I blame the conspiracy theorists
What's up with the price of tin foil? I don't use it much so a 25 foot roll lasts me a long time. Maybe a year. The last time I bought some I paid a little over two bucks on sale. I was shopping a couple of days ago and discovered that 25 feet is now almost five bucks for the store brand. You go for the top grade Reynolds and it was almost ten bucks for the 100 foot roll.
I recall hearing something about the rise in price for aluminum leading to a rise in property crime, with people stripping siding off any building that isn't under armed guard but this is crazy. I'm wondering if after 8 years of Bush making nearly everyone a conspiracy theorist, whether it was all those extra tin foil hats that led to the shortage.

It wasn't the conspiracy theorists, it was the Freemasons and the Rotary club. Read all about it at rense.com
Oh no. Not the Freemasons...
If the price of Aluminum foil is up,it's not because the price of the metal is up. Spot price for Aluminum has been about .67 - .68 dollars/Lb for the last year.
There was a large jump in 2005 or thereabouts - I know because I had to replace a pool enclosure, but like everything else, the price has tanked.
Well then, it really must be all the tin foil hats....
If you have a Big Lots store near you, it's a bit cheaper.
No big lots close by but I may try them when I go to the dentist again. I can get a roll at the dollar store as well, but the quality of the tin foil is bad. It's very thin.
Never trust your brain to cheap foil! Those Liberals on Neptune can beam right through it.
Isn't it funny how manufacturers have institutionalized price increases after so many years of inflation? Commodity prices decline, but they still try to sell us on the idea that every price goes up as though it were some law of nature.
Oh and by the way, Alcoa is down another 6.6% today and the gurus are telling everyone to sell because of the dim earnings prospects.
Law of 'good' business. Once you get them used to paying more, never drop the price.
Interesting that Alcoa is going down though. I suppose this bodes well for all those unprotected trailers that were being stripped in the dark of night.
Al Gore has bought up all the tin foil and is using it to focus the sun's rays on the polar ice caps in order to prove his theory of global warming! :)
LOL Rocky.
