[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8914494, member: 683408"] You know Jimi, you and I had this debate once before. At that time, you were claiming your grocery costs had doubled from the year before. Your support of your argument was that Diet Coke had doubled in price for you, because you were buying it in much smaller quantities, in order to be healthier. At that time, I went and compared one of my actual shopping receipts from a year prior, to the prices on the very day of the discussion. They had gone up far less thatn double. In fact, I'm not even sure it had increased by doubke-digit percentages. I asked you in good faith to do your own comparison from YOUR purchases in YOUR area, to see how you could possibly be paying double, when the market area served by my local retailer (about 250,000 people) had not raised their prices anywhere near as much as you claimed yours had. I asked you in good faith mutliple times to do it, but you always found a reason not to. Feel free to actually prove yourself right when challenged, instead of just offering up your "Rob is always right" nonsense. I'm sure there are others who cheer when you do it, as if you somehow "zinged" me. But honestly: That line is tired, and it's a lazy way out. It proves nothing more than that you have no support for your argument. [/QUOTE]
