Someone Call Security ! Sandpoint Idaho

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Sandpoint Realty LLC DB36113

Had to laugh at myself yesterday.  Got caught off guard.  Made a quick stop at a local North Idaho grocery store to pick up some Soda for the office and home.  After picking my jaw off the counter at the register, I then felt I should request Security escort me to my vehicle.

Being a numbers man I did some quick math.  $12.99 each case.  48 X 12 comes to 4.5 gallons.  Or better put, $5.77 a gallon.  Doubt we are paying that anywhere in US for fuel.  

We all know something is only worth what someone is willing to pay...fuel, homes, land, and now soda.  lol  I will be checking prices for soda much closer in the future and most likely doing without more often than not.  

If only I had a professional there to guide me with my purchase I most likely would have not been shocked at the cash register, or possibly made a more sensible purchase.

Good morning Mark,

It is amazing what we are paying for items. I bought a dozen of brown organic eggs the other day for $6.18/dozen!

Mark, just going in the door to the grocery store is downright frightening!   Coming out, your pockets are empty!

That is expensive Pepsi. We have been using some other brands that are less expensive.

Thankfully, I do not drink soda of any kind.  

"Or better put, $5.77 a gallon.  Doubt we are paying that anywhere in US for fuel."

I can debunk that ... we are paying that and more in my area of San Jose, CA

Hi Mark- I honestly have no idea how families are doing it.  Our once $1.69 a dozen eggs are $5. 69 and more. We haven't had soft drinks for years but other things have gone up.

It is definitely a time to reconsider priorities that is for sure.  mdm

Fortunately, we don't usually drink as much soda as our cars do gas.  I'm noticing gas prices here beginning to notch upward again.
