I was thinking the same thing when I saw a recent post office commercial. Low price? Since when?!? My DH took a book (novel size) to mail for me and they wanted $8.90!
I think there is more false advertising than ever these days.

The prices here are going beyond absurd. Doing as FF talked about - marking the ads and buying only from them. This year I am going to grown something-anything and use it!!

This is not surprising, as many consumers will see it and jump on it because they don't know the difference. Another tactic is same or lower price for the now smaller size.

Mayonnaise is in a smaller jar now - staple that I may be phasing out.

Funny you said that about mayonnaise mm. I was just in Mexico and they do not even sell miracle whip. If mayonnaise is being phased out what will we make tuna noodle salad and tuna fish sandwiches with?
Best place to buy frozen vegetables is Aldi. Still $1 and under for 16 OUNCES. They even have cauliflower, broccoli and carrots together for that price; one of my favorites
Imo the only way to beat these high prices is to buy and cook your meals with loss leaders every week. I've been doing this for years and have probably saved thousands of dollars. Better in my pocket than theirs
