I dunno Bloo... I live in a not-at-all expensive cost of living area and I can't get prices anywhere near that.

Five kilograms of chicken for three bucks? Loaves of bread at 33c each? Pasta sauce, a dollar?

How many years ago was this trip?


I beatcha on blackberries though. They grow wild here. I can't even eat 'em all.

 

[Moonglow]

You White-privileged bastard.

Feast your eyes...

 

[Mr. H.]

White privileged as well as the negroid persuasion both pay visit to the Piggly Wiggly.

No, they pay homage.

Bow your asses down, regardless of color, to the Piggly Wiggly.

 

[Moonglow]

We had Safewheys......and Scabbs, there wasn't very many back then either....just one...after they opened up a mega super grocery store, Scabbs went away....

[BlueGin]

Albertson's was initially called Skaggs.

You skagg.

Seriously though, I agree smart shopping takes time and effort but can bear fruitful results.

Yes. I agree. Always stock up on meat. Good days to go are late Saturday night/ early Sunday. That's usually when they mark it down.

Bow your asses down, regardless of color, to the Piggly Wiggly.

We had them here when I was little. Not anymore though

They had Osmonds color books and bubble gum cards there.

 

[Pogo]

make your own bread....I do...

I don't do bread any more but when I did I hadn't seen edible bread for 33 cents since ... not sure, the Fifties?

I watch for those markdowns like a hawk. Like a hawk I tellya. Cheapest I can get chicken breasts on major markdown would be about $1.75 a pound. Normally more like four bucks.

Before Carter it was around .29 cents in Okiehoma, but it's a large wheat producing state..

 

[Hossfly]

MacDonalds has cheap meals.

Again here in cheekin' country it goes for .99 cents a pound, but then a gain we have two chicken plants in the area...
