It stayed at $1.20-$1.30 for quite awhile after that... and then... oh... I don't remember exactly when - but last summer or so it started climbing to 1.50, 1.60, 1.70++++ and lookee where we are now.

This has always been my complaint about the rising prices - I know that they must go up over time due to inflation etc - but the rate at which they jumped up was insane. I am now paying TRIPLE what I was paying just 3 years ago.... tell me someone isn't making out like a damn bandit here.
