I see the acetylene tanks in the window. They are getting ready to torch the place to reduce inventory. The upward trend in price in a desperate attempt to maintain cash flow if anything.Comment

Rising Costs Force $1 Store Into $1.25 Store
Owner Says Rising Prices Shinking Profits

EAST LYME, Conn. -- Call it a sign of the times -- dollar stores have become the latest victims of a struggling economy.
A dollar store in East Lyme was recently forced to become a $1.25 store.
For seven years, Neil Hoelck, has been able to keep the price of most things at Dollar Express at $1. He said that he has been fighting a losing battle.
"I thought about doing it months ago," he said.
The Dollar Express sells anything from gum to goggles, but prices have been creeping up to the point where there wasn't enough profit.
"Costs are going through the roof, I had to pass it on to the consumer," he said.
While Hoelck said that some things in the store will still be $1 or two for $1, most everything will sell for $1.25.
Customer Michael Karamargin, of Niantic, said that he doesn't mind the price increase.
"I'm surprised it took him so long to do it," he said.

See if he has been able to hedonically deflate it...or maybe he's substituting to help keep the CPI down.Comment
