Wally World had 16 pound RO for $10.00 and then it went up. Thirty pound was $15.00 and then went to $18.00 today $39.95. Sixteen pounder was about $14.00 I think. About the same as Kroger and Publix. I just don't know if I'll be able to afford to keep cooking on my $800.00 cooker.

    I just want to know why the bag price for 3 bags of rockwood is more than bag price for 2 bags.

    Because you get more cardboard and a 2 man lift requirement.

    Cant really use the 3-bag boxes to certain zones anymore because of the additional handling charges, so it has to go in two boxes....and it take more cardboard, tape, and labor to box 3 bags than it does 2 and 4 bags (on a per bag basis.)  3 bags just isn't the sweet spot anymore like it used to be.

    All kidding aside, it is the truth.  I was honestly surprised.  They didn't say they were Trump supporters by any stretch, but definitely not Biden supporters anymore.  They were very concerned with inflation and gas prices.  Their first 5% raise was less than inflation, so they were very aware that their buying power actually went down.

    I get annoyed at gas prices and inflation, but I am relatively insulated from the immediate impacts of those.  I haven't changed my lifestyle.  They have.  They used to travel anywhere they can drive because they could afford too.  Now they cannot.  Their life has been directly and negatively impacted by world events.  They blame Biden.

    You do not have to believe it, but it is at your peril if you want Biden elected again next go around.

    👍, I found it interesting.  I would prefer you think it is a joke, because it reinforces my own view that the Democrat establishment is disconnected from their base.  The more disconnected they are, the better chance America has in the mid-terms and in 2024.

    The younger voters are passionate, but that does not mean they are dumb.  They know who the Democrat establishment works for.  Look no further than the SALT roll-back.  That doesn't help their base, it helps their big donors on either coast.  By the way, that is the most expensive line item in Build Back Better.  At least Republicans are honest about who they serve.

    I am so glad that the Keystone pipeline got cancelled, I am sure that is helping keep gas prices down from where they should be.

    I think the made up part is that you sat and didn’t say anything.

    We shouldn’t be electing presidents the age of Biden or Trump.

    We shouldn’t fall in to the simplistic trap of thinking all credit/all blame falls on sitting president, or worse, we shouldn’t spread that when we know it isn’t that simple.


    This.  100%

    I bought some Farmland bacon yesterday. $5.99 /lb.  I was used to paying $3.99/lb, but was getting low in freezer.  The new sale flyer came out today (Dillons/Kroeger), and it’s now on sale for $6.99/lb.

    Ozzie, if I could ask: what news source(s) do you depend on?  I'm curious.
