We only go to McDonalds when on the road to the beach, usually only once a year, so the discrepancy in serving sizes is very noticeable.

I used to buy potatoes in 10-pound bags, but they would start getting soft or even rotten before we got through the bag. Also, my wife pays for the groceries and I never have been able to convert her to the idea of bulk purchasing.

Did you see the story in column 6, front page, Wall Street Journal, today? Headline: Bigger Bills: With Costs Rising, Companies Move To Increase Prices--Mix of Inflation, Slowdown Poses Challenge for Fed.

Also in email digest of WSJ:
