A threshold was crossed today

So I did something today I didn't think I would have to do for at least a few more years...I actually paid over a buck for a candy bar. Granted, there were two mitigating factors here. One, it was a Superamerica, and they mark things up like crazy. Two, it was on the corner of Grant and LaSalle downtown, so I probably chipped in a little more towards the Twins' new stadium. But, even without sales taxes, that Reese's peanut butter cup package was 95 cents!!! I don't want to get into the reasons for this just yet, but I thought it was worth noting.

Fortunately, SA is not the only game in town in my neighborhood anymore. And really, I shouldn't be buying candy bars anyway.
