This should be called “a punch to the gut in 98 words”.

Yeah, I wanted to go with something maybe other people might feel or have experienced at some point.

oh my gosh!

olfactory memories are the worst and lead to disappointment more often than I'd like. :(

So true. Totally not fair, either. heh.

That picture was taken before covid and government interference right?

Maybe, not sure. Found it on Pixabay. Eggs in my area right now are less than $1.00 a dozen. Got some last weekend for $0.79/dozen on sale. (US dollars).

Wow sounds like they are finally dropping down to a "normal" price. They are around $1.50 here but we also don't pay a grocery tax so I am sure the tax is built into the cost.

Yeah, this is a fairly recent development, but I also know the chicken commodities are actually the fastest to recover. Pork is down too - Bacon used to be $7 or $8 a pound, I can get it for $3 now on sale, usually $4 or so for the store brand. Beef is going to take a couple years to recover, it takes a few years to raise a cow to be big enough for slaughter. I can still get decent sale prices though... just not like it used to be - $3.99/lb instead of $2.99/lb.

Yeah it will come back. Just wish Home prices would come down along with rental prices. These prices are unsustainable.

Dude. Exclamation! Talk about a blast from the past! That just drop-kicked me back at least 20 years. 😂👍

J.M. Gooding's avatar

HAHA!! Try 30 years… 33 years to be exact. 1993. My high school sweetheart wore it all the time.

Outstanding! It was my fave! 😂

J.M. Gooding's avatar

So you liked it? 😊

Oh yes.

The scent part inspired me and found its way into my submission!

I love, love moments like these. My first take on it was just lovely nostalgia! Though I can definitely see disappointment!
