It makes me sick to my stomach, what you said, “...We can take a loss on ‘spoilage’ but not for reduction of price”.

So..........people can go hungry and they throw the food out, take a ‘loss’ - which is better than marking it down, where it could be consumed..........

Perhaps it is time to swamp those ‘corporate headquarters’ with emails, letters, phone calls, and pass the word around on “TWITTER” and “FACE BOOK”!

The Mgr. at Wal-Mart told me they are starting to carry dehydrated food, because people are starting to get scared about what could be coming.

When I saw the hundreds of green peppers stacked up neatly, in my local grocery store, without a dent in the pile, I knew people weren’t buying them - and that should tell ‘corporate’ that those prices will not set well with the customers - and they should take steps to meet the public’s demand - not the cost/lost effect.

It’s ALWAYS about money - isn’t it?

Of course. That's actually what business is all about. Who can make money. We could all be starving however...when they don't have the customers maybe, just maybe, they will lower their prices. Then again, maybe not.

I'm getting curious about the dehydrated things you were talking about. I do things like garlic and onions so let us know how it goes and if it's worth the money.
