I love that tomato bisque soup. I've tried other cheaper brands and they are not nearly as tasty.I ordered a case of Amy's tomato bisque soup low in sodium this morning on Amazon. Down to one can. I was surprised they had it. 28 bucks. I like to mix it with a can of Wolfgang Puck bisque.
Have 2- 2 lbs of white organic grits being delivered today also.
Used Vita Cost's 20 % off to splurge on some moisturizers, macaroons, chips and pepperocini.
The store adds seem to have some good buys. Unfortunately, I can't take advantage of them. I still think CA's prices are way higher than some of you are paying.
Same here. Everything but Jimmy Dean Sausage biscuits. I probably could find them if I was able to go in person to different stores. I'm going to make my own after I figure out how to make a larger flatter biscuit. Mine get too tall.thinking back. over the last year, I cant think of anything that I couldnt find, I mean as in no where at all. I may have to go to a couple of stores, or order online, but I have been able to find everything I need,
and that includes gun parts and special tooling for my lathes and milling machine, have even found some deals on things. but I already have almost anything I would need, and kids are grown and on there own. so im just buyin for me,

No you are not. Instacart is a lot higher than in store. I noticed the other day that Walmart on my list of stores says " In store prices". They are the only store that says that. Trouble with them though is they are usually out of more items.Haven't been to the grocery store for two weeks. Still don't need to go unless I want milk and broccoli.
The instant/powdered milk thread got me wanting some chocolate breakfast drink for some reason.
Figured I'd place a small instacart order seeing as I've got free membership until springtime. Put the breakfast drink, milk, veggies, several other items that would take me for a couple weeks longer.
Ended up not placing the order.
Prices were noticeably higher than my last order. And I'm not just talking the small instacart markup on some items. All the items were significantly more expensive than in store. Of the 10 items I'd guess it was $14-$16 more expensive than in store. $6+ was gratuity. And I could justify paying a little extra for convenience, but this just felt over priced.
Guess I'm just cheap and/or poor!
You are getting good buys on meat. They are charging more here in CA.We got a Aldi delivery yesterday 45 items ordered, received all but one thing and it was a package of chips. Walmart pickup order today for $158.00 also 45 items, no shorts. Lettuce $1.78 per head,
Sara Lee Honey Wheat Bread $2.78, Great Value Fat free milk $3.69/gal, and Tostitos Cheese Con Queso $4.48/15oz jar. Last weeks Walmart pickup order was for 76 items with only 3 shorted. North central Oklahoma.
Also this week went to a local small packing/meat market in a near by town and bought 91/9 ground beef vacuum packed and frozen bag for $5.41/pound, fresh ground bulk packed 91/9 ground beef for $4.91/pound and we got out monthly sirloin 1 1/2 inch cut for 7.25/pound. The sirloin was extra nice and trimmed with little fat. The ground beef has been the same price for almost a year.
Went to local Drug Mart today to pick up a head of lettuce. Monday it was .99 today 1.78.
I was at BJ’s yesterday and wanted to get oxtail along with a few other things. The oxtail, which I did not get, was $10.99/lb!
If you need it, you better have it on hand in quantities to last for a very long time. We've got everything for making bread--all different kinds--for years, including the bags.Oh before I forget Zero Hedge had an interesting piece on the supply chain. Did any of you see it? About all the things that go into making a loaf of bread and getting it delivered. Insanity at its best. Everything from growing wheat to plastic bag ad infinitum.
I raised all the cats I had on cheap cat food, so they would eat anything. They lived long and healthy lives and died of old age. They very rarely had a vet visit. Same with my dogs.Chewy was out of Friskies Shreds Chicken this weekend so placed an order at Pets Warehouse. Anyway they sent an email this morning saying it was backorder.
I went back to Chewy and it is back in stock with another price increase. 15.50 now. Still out of stock on Fancy Feast.
I cancelled the other order but for crying out loud.

Rib eye is 11.00 a pound and Hams are plentiful and cheap just north of California. Spiral sliced 2.48. Bone in 1.68.You are getting good buys on meat. They are charging more here in CA.
Just yesterday talked to my ranching buddy that we get our beef and pork from. Prices for hay jumped from $9/bale to $16/bale in one year....if you can find it. Starter calves prices jumped to $600 and feeder pigs jumped from $40 last year to $200. I image feed prices are headed up as well.
For folks are probably not aware of that 400,000 acre fire in Kansas recently. A lot of ranches and livestock got wiped out, so I'd expect beef prices will go through the roof as a result.
If you live anywhere that still has small holdings, family farms and community supported agriculture better get busy and support them. They may be your only reliable source here pretty soon. I'm already got my order in for beef and pork and have added chickens, duck and quail as well.
BTW.....are Peacocks any good, other than to look at? My ranching buddy just expanded his property and the previous owner left behind a SHITTE-TON of peacocks that are making a mess of everything and somehow seem to avoid the coyotes. He'd like to get rid of them as they are a pain.....are they any good grilled?
Thank you! I’m still hoping to find a box because I put in a lot of hours at work over the weekend and still have some prep to do for Christmas. I chose this recipe because it’s really easy. But I bet they’d be really good with homemade cookies! I’ll save the recipe for the next time I decide to make them.Homemade Nilla Wafers
Homemade Nilla Wafers
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients separately (and yes, that is baking powder and not baking soda), and then add to creamed ingredients and mix well. If you want true Nilla Wafer size cookies, roll about a teaspoon (like measuring spoon teaspoon size) of dough into a ball and flatten it with your fingers. The cookies will spread quite a bit, so place them about two inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
(Cookie evaluation: These are kinda plain little cookies--no chips, no nuts, no spices or frosting. But apparently they were sufficiently tasty. At any rate, they're way better than I remember those Nilla Wafer-hockey pucks tasting. I forgot to set any aside for garnishing the top of the pie. Oops.)

The move is a reaction to the widespread use of cages known as gestation crates that constrict the animals’ movement.
