You’re correct, it’s not a statement. It was a comment and a personal preference.

I thoroughly dislike Pepsi products. Oddly enough, I find that I also don’t particularly care for the food in establishments where Pepsi products are the only choice in the fountain.

I admit it’s difficult to pass up a rotisserie chicken. My local supermarket offers two different sizes, and the larger one is around $8. Being single and petite I get four dinners out of that.
Beats McD’s, and also beats turning my kitchen into a war zone.

“Speaking of gadgets like TV & Laptops & kitchen gadgets, they seem to last for ever these days. Walmart, eBay are places to snap up bargains for those.”

Bought a Surface 6 bundle on sale. Saved almost $200.

Wife just bought an Ipad pro at $150 off the Apple price.

Okay that is just stupid. Buy the executive membership and get a rebate percentage on what you spend. Buy your tires there and your car battery. Get your meat and butter and Keurig coffee. Toilet paper and dog food. Laundry detergent. You might not get a rebate big enough to cover the membership but it will be pretty close.

” the sizes of food items in Costco was too big for us.”

We freeze a lot. Lots of stuff is packaged into smaller sizes inside the big package.

Just the two of us. Walmart, Aldi’s for some veggies and Publix for their BOGO.

Our Costco is definitely a cut above the wm denizens.

Old data, but between 1969 to 2009 food costs dropped from 13.5% of disposable income to 9.5% of disposable income.

That’s a 30% reduction in only 40 years.

A lot of Freepers complain about food with a full mouth AND pocketbook.

Refuse to travel to Fake News, CNN; but will contribute the fact WalMart’s rotisserie chicken is an economical meal in itself and the chicken can be de-boned and the meat used in cooked chicken dishes: hot chicken salad, chicken sandwiches or tortillas, Mexican chicken, etc. WalMart now sells Popcorn Chicken which is delicious when eaten with Ranch Style Salad Dressing. A ‘big salad’ add Popcorn Chicken and Ranch Dressing to a bowl of salad makings and top with freshly prepared croutons: Ooh la la a fast and great meal.

I'll have to try a Costco chicken sometime. My experience is with Publix in Palm Beach on my monthly visits to help my my mother. I never look at the weight or what they charge. Publix has a variety of seasonings and they are all pretty good.
