on another site that Amazon hasn't raised the rate since 2005.

It also said that shipping and fuel costs are going up, so I guess I can't blame them for not wanting to lose money, especially for families like mine that order lots and lots of stuff from them.

If the price does go up, I imagine it will probably be the lower number, which is still a good deal for me, being all rural and everything. Just going to the city twice would cost that much in gas.
