I live outside Houston. Haven’t seen bacon for $3.49/pound for several months now. Every now and then one of the stores around here will have it on a loss leader special at $4.50 or $5.00 but it’s an “off brand”, real fatty, they don’t advertise it and it’s the new 12 ounce pound.
They did have the large containers of Folgers last week though for $4.50 and I bought four, which was the max you could get. Went back later in the day and tried to buy four more but it was rejected at the register as my “card history” said I had already purchased four that day. So went back the next day and it was back up to the $9.99 price.
Apply for a second card!
Address listed is off by a small amount or add apartment # that does not exist(#1A) and use cell phone for the phone #. Just reverse name or use initials, whatever works for you. Maiden name? Think about it! I use my name and daughters home address in another state?? Say you forgot it and ask to use the store card...cashiers do have one!
I always have 2 since I might have the wrong handbag!
“as my “card history” said I had already purchased four that day.”
That is the beginning of food rationing - “card history” will limit the regular food (not on sale) one can buy one of these days.
