Just buy electric food...
The chicken rack at Aldi is often 2/3 empty and curtained off, the rest is sparse. Meat including pork and beef is sparse.
Precisely! The root cause of all inflation woes is Biden jacking around with energy. The rat bastard.
Of course, he’s just the front carcass for the real perpetrators.

We live in Bread Co central. They pulled the asking for a tip thing on us in the drive through a couple years ago. I already was thinking about hating them and that did it.
Panera’s is an arrogant shithole for fools with too much fiat in their “bank.” Way too big for their sissy britches. Avoid.

I keep all of mine in the freezer except the current stick. I try to remember to get more out when I know I'm going to bake, or when the current stick is down to an inch or so. In a pinch, there's always the box grater for enough frozen butter to go in a recipe.

Corn lickah is going way down. ( sarc.)
Looking forward to getting regularly pickled.( double sarc.)
Butter keeps for a really long time.
