I just Got Back From The Grocery Store($4 For A Gallon of Milk)

Posted on 05/15/2011 5:13:18 PM PDT by Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!

The meats were like a bad joke gone bad. $7-10 for a small package of chicken breasts. I got enough food for a week and it was $107. The cashier lady told me some woman (when she noticed) milk at $4 a gallon asked if there was s milk shortage. Are people this stupid?

I am truly afraid for this country in so many ways and as the cashier lady said she told the ditz lady it will get far worse before it gets better. And the cashier was in her 20's and she figured this out- so there is some hope this age group knows to vote out Impeach Obama NOW!

We paid $5 bucks for a gallon of milk, and the same for a pound of butter.
Anyone else having trouble finding SALTED peanuts at Walmart? So glad the government is looking out for our health........

Sorry, not buying it. It’s nearly $4 a gallon here in Georgia where it’s typically a lagging state for inflation. I call BS on your $2.49 in California unless it’s a promotion to lure you in to other over priced items.

Got the milk at Food Lion. The cashier said the milk hike in price happened today. If I drove to the Piggly Wiggly or WalMart the money I would save; I would lose in gas. We are still at $3.85 a gallon for gas when other northern states are at $4.19 and climbing.

I’m paying almost that for milk, around $3.75. I get chicken for less, but I get the Really Large Package or hit the “use or freeze today!” sale. I got pork roasts for 75% off last week.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts were on sale at the grocery this am. I bought 10 lbs, grilled them and they will soon be in the freezer for easy meals over the next few weeks.

It is all connected to the high gas prices
 
Yes, that and the diversion of food to fuel, which causes less food (corn, grain) supply which causes higher prices for poultry and cattle feed...which all is traced back to the radical environmentalist agenda and the mythical man-caused global climate change.
 
All the hope and change I can stand!

Yeah, we’re spending approx. $125/week for food at the grocery store when we used to spend about $80-90/wk last year. Not to mention that we are trying to be more cost-conscious now. And let’s not forget the doubling of the gasoline price. But there’s no inflation, the goobermint told me so!

Hey OBAMA -- GET OUT OF SARAH'S HOUSE!

He's in Alaska? I assume you mean Palin.

Is he in some other Sarah's house?

Why would he be in somebody's house?

Why are you spreading the ultra-right wing hate speech? We all know that the unemployment rate is like 1.2% but some of you with you right-wing hate speech say no it’s really 18% and now you are here on this sight spreading this hate speech full of lies, there is no inflation, it’s price gouging at the store, yea that’s it price gouging.

End sarcasm

No it is the regular price when you buy two gallons, (I freeze one), even Albertsons is about $2.89 if you buy two.

Just think, however, that Harry Reid got reelected with all of these factors in play. The Dems will lie, steal, cheat and do anything to win. Will the GOP?

Now Walmart is carrying the Planters HealthNut packages — at about $6.50 for 7 little packages.

Highway robbery.

California milk prices are controlled by the state. Not a free market then again it is california.

I becha long-haul truckers are pushing $4,000 for fuel in the past month alone. The previous one, I have evidence it was $3,500.

And we’re not talking maintenance.

I pay $2.49 a gallon here in California.

I just paid $2.29 a gallon for 2% milk at Tom Thumb (local Safeway brand in parts of Texas). That's with the affinity card discount.

No, sadly, they won’t get it. They will hear the MSM who tells them that “greedy Republicans” are the reason for all the ills of the world. Sorry your in-laws are idiots.

Oh, and Republicans don’t help, so neither party cares, but to think one party or another is the reason is just stupid. Sorry Freepers, I’m a conservative, not a Republican. Seems the McCains and Grahams have proved that.

Be sure and let autumnraine know, she thinks that we are making up how much we pay for milk.
