inflation

watching late night tv...
Has 29.95 became the new 19.95?

The all new super duper ________ for just $29.95

hmmm. I''ll have to watch those infomercial more closely now.

Yes:

And $19.95 has become the replacement for $9.95; and so on going up.

The other problem is that the $50 bill has become the replacement for the old $20. I remember when I got a fist full of $20''s and perhaps a few $50''s when I went to the bank for my weekly cash. Now I get $50''s and $100''s.

I figure in a few years that the US Treasury will bring back the $500 bill.

that is true, it used to be I could go to the store with a $10 bill and actually buy a few things.
Now it takes at least a $20
