They love to advertise something as being at the "everyday low price" of $10.99 when I and everyone else there remembers just a week ago when it cost $8.99.

My coffee doubled from 7something to 15+ last i looked. most of those things in the video i would not buy anyway. Chicken with bone in is about the cheapest meat. I get a brand of chips for 2.5$ a bag. Every thing has gone up a lot .

They have been consistently lower than everybody else and you pick your favorite beans and grind it in the store.

I also found some lower priced coffee at the local Fiesta Market; it was a Mexican brand and it was very good. If you have a Mexican supermarket in your area you may want to check there.

Has anyone investigated ALDI?

These videos should be part of all Dem campaigns for the next two elections at least.

6. If you have the time shop the marked down items. Our Giant sells meat 1/2 price when it nears the fresh date.

Usually it is the higner priced stuff but at half-price it is cheaper than the low quality. The ripoff items at check out that don't get sold end up 75% off. The instore bakery items that are expensive get marked to half. Being retired I have the time and after 45 years in business I understand a bit about money. Even if I want something I weigh if the price of an item is worth it. If not I don't buy it. Produce quality down, price up. Tariffs have fucked shopping for so many. The poor suffer more.

prices at the market have increased. Also, the quality of produce has decreased. I wonder why, not.

This is our fucking life now. People will have to work until they are 70 to be able to afford to retire- if then.

don't give a shit what happens. He grifted and has more money than people need in a lifetime. Plus the fact, he never cared from the beginning. It's always been about HIM.
