I stop in at Harry's Market, a Whole Foods owned store in suburban Atlanta, now and then just for the free cheese and fruit samples. I figure that since Whole Foods owners are lefty liberals they must be in favor of welfare, and their cheese and fruit samples contribute a lot to my mental and physical welfare.
I do... along with tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, asparagus, lettuce, potatoes, blueberries, raspberries, etc.
99% of them are in APARTMENTS
Somebody needs a hug.:-(
Why are you buying soup with toilet paper in it?
The farmers market in my current neighborhood is a great source for heirloom tomatoes, zucchini and (my fave) white eggplant in season. Cheap too, compared to Wegmans, A&P, etc.
I figure that since Whole Foods owners are lefty liberals
Nope, the owners (STOCKHOLDERS) are CONSERVATIVES, too.
The libtards really are a bunch of clueless dumbasses.
Yep, these are the people who sanctimoniously told us up til now that we needed to pay what food _really_ costs.
This FReeptard has always stockpiled, always bought the markdown meat, froze it, ground it with venison for burger that ends up costing under $1/lb and tastes wonderful. I bake bread and whatever else we need with flour that is about 35 cents/pound. Bagels at Walmart cost $1.08 for 5 and that is up from .88 a few months ago. Butter: 6# for a bit over $7 at Sam’s; freeze til needed. Whole beef cuts at Sam’s, portion it ourselves. Soup from scratch, freeze in pint & quart containers. Citrus on sale, squeeze it ourselves and freeze the juice if it lasts that long. Eggs are coming down as it is Spring. Garden. Dry. Freeze.
TP by the bale, 24 rolls for less than double what the DUmmie is paying for 12 rolls. Using a chamois instead of paper towels and 50 cent flour bag dish towels that last forever.
Cold water clothes washing and put 2 towels in the dryer and set it to half the time. Wood heat we cut ourselves. Ford Focus for 35/mpg. Green bags and the cheap Reynolds vacuum gadget all help perishable food last longer. Reusable plastic *shower cap* type dish covers or sealable plastic for fridge/freezer/microwave. Rinse and reuse plastic bags/green bags. Sew. Knit. Refurbish. Repair. Build.
We pass along surplus to friends and get their surplus in return. I grind venison for others and get firewood in return. Farmer clients always bring eggs or other surplus when it is in season. I have hydroponic lettuce in my kitchen.
So, DUmmies, that is how we FReeptards do it. There is hope for change! Yes, you can!
Bwaahaaahaaa!!!
I was home last week and paid $21 for 4 items! A loaf of cinnamon raisin bread, a jar of folger's decaf coffee, a quart of stoneyfield farms plain yogurt and medium bottle of coffee creamer.
Uh, you need to go talk to Cheryl Crow. A 12 roll pack should last her at least one year, considering she only uses one sheet for each trip to the restroom.
YUCK - just thinking about that...
What is the name of the grocery chain this DUmmie is shopping at? I can find better prices at the corner Stop and Rob convenience store.
That'd make a good name for a retro rock group: Bush Inc and The Enablers. Kinda like Big Brother and the Holding Company.
Sam’s Club for me too.
We just dropped over 400.00 there. I’ll be grilling and freezing all afternoon.
The funny thing about all of this is while people complain about the cost of fresh veggies, frozen veggies and fruit have more nutrients if steamed (veggies) or defrosted naturally.
We did buy apples, cucumbers, oranges and bananas but basically, my kids eat frozen fruit and veggies. Nothing better than frozen strawberries on a hot day.
That 400.00 will feed us for a month. But it does take work to process all of it. It’s not McDonalds.
I miss Cuyahoga County!
>>a jar of folger’s decaf coffee<<
This idiot is buying coffee crystals! Instant coffee is a huge expense.
We used to use it when we camped. A jar is 10.00. If he invested in a 10.00 coffee maker from Big Lots, he could save big bucks. But that would be work to make that coffee.
Eggs were $1.37. Bread was $2.29 (I buy Wonder bread). Milk was on sale, 2 for $5. I spent $0.47 for 2 bananas and $2.59 for about a pound of green grapes. Broccoli was 2 bunches for $5.
I didn't clip coupons, plan my list around the store's sale or any other nonsense. I made a list of what I felt like cooking and went to my regular store.
On Sunday I ate at a Mother's Day buffet and it was like $17 which included the tip. Outrageous! But, I'm still counting on that $600 tax rebate that BushCo promised so I'm not planning on rioting just yet.
What offends me is the cashier selling that canteloupe who doesn’t speak English.
