Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just got back from buying groceries. Sticker shock in seeing items increase in a week from. 38 cents to 79 cents more. Seen some steaks that looked good but at 24 and 27 Dollars, nope. This week we didn't buy everything we usually buy, and they were out of many things, yet our total was 23.72 higher then every total before. Since we use Credit Card, wife looked at our book were we note all our receipts, yes, this week is the highest since September of last year and we were buying New York Strip steaks back then. Stopped at Sam's to fill up, 97.51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich politicians don't care about how much anything costs just so long as they retain power and have a steady income...Let them eat grass...

Pat Riot Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 1. This is the Utopia Antifa and a certain political party now in power wanted. OR 2. This is what the corporations wanted so the government looks bad. OR 3. This is what the losing party wanted so the party in power looks bad so they will get voted out next election. Take your pick. It seems to depend on who you talk to. Me? I will go with 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stepson has gone into residential care. The wife and I are currently spending more for the two of us than we did when Brandon lived with us. And he was a big eater. Put gas in my Harley and my Miata MX-5. It was $60 for just over 11 gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I usually take a small Jayco trailer to weekend shoots, leaving on Friday afternoon, but now, with diesel at around six bucks a gallon, I toss a sleeping bag in my car and either get permission to sleep in one of the range buildings or fold the seats down in my car and sleep there. F350 PSD gets 12 mpg or less, even with the little 14'er behind it, and my Honda Fit gets 40-42 mpg. $118 or so for diesel for a 240 mile round trip vs. $28 or so for gas - ninety dollar savings every trip, and I normally do this three weekends a month = $270 savings every month.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 We can go a good long way in correcting this, this coming November, and again in 2024. Every time I go to the gas station, or the grocery store, I just get madder and madder, all over again. That's a good thing. It keeps me motivated to vote this coming November. As a popular t.v. economist says, most every time he is on the air: "The Cavalry Is Coming". When we reach the end of the rope, we just have to tie a knot in it, and hang on.

I eat more hotdogs than real food these days. I remember when a 20 filled my truck's tank. This morning 20 got me about 4 gallons. Thanks, Brandon.

Really feels like the voting thing is a sham. Just a feel good measure for the peasants to think they have a say so they won't over throw the ruling class. I have my doubts voting is real or that it really ever was. How would we know if the ruling rich class just picked who they wanted and not the votes? Prove me wrong. 3 minutes ago, Dantankerous said: Yeah, but at least there are no more mean tweets now. Thats because the current one thinks a tweet is what a bird does.

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Local News had a piece on Independent truckers short and long haul that are turning down trips especially if they have to return empty because of Diesel Fuel cost and barely meeting costs afterwards on maintenance and insurance premiums, besides trying to make a living.

Rip Snorter Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just paid for a side of beef from a rancher friend, the whole averaged out $3.25 a pound processed. Both freezers packed solid, and plenty to send home with the kids when they visit. I haven't bought beef from a grocery or butcher shop in years. It is a big check to write, at least for me, but worth it! Anyone who lives in a rural or semi rural area can probably find a similar opportunity.

Gracos Kid Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Northeast Georgia is supposedly the "Poultry Capital of the World", due to the large numbers of farms and processing plants. For three weekends consecutively there was no chicken in the meat counter recently. Now, there is but 4 boneless chicken breasts are ranging from $14 to $16 before tax. Guess we may have to start considering all of Earl's (Bob's pet) cousins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Don't know about anyone else, but as a young man I shot and ate tree rats. Three different recipes from current hunting magazines of the day, the best barely edible, and I've always been a decent cook. You'd need to be HUNGRY!

Ate many a squirrel fried in a cast iron skillet, then make brown gravy out of the grease drippings smother and make cat head bisquits to sop it all up with. Mmm Mmmmm man is that good. Only thing better is the small critter list is rabbit cooked the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
