[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think for a lot of people it’s not that noticeable because even think the increase is high as a percentage, it’s not that high in total dollars and it’s not a huge chunk of the monthly spend. Let’s say I was spending $150/week and now it’s $180. That’s a 20% increase which sounds huge. But $30/week or $120/month is just not that much in many people’s budgets. I can recoup $120/month simply by dropping 2 takeout meals for my family. Or not buying a new pair of pants. It’s pretty easy.[/quote] If you have growing kids, it's not so easy to put off buying new pants indefinitely. Clothes, shoes, etc. you need to keep buying. I couldn't believe a run of the mill pair of sneakers for my middle schooler is $170. But she outgrew the old ones and needs new ones. [/quote]
