And then there is the issue of packaging getting smaller for the same or slightly higher prices. Shit is definitely more expensive than it was a year ago and so on and so on.

I’d suggest that if you’re talking about federal policy, you should be looking at national grocery prices. And those prices are up 1.26% over the past year - about half that of the Fed’s inflation target:

Attachment 503298

(And this data takes into account package sizes FWIW.)

You need to convert that the an image that you don't have to think about to communicate the truth to the unwashed masses.

If packages are getting smaller and prices are getting higher, why am I not getting skinnier?

My ski bro told the wife he thinks the new washing machine was shrinking his jeans

she told buddy the washer was not the appliance causing him fit issues

You all use the Safeway app? Saves a ton of money on individual items plus they often have an e-coupon for a set amount off your entire purchase.

If you have a Safeway where you live I suggests downloading the app.

Yes apps are certainly worth the time to sign up.

Wife had a fit at Safeway today. Clerk said to get the digital deal she had to have a pic of the digital deal sign AND the product. Wife went back and the digital deal sign was gone. Couldn't get the deal. Maybe cause she's old.

Reminds me of the time I threw a fit because my Ikon pass wasn't working--at Sugar Bowl (not Ikon resort).

Albertsons has a similar/same app. It can be good but it can also be incredibly frustrating at times.

Now that I am old as dirt I pay attention to the 1st Thursday of the month when Albertsons offers 10% off to seniors and I can stack another 10% coupon for my flu shot on top.

I thought the takeaway was: they let you do it a few times first before deciding to prosecute you

So does Kroger. Saves us a lot of time and money, esp. when the closest store (Rays, aka Rapes) has prices 30% higher than Kroger 20 miles down the road. And I paid $2.38/gal for RUG (10% ethanol) when picking stuff up yesterday due to $0.70/gal in purchase credits. It’s selling for $3.49 locally.
