I've been on a Cheetos kick recently and go into this little store near my apt often to buy them. I went a few days ago with won and tried to buy a pack but the price was double what I expected (and think I had been paying.) So I walked out because I didn't have enuf money, but then walked to another nearby store and bought them for the price I figured they were. My guess is that the store I frequent has doubled the price knowing that I buy all the cheetos out. They don't smile at me when I come in either, even though I buy alot from them.

I wouldn't go there anymore. And I WOULD walk by eating cheetos... Throw the empty bag in their garbage bin....

be sure to eat the cheetos you buy from store #2 on the bench thing outside store #1.

How stupid for the first store. Whenever I buy a lot of stuff from one store, the owners love me for it and go out of their way to get stuff for me. Oh well.

I wouldn't be so concerned about the price of junkfood. One thing that is driving up the cost of food is that America and some other Western countries have started to divert some of the World's grain production towards producing ethanol and "bio-diesel."

I was shocked to find a 1kg bag of tortilla chips in my supermarket today for 2,800. I don't think food prices have been affected that much. It's all relative I guess. If I lived in Mexico then that would be a different story.

The store with the lowest price wins your business. Why feel guilty about that?
