I guess I missed out on cereal. We had oatmeal once in a great while but no cereals. My father had to have his bacon and eggs daily and he ruled the roost.

Alarming Food Prices

This bothers me. Grocery stores have always said they operate at a low margin. Now I don't believe them. Regular price $6.99, but if you buy four they are only $2.50 and I'm sure they are making money selling them at $2.50 a box
I have a full size and a small Walmart, a super Kroger and a regular Kroger and an Aldis all selling groceries in a 26K city. I think there is plenty of money in the business. Years ago I stocked shelves at night trying to make extra money. The amount of waste definitely indicated to me that they were making way too much money.

I remember my mom buying generic puff rice cereal (the kind that came in the black and white bag) combined that with powder milk
. If I wanted a real breakfast I had to go school where they served oatmeal and pancakes
I was at the grocery store and saw some Keto bread and decided to try it. Got home and realized I should have checked the price. I discovered I paid $7.49 for a loaf of Keto bread 😆
My wife eats a keto bread. It has 4g net carbs. I have no idea the price and I'm not about to look.
Here's the keto bread I bought
No surprise here...

Laissez faire Capitalism does work. Local store by me Nathan Hot Dogs $6.49 are now $3.99 They don't expire until December 2024
My local Kroger store has pork shoulders on sale. At $0.99 a pound I picked up a good looking one Wednesday. My butcher buddy said he had three more cases ordered and he'd save a few choice butts for his buddies. I'll be buying a couple more when he gets them in. That's just too cheap and too good not to take advantage of the sale.
