I Just Came Back From the Grocery Store - Outrageous!

Sweet potatoe surprise:

Cook potatoes or yams, let cool, add brown sugar, mash, roll into a ball around a marshmallow, roll in crushed corn flakes, deep fry or bake. It melts the marshmallow inside...try it, you'll like it.

You might have messed up any got the organics. I was working in Utah and grabbed some bananas. They checked out at $8.95. I got the bananas that were not gassed. Next time I will be careful and pick up the chemically enhanced and pesticide gassed variety.

Right on... the media is keeping their lefty lips zipped because they don't want their Anointed One to be associated with these high prices

But if it was Bush or a Repuke at the helm they'd be howling like banshees, giving us sob stories about poor families eating dog food because they can't afford nutritious food, etc. etc.

I hate the f***in' media with a passion.

Now you can imagine how far food stamps really go.

I've never heard of yams at 3.50 a piece. OP either your store is doing some sort of weird yam price gouging or they were marked wrong.

wow. I had a shock like that recently buying some apples.
Sweet potatoes are not normally almost $5 apiece. Jeez.

Weather permitting I now ride my bike to the grocery store and keep my car garaged. I've got two large saddle bags cable locked onto the rear rack. And the bike cable locked onto Amish hitching posts while I'm in the store. That's my latest money saving idea that I've implemented.....

Thanks for all the input. Yes, gardening is best. But, I need a greenhouse to grow sweet potatoes or yams. Too cold here in the mountains. We did grow a whole bunch of regular potatoes, though. Got heritage seeds from Peru, russets, and golden. Trying to stay away from eating white carbs, though. Rats.

What is a Yam? Some type of Clam?

I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I say it...

cool story bro!

LoL, if you are spending $100 a day on food you are a spoiled cunt.

I get that you want it to be from scratch. But, as a southern cook from a family of southern cooks, really great cooks, a budget tip. Sugary Sam Yams. Buy the big can.
Pour off the juice, and then do everything the same way you do with the expensive yams. About $2.50.

Seriously

STFU, that's my food budget for a week, it's usually less than that

"come with me if you want to yam"

It is a market and eventually we will all pay about a half years work for that slab. Unless.......................................................​.............................................................​.............................................................​.............................................................​.............................................................​.just be an elite!

Yam down...everything will be all right.

Why am I a spoiled cunt?

The prices are going up so fast, that is crazy...I'm here to share my experience.
So what if I can afford more?
I'm still one of the regular people.
These money came from my husbands and my hard work.
He works hard so his family can be well taken care of.

Shame on you guys who put down hard working people!!!

Wow! $.48 a lb here. That's outrageous!

I yam what I yam

2 big cans with marshmallows and brown sugar.

Well, in all fairness...I could take my wife and 2 kids out to a nice steakhouse dinner with 100 bucks and still have money left after leaving a good tip.

...a giant frozen lasagna that will feed a family is under 20 bucks....

homemade hamburger cookout with all sides and toppings?...under 50 bucks.

wanna go even more OMG frugal? Spaghetti & meatballs....6-7 bucks.

..congrats you can afford 100 bucks a day on gold plated organic porkchops, but I'll stick with a diet where i don't have to take out an insurance policy on my kitchen cabinets.

just spent ten bucks at In n Out a couple days ago, on 2 Double Doubles & fries, and it was filler materiel. And the place was full, they're supposed to be #1 and they serve filler materiel. Something more approaching real food is at Humberto's, a local Mexican place - for about $7 including tax, a real meat burrito, refried beans and rice, plus some toppings if you like. But then I went to Safeway and they have Australian brass-fed been on sale right now for $4.99/lb, so I worked up some big beef-and-potato burritos for about three dollars each.

grass-fed beef is what I bought at Safeway.....and I'll stop typing in the dark. Yikes. And shut up, you predatory perverts shites at the NSA.

Yeah Organic Juice like Pineapple, Grape, Coconut, etc etc is R8.00 a Jar!!!!! A lb. of Organic Almonds went from $6.00 to $14.99 in less than two weeks when i went back for more!? wtf! whatever sells a lot they mark up. Even my shampoo went from $14.99 to $20.00!

ughs.

$8.00 ****

I live in expensive area. The tomatoes I eat cost $6.99 a pound right now, they went up $1 a pound this past week.
Bread is more then $5 and so on. I hate the fact that eating a normal food costs so much.
I drink matcha latte every morning, it is $5.85. WTF? It is just some milk with green tea.
I do consider organic food a normal food, that everyone should afford.
Our hard earned money go for just eating normal food.

I do feel angry that people can't afford to eat right.

Up here a single solitary mushroom(genetically modified - no doubt) will cost you .35-.45 cent. And that's for one. Buy 2 and you lookin at .90 cents.

A russet potato for $1. Really? A dollar for a potato?
It used to be a $1 dollars worth of potatoes would last 2 months

Best comment of the day!
