Money

Is any one else really feeling the effects of this terrible economy because i know i sure am. Everytime i look in my wallet i feel like its empty. I was out a bar the other night and i ordered one beer and they charged me 7 dollars. I know this is normal some places but i have paid no morethan 4 dollars at this place before. I just dont understand where certain places get off charging the prices they do. The same thing goes for campus. How in gods name does this university get away with charging 5 dolars for an energy drink. I thought certain things have a suggested retail price and i know for damn sure 5 dollars was no where near the srp of AMP energy drinks. These places are killingg me!!
