I know that we are supposed to be riding an economic boom according to all of the stock-talkers, but it does not seem that this is a reality in some areas of the economy
I have been into several electronics and computer stores in the last few weeks. none of them have properly stocked shelves. they are like ghost towns. Now, it could be the post-christmas period and all that, but usually poorly-stocked shelves scream "cash flow crisis".
Due to my boycott of companies that advertise on FAUX “news” (aka FOX), I turned to ALDI for most of our groceries. I got quality store brands at a fraction of the cost we used to pay - our grocery bill plummeted.
I noticed it doesn’t matter the day of the week or the time of day. The store is always PACKED. There are lines to get to the $.71 eggs and $.81 per gallon milk.
I then stop by my former, posher store to pick up items ALDI doesn’t carry. And it is a ghost town.
