Really? Most of those are internet purchases. Are you suggesting that my Homedepot and Amazon prices show up differently in my state vs. Florida?

Tell me if this rings true.

What's your price in Florida?
Yes the prices are most certainly different by area even in the same national chain

purely an economic question, but when the US dollar rises in value to against other countries currencies, doesnt that mean the us dollar has more purchasing power now and deflation has actually occured?

Mathematically speaking, yes.... but inflation and math dont always tend to agree on the finer points....LOL

That is true, unless it isn't. Economics is what they say it is. Who is They is the real question.

Dude what did I just say about no politics!?!

A lot of truth to that. I know it's pretty common for the base price to be higher where there's lower/no sales tax.
After tax it only costs us about 1% more to buy at our local Home Depot than an hours drive across the line where there's no sales tax.

Same all over the world by the look of it. Out here inNew Zealand
it is the same, everytime you go to the grocery shop most items have
gone up a dollar or two petrol snecks up everytime you go there.
Chainsaw parts the same so it looks as though it is just the world
we are living in at the moment.

We should all be thankful we live in America. In school today I was teaching about the breakup of the Soviet Union and the hyperinflation they experienced, which ranged from 1,000-2,000 percent annually in the early 1990's. I held up a dry erase marker and explained that if this cost $1 today during 2,000 percent inflation, in 2 years it would cost $400. That really got the attention of the students.

I never knew you were a teacher.

I've taught at a small private Christian school for a few years now. It's quite a rewarding job, but I definitely enjoy unwinding while fixing 2-cycles on evenings and weekends.
What is the CTE education program like there?

I am in Oklahoma. I guess location matters. Sorry. It is possible there was a price drop. Check your price today to compare.
