Mike,
It’s not just you, I’ve noticed exactly the same thing myself. I’ve also noticed that the price of aluminum foil has shot thru the roof and the price of a 12 pack of diet soda has also increased from one to two dollars more. I won’t get into the political implications here in respect for the website rules, but I’m pretty sure everyone can connect the dots as to why this may be happening.

Bob, that was something that I felt I could not reveal on a public site without an announcement from Whirlpool. Now, if you were in my store at the time, absolutely I'd let you know about the price increase coming.
The funny thing is they raised the price and then offered a discount for the months of May and June. | ||

Everything is going up. Mike, Texas hiked our vehicle registration fees alsol down here in Texas. Yesterday I went to Lowes to pick up a new kitchen facet unit, Dear Lord when did a near standard unit go up to nearly $150.00!!! I choked. I know I didn't pay that 5 years ago. Barry | ||

Well, If discussing the price hikes for semi- and durable goods alongside consumables like gasoline is 'political', then let's just pursue it in Dirty Laundry. Personally, I don't mind paying good money for good products. What I've seen come out of Whirlpool lately hasn't seen any increase in quality commensurate with the outrageous profiteering. | ||

Mike this is a story as old as dirt! And recession scares the hell out of me too! When these underwater properties finally go into foreclosure who do you think swoops in and buys them up? Bingo, the wealthy and the shady, like a certain resident on Pennsylvania Ave. Then they manage to get prices to go up, WAY up on real estate and sell it at monumental profit. And the working and middle class are the unsuspecting pawns in their dirty scheme.
And now we have a multitude of TV programs devoted to this “Flip” game enticing the working and middle class to play it too, with the hope of attaining the same wealth. The only way to get ahead for sure in real estate for someome in my working class backround is to buy a home you can AFFORD to keep making the payments on, then pay it off as soon a you can, and DON”T borrow against the equity! This can be your security and hedge against inflation and recession. If you no longer have a high monthly pay out for your housing expense that puts you ahead of the game. And you will also have an asset that can be liquidated when you are well into your Golden Years to provide income and security for the remainder of you life. Trying to get rich quick is a gamble I’m not willing to take. Keep your eye on the prize and slow and steady wins the race. Eddie | ||
