Due to my New Years resolution, today is the last day that I can mention it...there are recipes out there that add mayonnaise to the other two ingredients. I think I'll try both versions, in a side-by-side comparison.

I am glad my chickens don’t know how valuable their eggs are getting…
They would soon be demanding central air and heat in their coop, and watermelon for dessert every other Sunday, if they were to figure out just how valuable their eggs are getting…
Can you picture it?
The entire flock of laying hens, walking the picket line, demanding better working conditions…

1 pound bag of dry beans $2.99, near Roanoke, VA.

Maybe our expectations of 'turn out right' can be adjusted to think that whatever I ended up with is good enough and will feed me. Plus, practice really does help us to get it right.
A flat bread cooked on a skillet is a staple food in many places around the world. I have made it with just flour, water, and a pinch of salt. You can put spices in it and butter or oil on it too.
It is possible to boil wheat berries or whole dried corn until it gets soft enough to eat. It could work in a soup pot with some veggies and such.
I have a different reason for not thinking about mayo next year: I'm sensitive to eggs, 
I've been eating it anyway as well as other things, and I have to stop: joint pain, fatigue, acid reflux, blah blah....Anyway, my point is...personally I prefer onion dip with *only* sour cream. However ranch dip is really good with combos of sour cream/mayo/yogurt/milk or heavy cream.
I make my own onion dip with sour cream (my favorite is Daisy), dried onion flakes, granulated onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Yum!

Some lima beans are now well over $3 a pound. Pintos, yellow split peas and green split peas are the only legumes, here (western MA), still under $1 a pound, for now. Most dry beans are about $1.50 a pound.

I've had bread not raise right and weigh a ton. Still made better tasting toast than anything in the store. Also I'm not artistic so some leave a lot to desire looks wise. Trust me it plain doesn't matter.

I just bought new carton of Daisy sour cream (it was on sale lol!) ….I could make this dip, today !
But no chips in the horse,

Don't screw with an engineer
I too have noticed limas are more expensive. Kroger has various frozen veggies at $1.25 per bag (was $1.00 a couple of months ago), but limas are $1.69. Not a deal-breaker for us, but 25% increase since October-ish. I expect further increases.

They put so many preservatives in most dips these days, making it yourself is SO much better. Even just using a store bought mix is better than premade.
That's about what I pay for cage free on Instacart.

Yep, they’ve all gone up here too at our Kroger (Indiana)
We go through SO MANY frozen veg at my house, so it really does add up.

Why would anyone buy cage free eggs? Conditions are often crueler, with even more overcrowding, less sanitary, etc...
Cage free is not free range.

Cage free is one of those things that sounds good, but can be exploited by companies that only care about profits. There are some that treat their chickens better than others, but it's not something that can be readily found out. Almost all chicken and egg producers cannot have public visitations, for bird health reasons.

We do the best we can with the information we have at the time. I used to buy organic free range eggs when I had to buy eggs. DH has many chickens, so now I have all that I need. Costs him more that $150 a month to feed all this many chickens that he has. So I guess we are paying a lot for our eggs. some of the corn in this price is also going to the goats as a treat and to the one feral pig that we still have.

Land O Lakes butter 1 lb $8.99. I bought the generic store brand for $5.99. I had someone pick up a loaf of rye bread down town for me as my truck is in for repair and the local store has crap for bread. Ended up with a small loaf of rye pumpernickel for $8.99 / $6.99 with store discount card. That's like .75 cents a slice.
