To start the episode we explore the only news worth talking about - The Dollar Store raising their prices. For 35 years, the discount chain Dollar Tree committed to selling almost everything for $1. Time has come to pass the buck: Prices for most items will increase to $1.25. Each year, the value of a dollar is eroded by inflation, making a dollar price commitment more difficult to maintain. Last month, inflation reached the highest rate since 1990. Dollar Tree's rivals have been veering away from strict $1 prices — or even $5, in the case of Five Below. Now, the final stickler is conceding. Dollar Tree plans to roll out higher prices to all stores by early 2022.
To end the episode we saw Meg's mom the other day for the first time in a while and yeah I'm not gonna lie - ya boys been shedding a few pounds - I'm down 40 from last year - no big deal.
