Very good - but ice cold Barqs (New Orleans favorite) was always better!A&W root beer, back in the late 60s, made with cane sugar. It was served in a frosted (that's iced) glass mug.
Soon later, they went to cardboard containers and corn syrup. Yuk.
As I am preparing my weekly Walmart delivery grocery list here is an observation...
they will NOT deliver any stewed tomatoes. Doesn't matter what brand or size.
But the third party SCALPERS on Walmart will ship to me for $13.98 EACH can and $16.99 delivery fee!
I'm not feeling too good about what may happen in the next few weeks.
The current Barqs is crap. I never tried one with real sugar, so I can't compare. A&W and Mountain Dew did some "throwback" (real sugar) versions several years ago, but was likely discontinued due to higher costs and little demand.Very good - but ice cold Barqs (New Orleans favorite) was always better!
Trying for local delivery. Weird. I can get diced tomatoes with local delivery, but not stewed tomatoes. So I ended up ordering a case from Amazon for an acceptable price with my prime delivery.I just checked in my area, they show them in stock, for pickup or local delivery, no shipping available though. They do tend to do that on staples, just try to get canned beans delivered.
Were you trying for shipping or local delivery?

NOTHING was better than 60s A&W root beer. Even the bees and yellow jackets agreed, if someone happened to spill some.They even used more syrup/flavoring than they do today.
Available from Amazon!Try buying succatash.
nobody sells it anymore.
I remember eating that growing up. They don't sell much for vegetables anymore. Used to be you could get canned okra, too. I haven't seen that for I don't know how long.Try buying succatash.

I got several cans a year or so ago but its not very good.WalMart once sold Margaret Holmes triple succotash. I haven't noticed whether it's been in stock since covid.

That wasn’t what killed it. The federal government forbade them from making their root beer with live yeast, which they’d done since the beginning. It was never the same after.A&W root beer, back in the late 60s, made with cane sugar. It was served in a frosted (that's iced) glass mug.

Even the prepackaged stuff is expensive.Was at the deli counter, looking for my half pound of sliced meat. Most deli meat is now FIFTEEN DOLLARS A POUND, up from $10 a few months ago. Who can afford that?
I just got several at my grocery store. The kitty gets a can every so often to break the monotony of his premium dry food. I couldn't find a gallon jug of apple juice at the store today, settled for orange juice.Well everyday I check Chewy for Fancy Feast and they are still saying temporarily unavailable. Also the large plastic containers of Florida Natural Orange Juice are suddenly unavailable. Probably due to container shortages? They have the cartons.

What the hell does one do with chicken feet?Fulton missouri, today wally world was completely out of fresh chicken. I mean wiped clean. Pork was half stocked beef cooler had shrunk in size to feature more pre made stuff. (OK, I might be over exaggerate on wiped clean. There were some gizzards and of all things, I swear there were chicken feet for sale.)

Not to mention that poor octopus has a higher IQ and better social skills than the average Democrat.My Safeway here had their usual octopus in the seafood display. I give it the evil eye cause it's so gross looking. Over a weeks time the thing becomes a shadow of it's former self as the legs get hacked off and sold. I don't care how hungry I might be, but I am NOT eating something with suckers on it's legs. Yeesh!
Chicken feet are to add collagen to bone broth. You take them out & throw the away after.What the hell does one do with chicken feet?

Perhaps the ease of such can justify the economics for a single person, but you're paying a lot for the convenience for either. Not busting your chops at all, but the most basic stuff that requires real "cooking" is the most economical. Based upon circumstances, of course. Wasted food is not economical.One thing I just realized I was doing (odd that it took this long) was eating frozen entrees almost exclusively. They’re balanced little meals of just about the right size, but they’ve all gone up about a dollar in price EACH. I was on autopilot WRT getting them. But I just got some hamburger and tuna, and a few of the “helper” boxed meals. Lots more food for less money. I’m kicking myself for not realizing it sooner.
I was thinking a necklace maybe? is that warped?I was imagining some wag with them that was doing a little chicken foot dance routine.... Ewwwwww! Yeah, I know, I'm warped.....
That $10 (on sale) pork loin could feed one for 6+ meals. Admittedly, one needs creativity to avoid burnout. My wife gets sick of pork and chicken, but because of gout I must limit red meat.Perhaps the ease of such can justify the economics for a single person, but you're paying a lot for the convenience for either.

I catch pork loins at Kroger for $1.49/lb. A $10(ish) loin will feed two of us for three meals. Add veggies, etc, and it works out to about $4-5 bucks for a meal for two. I just picked up two pork butts last Sunday for $0.99/lb, cooked and pulled it for two fully-packed gallon bags of pulled pork, one for the freezer.
Next time Kroger has pork loins at $1.49, I'm buying 5-6 for pressure canning.
