[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5384904, member: 1409"] $1.96 minus $1.69 = $0.30 price increase May not initially sound like a whole lot, until you put the inflationary math to it. But going up this 30 cents is an [U]actual[/U] increase of 17.75% in less than a month! If these batteries increases an average of $0.30 monthly for the next 12 months, each battery becomes priced at $5.29. And that 18-pack of lithium batteries from Sam's becomes $95.22. The sales tax also gets tripled! So with a sales tax rate of 9.25%, that 18-pack of lithium AA's will be costing $104.03 !!! This would mean an [U]annualized[/U] "inflation" rate of 313% on these lithium batteries!!! Let's hope it doesn't continue increasing like this, but so far, "hope" has not been a good plan. [/QUOTE]
