I saw a post, or two about shrinking food packages. The pound of spaghetti

With shrinking packs and price hikes, it's going to get a lot harder to do
much of anything. Like feed the family after home repairs. Anyone but me

I just had to roll over an IRA - 0.25% for 14 months.
Could have gotten 0.4% for much longer time. Might as well spend the
money now or put it under my mattress.


Or put it somewhere other than a bank.
