Yeah, prices are going up. Same exact question as when you asked less than a month ago. As much as I don't want to see prices going up, that isn't causing me any heartburn. I don't like it since I don't like to spend more money but it is a fact of life. It is going to happen. And even if the rising pace in Florida is slow right now (by your opinion), wait until it kicks in down the road. LoL. I don't know what the problem is with Cebu. I see "Buy one, get one" all time. In fact, I was out this afternoon doing some shopping and saw a bunch.
Sorry if I repeated myself, my memory is just about shot,

some things I remember and many I do not, sadly I am closing in on the time when I may have to even walk away from forums, or just stop posting all together.
As for Florida, I did not say prices were not up, in fact I wrote just the opposite "
they are no doubt up in Florida as well, I just do not notice them as much in Florida and I suspect those who live full time in the Philippines, likely do not notice them as much either" As for buy one get one, I am happy to see that your area has it a lot, I hope to see it more in Cebu, saw some last year, did not see any this year at all but we are not there all year, so maybe it happens more when we are not there. Also the last time we were in the Manila area, I noticed that prices on many items were lower there than Cebu, I suspect because that is the port of entry and where a lot of items may get manufactured and then some items get shipped to Cebu from there.
Thank you for your input..
