Depends on what they've been eating. If they've been eating berries, not bad at all, just greasy but that's ok when you need fats in the diet. If they've been eating fish, save it for last when everyone is near starving.

That is a fantastic reminder! I hadn’t thought of this! I totally haul those tires to my property. They’re in good condition. Dry rot is a concern, correct?
Maybe some thread drift here
Firewood prices have really increased in the south central Missouri Ozarks the past couple of years. Two years ago, you could pick up well-seasoned, split firewood at < $125 a cord.
Now, it's $225 - $250 a cord depending on how close to Springfield someone is. Out where I'm at, it's still $225 and that's not delivered and stacked, either.

I bought some mystery meat the other day, 1 pound chubs of Smithtown Brand mild pork sausage. At .99 each, right now they are just filling the air spaces in the freezer. I think that they will be made into little meatballs, and go into initially meatless veggie soups.

I give up.
Wonder what this will do to your prices, you guys who shop there:

Alaska cancels snow crab season, threatening key economic driver
Scientists are still evaluating the cause or causes of the snow crab collapse after a stretch of record-breaking warmth in Bering Sea waters spiked in 2019.

For the first time, crews in Alaska won’t be braving ice and sea spray to pluck snow crab from the Bering Sea.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game canceled the snow crab season earlier this week after a catastrophic population crash of the sizable crustaceans. The red king crab season was canceled for the second year in a row, making it a two-pronged disaster for Alaska’s economy and for those whose livelihoods rely on crab.
“It’s going to be life-changing, if not career-ending, for people,” said Dean Gribble Sr., a 63-year-old crab boat captain who has fished for “opies” — snow crab — since the late 1970s. “A lot of these guys with families and kids, there’s no option other than getting out. That’s where the hammer is going to fall — on the crew.”
Alaskan ecosystems — which are warming faster than other regions because of their proximity to the North Pole — have been roiled by marine heat waves and other impacts made more likely by climate change.
Scientists are still evaluating the cause or causes of the snow crab collapse, but it follows a stretch of record-breaking warmth in Bering Sea waters that spiked in 2019. Miranda Westphal, an area management biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said the warmer waters likely contributed to young crabs’ starvation and the stock’s decline.

Officials hope a halt to this year’s crab harvest will boost both species. At this point, little more can be done.
“We’re along for the ride. It’s hard to predict or pretend we could have influences on a stock that is subject to Mother Nature and climate change,” Westphal said. “They need time and space and favorable conditions to rebuild.”
The snow crab collapse came as a surprise. Each season, commercial trawlers complete surveys that estimate species abundance and assess stock. The National Marine Fisheries Service and Alaska Department of Fish and Game co-manage the crab fisheries.

If a billion snow crabs went missing..... it would be MUCH worse than $200 million damage to the economy......
By the way.....Kroger is expensive enough......

I absolutely agree that coconut oil has its place on our shelves
It's fantastic to cook with and it's incredibly useful outside of the kitchen as well.I wish I could get prices like yours! A 29oz jar around here is $10.89. Color me jealous!

We're going to do a stuffed/rolled pork loin roast for thanksgiving this year. Might do homemade tamales for christmas.

Just ordered online a six pack of Libby corn for .98 a can. Free delivery with Walmart plus.
As everyone else has noted prices are up, some way up. Inflation just keeps grinding up.
Attempting to stock up but seems like a losing battle.

When I was single and celebrating the holidays alone I'd buy a "turkey breast loin" from Cub Foods. It's about a third of a turkey breast I think. At that time, pre 2001, it was difficult finding cornish hens here, now all of the stores sell them in the frozen section.

Without Russian natural gas there are going to be some very cold people this winter.

Scuttlebutt is the chinese came in and poached them off season, as they have been doing for decades.

Where did you find yours? I haven't seen any here locally since Cub Foods closed.
Pork sausage goes really good as part of the meat in chili.

For years I would cook a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. No one cared for the dark meat and it would go to waste, they would not eat turkey soup either. so then I went to turkey breast. And now DH and I pretty much don't eat turkey at all. Not sure what I'll cook, we don't really do anything for holidays except be thankful for our many blessings. Maybe we'll even eat at the table, as long as I manage to get it cleaned off.

The lone Albertsons here in College Station closed several years ago, but it was the most expensive place to buy groceries, followed by Kroger (there are still two Kroger stores here). H-E-B is my first choice for everything, followed by WalMart for non-perishables only. I can't remember the last time I shopped at Kroger.

Our only Albertsons went out of business and our second Kroger store took its place a few years ago. Kroger is the most expensive place to buy groceries, and I never shop there. Walmart, Aldi's, and Food Giant for regular groceries, and Sam's for bulk items for storage. Tupelo, MS.

I forgot to list Sam's (how'd that happen?!). We get a variety of items from there, sometimes produce, sometimes meat, but other things as well.

That pic pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
I remember when I was newly married in the 70s I could get a good variety of grocery store items (food, including meat; health & beauty stuff; paper & cleaning stuff, etc) for an average $10 per overflowing paper bag.

That’s where I think they disappeared to.
The Asian countries, especially China are notorious for these type of poaching habits. V

We shop at Krogers but we are cherry pickers, only going for the loss leaders or a few items we can only get there. For instance right now the cheapest place for us to get 30 oz. Miracle Whip is Kroger with sale they’re having it‘s $3.49, at Sam’s for the same size jar it comes out to $4.07, and Aldi was over $5.**. We usually buy the gallon jug at Sam’s for $11.48 but they don’t have it in stock in the store or for shipping. It definitely pays to shop a few different places and try to keep up with pricing for sure!

they've raped the ocean waters off of Newfoundland of it's cod, lobsters, etc., so their doing this to the alaskan waters doesn't surprise me in the least.

Up thread was a mention of chuck roasts on sale.
I just went after work to Kroger and got two big ones for the freezer. I’d love to go back for more tomorrow.
I still may.
But I’ve got to balance my dollars on other things too.
I also found some Tyson chicken on sale, or wasn’t that great of a sale but I’ll take it.
