I know where you are going with this. The retail stores are fvcking the consumer AGAIN, this time with dirt. The bag used to be 40lbs and used to cost ~ $1.29 USD. Now the bags are about 1/2 the size of the 40lb bag and the price is the same. Effectively, these bozo retailers have doubled the price. Sorry. They lose. Just stop buying dirt. The grocery stores have been doing this for the past several years now with ice-cream and dairy products to bagged/packaged foods. Do they think we're idiots or something? We just stop buying your products you jackasses.
