The local Office Depot is going out of business, so the entire store is on sale. They have big signs that say "up to 50% OFF EVERYTHING,"

I like buying office supplies, and it's been going on for a fee weeks now with no set date for the permanent closure, so I head over there every now and then to check if the sales have gone up. Most items have been 20% off, but because nothing is moving they've started pushing things for 30 or 40% off

WHILE RAISING THE PRICES

I kept track! The base prices are going up faster than the sales, so you're actually paying MORE for the items now then before! A box of pencils was 20% off $5 the other day, not it's 30% off $6, so you pay 20 cents more. Big poster boards were 30% off $2, now they're 50% off $4, 60 cents more! A lot of shelves are bare because people have been buying up printer paper and ink and pens, but the wall of 3-rinf binders is as full as ever because they're charging OVER TEN DOLLARS for some laminated cardboard, even after 40% off! It's fucking ridiculous! Capitalists literally can't help themselves; even during the liquidation sale they insist on jacking up prices! They'd rather destroy unsold merchandise than let it go for cheap.

And Office Depot was the only game in town. There are no other office supply stores or copy ppaces for 100 miles! Now we have to go up on the mainland if we want to buy anything. That's not entirely true; CVS still has a stationary section, where they sell individual pens for $3 each or a 4 pack for $7. They also have 75 sheet wide-rule composition notebooks for 5 bucks a pop.

The Florida Keys really are the bottom of the barrel...

So much for getting a new handheld device

My wife and I have been using our 2nd generation Nintendo Switches for several years, when we need a gaming device on-the-go (road trips, camping, etc), but that device is getting a bit long in the tooth. I was looking to get her a Switch 2, since she really likes the Nintendo platform, and I was eyeing a Steam Deck for my own use. Well, so much for that. While Nintendo increased the price of…
