Yes, our spending power is diminishing.  Manufacturers are clever.  Superficially the price is about the same as before, but the contents have actually shrunk unnoticeably.  Facial tissues are smaller and thinner, cooking oil in 40-oz bottle instead of 48-oz bottle, fewer chips in the same bag......  Today I went to a supermarket.  Fuji apple used to be 99 cents a pound, today $1.29 a pound.......
