I just bought several items online from Bealls. I had been in the store recently and bought some things, and then I received an email about a sale and just ordered more stuff. Almost everything was so cheap. Bathing suits were 40% off. I bought the exact same bathing suit cover up I bought a two weeks ago, because I like it so much, $16.80! I also bought some sandals. Those prices definitely are not up, but maybe as new merchandise comes in it will have higher price tags? We’ll see.
Some items at the grocery store are up and some aren’t. Gas is higher than I have seen so far though. Interestingly, there are barely any cars at the gas station near me, and the last two months there was a lot of cars every time I drove by. Maybe people will start curbing their travel now. I wish my discussion groups would all go back to 100% zoom again and lower demand for gas at the pumps. Some people go to three discussion groups a week. The exercise classes aren’t the same on zoom, but the lectures and discussions were fine on zoom. Also, maybe people who never pay attention to planning a lot of errands together so they use less gas, maybe they are doing better planning now. I usually try to not zig zag all over town.
