Food/Grocery Doom | |
BRIEF  User ID: 381742  United States05/22/2012 11:11 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We're grilling out tonight so yesterday we went to buy the food, and while I don't usually look at the price, Kroger only had 5 fillet Mignon steaks, we had to go to three different grocery stores...they should have whole fuck'n cows back it the meat department! Are we running out of cattle? Quoting: BRIEF Brief,dont you remember the big beef sales last year because of the drought? whole herds were being done away with all over the country because of hay prices. Yeah, guess that's it...just can't see the demand for meat go down...feed them damn things and keep the steak rolling in! I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.  |

| Adveser User ID: 10716246 United States05/22/2012 11:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I take a whole chicken, about 3.50, and I cook it all day with spices in a crock pot. It comes out juicy and tender and it's a whole lot cheaper then the roasted pre-cooked ones. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1445528 You are not considering the manpower or energy cost of cooking the chicken at all in your cost analysis. I'm broke as hell and it is far cheaper to eat out than cook anything that isn't the worst shit you can think of. I have ADHD and probably rely on a hunter's diet (that's ione theory) and I need meat to feel okay. If I go a week without it I get sicker. Three double cheeseburgers at 3 bucks beats a box of Hot Pockets at 2 bucks that I have to pay a dollar to cook and clean the ensuing dishes and use my own cleaning supplies to do it. |

Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

| Storm* User ID: 1199093 United States05/22/2012 12:16 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was last at the grocery store, some guy started a conversation with me about a product he saw me put in my cart. It lead to a discussion of food prices. He said to look around the store. That it used to be full of people with full carts of food, and that now there are a lot less shoppers, and they are not filling their carts anymore. Now, I realize that many people shop at Walmart instead of other local grocery chains. But what he said was true. Also, even when stores do a buy one get one free deal, the price is so jacked up that it really isn't much of a savings at all. Last Edited by Storm* on 05/22/2012 12:16 PM |

When meat is tainted I get reactions (understatement) so far Whole fds beef is the only one that doesn't make my body go nuts. New empty nester last 6 months so my son comes over a lot for dinner and make 'care packages' for him to take home & freeze. Anyway, even Whole fds has only maybe 3 flank steaks per wk to 10 days and they are ordering less on hand of other cuts at a time but didn't say why. My son goes through 3 gallons of organic milk/11 days and do think if you have a lot of something it is much better to use organic. There are lots of things I just don't buy anymore b/c of doubling prices, ie., org fruits/veg .. rather than conventional stuff known for tainting with Monsanto's supercharged poisons. |
