Is this a sort of documentary you are doing? I'm asking because the concept is great. I feel like I'm doing this daily comparison of 'Then' and 'Now' when it comes to grocery expenditures. For example, the little town of Piacenza in which I live, is a product of over-globalization and over-building. I'm not sure what they think they are trying to create over here out of the oldest city next to Rome, but unfortunately it's a conglomerate of commercial strip malls and American 1950s style suburbia. It's sad. And worse, the prices are at least double for EVERYTHING. As if the Italian merchants didn't pull enough of a fast one on its clients when the lire went to euro: while the zeros vanished, the prices doubled. Now I can't even buy a stalk of celery for less than 2,50 euro. A few months ago that was like 5 bucks. Celery? 5 bucks? ghiggawhuu?
