Talking About Prices

Rosalba: Can you believe these Prices? I know we’re in a Recession, but the cost of everyday Necessities shouldn’t Skyrocket overnight.

William: I think it has something to do with the Shortage of Produce. I don’t know why I’m surprised that stores like this one try To gouge customers At the drop of a hat. I guess it’s Par for the course — anything to make a little extra money.

Rosalba: You said it! Even when there’s a good Supply, the prices are never Dirt cheap. Any savings the stores get are never Passed on to the customers.

William: I have a mind to stop buying fruits and vegetables until the prices go down.

Rosalba: You mean a Boycott?

William: Yeah, I won’t eat any fruits and vegetables until these high prices come down.

Rosalba: How long do you think you can Keep that up?

William: I don’t know, but let’s find out!
