Dollar Tree was first. Still no energy drinks in the coolers, but they have plenty on the shelf. The food coolers are pretty full, the drink coolers perhaps a little more than half full now. They've been generally a little busier than in past months, with a single line generally insufficient for the number of customers. It's not food they're buying; I still see a lot of party-crap being sold. We didn't stop at Home Depot, but looking online, a 2x4x8 has taken a pretty big drop, to $3.18. Their Black Friday deals have apparently started, so we'll make a point of visiting soon. Aldi was the second stop. I saw a couple more price drops, and no increases since last week. Staple prices were: eggs: $1.11; milk: $3.06; heavy cream: $4.69; OJ: $3.19; butter: $2.99 (drop #1); bacon: $4.49; potatoes: $3.49; flour: $1.99 (drop #2 but might have dropped last week); sugar: $3.09. I may add ground beef to the list; 80% was $4.19/lb. A gallon of untainted regular remains at $3.899. I really like that the Kona gets ~28-30mpg.
