crappy trip to the grocery store

a truck in the parking lots - a dozen crazy stickers - die socialist scum

inside the prices - and a pregnant woman with three small children

hungry homeless man -with sign - at the exit

America - we are number one

done in these past two weeks, I am not noticing prices up on the things I buy.

Yesterday the woman in front of me got a LOT of fresh vegetables and some citrus, and a couple of other things, and her total bill was maybe 14 dollars. Didn't talk to her, so don't know if she's a vegan or vegetarian or just needed what she bought and there was meat at home. But I have been noticing that veggies are remarkably inexpensive for what you get.

I make a lot of copa, proscuitto, and salamai and sausage. I got pork shoulder for .99/lb last weekend. Beef has fallen too.

Thank you thank you,have been yelling about these price increases since August. And there is zero inflation in the consumer price index. Bullsh*t! Grocery price increases have and will always come in August and if the buying public does not push back,you will get further increases until the public screams.

I get why three out of four of those are frustrating, but what's wrong with a pregnant woman with three small kids?

If you don't want questions about weird stuff that you post and if you refuse to answer questions about the weird stuff you post, then why are you posting it?

I watch my grand sons now and see they are doing the same things I did. They had to paint one of their rooms because they wanted everyone to see how well they could spell.

As far as food goes, the grains market are in a tail spin like gasoline. Beef is going down but it changes its mind on a daily basis.

Most of the veggies we get now are imported, at least we used to know before the republicans gleefully helped do away with Country Of Origin Labeling. (COOL)
