Lozano's Car Wash Coupons - 33% Inflation Over 2016

Here are the latest coupons for Lozano's Car in Mountain View CA. 

This coupon, found on the back of my Safeway receipt, is good through 12/31/17. 

 These higher priced coupons are good through January 31, 2018. Note that their blue "Tuesday Only" price is up $6 or 33.4% over last year at this time!

The various coupon prices are $2 higher than the mid 2017 price that expires in a few days.

This $2 jump matches the $2 per hour jump in Mountain View's minimum wage.

Note that inflation has soared for many reasons including the cost of ACA/Obamacare, soaring Mountain View minimum wages and the high cost of living here means businesses have to pay more to keep good workers.

This car wash is located at the corner of Palo Alto, Los Altos and Mountain View California.

This coupon from last year at this time with an 10/31/16 expiration date is $17.99.  Thus $6 inflation in 12 months or $6/$19.99*100%=33.4% inflation!

It is hard to believe we could get our cars washed for $12.99 just four years ago.  I guess that explains why I wash my two autos myself more often than in the past! 

High inflation but still low CD rates

I can see why many chip companies have moved manufacturing out of the Silicon Valley where the minimum wage in many cities is or will be $15 per hour soon.  

From www.mountainview.gov - CITY MINIMUM WAGE 

On October 9, 2014, the Mountain View City Council, approved the first reading of a Minimum Wage Ordinance establishing a minimum wage in the City of Mountain View of $10.30 per hour effective July 1, 2015, with annual adjustments for inflation on January 1 of each following year. The second reading of the Minimum Wage Ordinance was held on October 28, 2014.

The City Council also adopted a goal of reaching a $15.00 per hour minimum wage by 2018, working in cooperation with neighboring cities and regional organizations, and with input from the Mountain View community. In March 2015, staff will update the Council on minimum wage provisions in the region and seek direction on a work plan to achieve this goal.
