Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I'm sick of grocery store Price gouging!

And if we're talking where you "buy the jug" and fill it up in store from their filter system - plastic comes from oil. Notice what oil's been doing lately - cost wise?

Shipping empty jugs is damn inefficient too - you fill the truck long before you run out of weight so you end up sending more trucks than you might of some other commodity. Again at a 55-56% rate premium over the last 2 years due to the shift in buying by the American consumer since CV19 started.

They have 51 brands worldwide but I don't know how many were specific to the NA market which is the piece they sold off.

I suspect the Kirkland/Great Value brands - done by Nestle on a contract basis. So much of that stuff is. Especially (I'm learning) coffee.

Jumbo eggs 4.79 a dozen today. Large eggs were on sale for 2.99.

Oh man. You dumbasses shoulda bought sour cream in bulk ten years ago when I did, put it up under the house for later.

Sheesh. Idiots...

You folks see this scheidt?

Got a little shock last week, friend of 40 years called with a half a beef, cut and wrapped. Me, How much? Him, You ain't gonna like it. Me, C'mon, I been buying your beef for 20 years, it's top quality, how much? Him, Well I gotta get 5 bucks. Me, Holy [bleep], ....stammer, stutter....uh, I think the freezer is full anyway, no room. Him, Ok, I can find a home for it. That's where we left it, I am pretty sure last Sept he charged 3.40 plus .75 for cut and wrap so, probably paid 4.05 ish. What are you guys paying?

and there is that pesky inflation, caused by dumping trillions of magic dollars into the money supply. That alone screwed the economy. The snowball of crap is just starting to roll downhill.

4 Major Meat Processors in the US, 2 are Brazilian owned.

I've never bought 1/2 a beef. No idea. I buy the occasional cut steak (strip or porterhouse) but 99.5% of my red meat had fur I poked a hole into.

I paid $7/lb last spring for 1/4. Grass fed, "organic" , grazed behind our place and on the neighbors ranch (he holds the allotment behind us). 1/4 is all we needed and could fit in the little freezer. We're still eating on it. I did it because I like knowing where my food comes from, they're great folks, and they are just getting into selling locally. Figured I'd help them out some.

Welding rods. 300.00 a box. They are more important than food!!!

I do...but you shouldn't drink it.

Is it so bad it can't be filter to the acceptable point?

Open your own store and make a killing.

They said it would never be good enough.

WTF?

What type?

6011 @ $116 (25 pounds)

6013 @ $146 (60 pounds)

7018 @ $146 (60 pounds)

It's Putin's fault, just ask Joe! 😁

That what they are here. That’s not shopping around, but in general, they are high. Off brands may be cheaper.

Dats sum funny [bleep] right there !

Makes me glad we put a couple of elk in the freezer last year. Especially since I didn't draw schit this year.
