I shop less and I have moved to less expensive products. I no longer impulse buy. I work from a list. I still run out of money before the end of the month.

Linda C May

Being on Disability, fixed income, my money just doesn't go as far. I try to eat good food, but it's getting harder to afford them. Why is junk food cheaper......

Jeanette Johnson

I totally agree with you. I am also on disability and fixed income. I still shop at Costco because I do get more for my money AND I definitely need more for my money. I don't buy as much meat as I used to that's for sure.

Alma

Yes, I've had to use walmart more and I dislike walmart.

Megan Basl-Huff

The prices are completely out of the roof. Now I have to drive farther to save more on groceries.

Dianne Price

Check where the best sales are!!

Inflation caused by biden

Bryan

Actually, it's Trump's crappy chinese tariffs that we are paying the price for. Biden has done very little that would cause inflation. Brush up a little before making accusations.

But, it has made me more mindful of my purchases.

Lisa York

I still shop at the same stores and buy the same items... just less.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
