One has to look for the sales and the buy one get one free items help out too.



We are being hit hard with high food prices and also gas prices here in Florida is $3.29 for regular. I am looking at sale weekly ads on line at supermarkets to check what they are offering on items at a good price.


I also bought Oscar Mayer Bacon , buy 2 for $8 offered at my local Walgreen. In the supermarkets it is going for also $10 for one package.


Biden is stealing from us now and I am fighting back the best way I know. Shop smart.

I talk to some my liberal relatives and ask them do you regret voting for Biden. The answer is always “NO”.

I say don’t you feel the pinch in your wallet. They don’t say anything. They don’t care. They’re like Biden zombies...it’s unbelievable!
If you're shopping the gourmet market at a farm, they are going to charge through the nose regardless. Much if the current pricing is due to Covid shortages that would have occurred under any President. And some of it is related to the people who were teased for having McJobs finding better sources of income when labor hit a premium. Also get used to higher fruit/vegetable costs when we withhold foreign labor. We'll find out just how much people value 'American's first' when they realize American workers typically will not relocate and will not do much of the dirty work that affords the lifestyles that would be considered cushy in most of the world.

"This past Weekend I Almost Dropped A $100 Bucks For Two Pies, 4 Muffins, and A cup of Coffee".


What kind of pies are we talking about here? For that $$, I'm guessing they're from the red light district.

I think it's a combination of brainwashing via the MSM Biden propaganda machine, but also a 'doubling down' for the "Not Trump At All Costs" mentality.

Dems *have to* double down on their vote for Biden - they are backed into a corner because any wavering of their support would imply.....gasp....Orange Man Better.

Did you read the rest of it.. gas is $3.29 . When Trump was in office it was 2.09. Also many items I have to buy are higher because trucking product is more expensive. I guess you don't understand cause and effect at all. Biden halted drilling and stopped the pipeline.. of course Russia gets the ok because Biden's build back better is only for China and Russia.

Maybe we have become a little spoiled?

I can't feel too sorry when luxury items are expensive. It is the necessities like gas and basic grocery items that is really problematic.

Maybe we keep our eyes out for sales like our moms used to do, budgeting, meal planning, etc. Keep the thermostat down and wear sweaters, etc. I remember gas lines, odd and even days and people didn't freak out. This isn't the first rodeo with inflation. Sorry about the fancy pie.

Not that this president doesn't have to go, just like one term Carter did. We need someone to right the ship.

Everyone else? Pscht, who cares.
I've got one better than that. I heard someone say, "People should ride bicycles more". First thing I thought when I heard that was 3rd world....China perhaps. I also heard this, a spin on a popular commercial....."Joe Biden, the quicker F---ker upper.
