Am I too cynical ?

Howdy all, for some reason I seem to do most of the grocery shopping at home. SWMBO detests it, I love it, supermarkets are air-coned, great range of products and usually a young mum or two that catches this ol' pervs eye....hehehe.

As we are stocking up for a short trip in a couple of weeks time, I decided to do the major shop on the day a 'prominent retailer' was donating the days profit to the Victorian Fire Effort.
Good on them, I thought.

However, back at the shop last Tuesday, noticed average retail prices up a lot more than normal, over a wide range of goods, goods which havent been on special or reduced previously.

It just got me wondering if this was a business ploy to rake back that days profit, at the same time looking good in the publics eye.


Do you reckon Im getting too cynical in my later years ?


Cheers......Lionel.
