The Cost of Groceries

[baboon]

If buying food, watch the expiration dates at those stores.

I spent 36 years rotating hanging lunchmeat bacon, sausage & frozen foods. Not to forget rotating a fresh meat & chicken case.

Surprisingly the grocery isles are just as bad in turning up out of date items also.

Doesn't even take bad dates. I watched my son-in-law open a new gallon of milk and pour lumps into his cereal. The carton had an expiration date more than 2 weeks into the future. It was funny though.

I remembered climbing into a milk tanker to wash it out talk about a stank. Then while working the grocery store I remember the milk delivery trailer, even worse stank.

I worked grocery at Tom Thumb about 45 years ago. Fancy store for that time since you could stock dairy from behind the display in a huge refrigerated area. It always smelled of bad milk. On the positive side, all the leftover holiday candy was stacked in grocery carts in that area...without any inventory control.

Fer gawd's sake, do you people want to eat every day...?

Fer gawd's sake, do you people want to eat every day...?

I'm sorta into eating a couple times a day, but I may have to get over it...

I suspect it wasn't the norm in some ancient times and places, but I personally don't have that experience.

I read where the average plains Indian ate once every 3 days.back in the 1800s.

Found in comments on Red State article about bidenomics: "When Biden took office, inflation was 1.4% and gas was $2.39/gal. Today, inflation has fallen to 3.7% and gas is down to $3.75/gal."

Puts the democraps idiocy right out in the open.

So did Trump !

 

[Whistler]

Not Trump, he's not a pu**y crybaby crushed by "mean tweets" who handed the reins to a corrupt career politician that never did anything for this country but much against.

I just got home from grocery shopping. When I quit working I vowed never to have to step foot in a grocery store again, but here I am. Its me & the dog & I generally deviate from my list every time I shop. And then there are the thing they are out of on my list. WTF is up with Kosher pouching salt? Now they don't have large container of coarse bak pepper. And Topu Chico in the plastic bottles, I hate carrying glass bottles out in the trash.

I shop Brookshire's in Groesbeck simply because I like it better then Brookshire Brother's in Jewett or Buffalo.

Here's a breakdown of my bill
Vendor coupons $21.19
Thank you card discounts $51.10
Grand total $72.29
A savings of 25%

Mind you they took 5% off for my senior discount before this of $12.66. And after all that it was still $221.56

Do you remember when buying fruit or vegetables was not a "luxury" purchase. I do not know how families with young children make it.

I spent 36 years as a meat cutter in a major Texas grocery chain. While I do remember meat & seafood prices better I know the sting of buying fruits & vegetables
