It started to rain. The bus driver quickly pulled over and jumped out. He installed windshield wipers on the bus. The bus passengers noticed all the cars on the highway had pulled over to do the same thing.

Commies use starvation as a tactic - same with 'shortages'... make's 'em feel superior. Our white trash 'elites' would do the same if they thought they could get away with it.

Many jars of mayo are down from the usual 32 oz quart to 30 oz. It’s also being put into various sized and shaped jars and squeezables to confuse the customer even more. Always calculate the unit price yourself. Don’t trust what the store says the unit price is.

Hmm, and San Antonio is HEB’s headquarters. Scary.

I think it was Bar S brand that had the jalapeno franks hubby liked but they don’t list that product on their site. I was able to get 1 package a few months into the pandemic but that was it.

Just to pique your interest, here's a sous video lamb rack that I seared on the gas grille:

Sometimes with steaks, I get a huge blaze going on the BGE just to sear 46s-1m a side.

Back when we were remodeling, I made the bathroom shelves fit tp rolls exactly. Today, there are a couple inches of empty wasted space across and and inch above.

My Neutrogena face powder compact (now $13.00) had a powder puff which fit neatly into the bottom section of the compact.

They have raised their former price substantially, and, poof !......eliminated the powder puff.

Unfortunately, this powder puff was of a size and material impossible to locate anywhere. I bought some crappy ones at the Dollar Tree and cut them to size with a scissor.

Not the biggest deal in the world, of course, but just another small example of Big Business slyly sticking it to the consumer one-way-or-the-other, big or little, almost everywhere you look on the store shelves these days.

Most telling is bottled liquid products where the bottle looks almost the same, but the volume is less.

By the way.....take a powder, Neutrogena!

Small packages are much better than shortages that could cause panic...

Ever wonder why Biden’s commies wanted to give food stamp people the largest increase in 50 years? A number waaaaay past an inflation increase?

Commies hoped the shock to the food supply chains would cause them to collapse - causing panic buying and rationing. If you think threats against people not vaccinated are bad now - think what it’ll be like when commie scum is controlling scarce food supplies.

That is an interesting take...we are seeing more price increases than actual monetary inflation. Supply and demand factors for products, less for money albeit there is a little monetary inflation ...not much though.
