Try buying Gatorade, toilet paper, paper towels, some meat (beef shoulder, pork butt, for example - and don’t get me started on the price of brisket).
Have to accept what they have, otherwise get nothing.
Tell me. We decided to smoke a brisket for the 4th of July and it took the better part of $100. If I'd been the one making the grocery run that day, we would have had hot dogs.
