I just read an article regarding Kimberly-Clark.  They make Kleenex, Huggies, and a whole host of consumer products. They said that they would raise prices in third  quarter as much as 6-8%  on their products too offset higher raw material and energy costs.  This is happening accross the board.  Point here is, the wave of increases happening from the manufacturers has NOT hot the consumers yet.  Be ready.  If you do not have a budget now is the time to create one.  This storm is long from over.
