one NINETY NINE

So the new Blackberry phone is $199.99 .... look at all those NINES. Wouldn't a buyer rather see zero than nine? Haven't we as a species sort of moved past the 199 mentality? And come on... gasoline is still priced like $4.49 9/10ths instead of $4.50 ... *facepalms*.... Come on vendors, just admit the Blackberry is $200, and stop perpetuating the insult.

:P

In other price news...
I don't usually go in to Albertsons because it is usually the most expensive market in our area.. but it was near my dinner choice, so I took a stroll on in just to see how prices were after all these months away...
eeeesh... still way high on most things 8|
Like... what I went in for... at other stores it's $4 for 34 oz but at Albertsons it's still $4... for just 22 oz .. ;P
That'd be $5.82 for the same amount that's $4 at Ralphs and Vons and Stater Bros.

BUT.
And this is what I wanted to tell you all about!... They are having a preposterous and puzzling sale on some (Post and Quaker) breakfast cereals... $1.88 for huge boxes of it!! And only until April 14th.... so I picked up 2 or 3 months worth of cereal for $15 !!

If cereal is your bag, ya might take a stroll on over there ^v^
Usually I like the Kelloggs Mini-Wheats the best because it's lowest in sodium, but I'm already stocked up on that... so I have a bowl of Mini Wheats for fiber and low sodium and then a bowl of the other for variety.. and that's breakfast .. *tailwags*

Best wishes all! ^v^
