Took 6 bags of cans in, before that would have gotten me $100 easy, now it's $75. We are getting bent over a barrel with the "deposit".
Picked up a new battery for the Toy, price on that sure as hell didn't go down.
Making BLT's again for dinner because I have glorious home grown tomatoes.

Price fixing, the State and collusion. Recycling has been in effect for years now so folks are used to it and have no say.You are charged a 5 cent recycle tax per can but you never get it back. It's become big business and price is determined by buyer
edit: it's become away to make money but not for the consumer; cities now have recycle with trash pickup and that is a way for the pickup outfit to make more money. It's complicated but it's effectively a tax on the consumer and free money for some other entity

Apparently the same is happenin g here. My buddy today was saying the return place has been packed the last several times he went so he didn't wait in line, but they have reduced the price of deposits. It's supposed to be 5 cents but a lot of places were paying 6.5 or 7 cents...Now all back to 5 and they can't hire help.

WTF is happening to this country world ?? On the news tonight the next thing that's going to take a serious increase in price....Food, of course!
