drowning under the crushing weight of inflation? NPR has 10 tips and tricks on how to save on your grocery bill (A)

• Stay close to home
• Check your receipt
• Ask about senior discounts
• Cook with whole turkey and chicken
• Buy inexpensive cuts of meat
• Process your own food
• Get a little help from AI
• Make your own bread
• Flip the script (and cook creatively) [plan your menu based on what's on sale]
• Grow your own herbs and veggies

tl;dr: live like it's the great depression

A mix of good and bad advice here, plus most folks feeling the pinch aren’t over-65 so that one doesn’t help.

Stay Close To Home translates to Burn Less Gasoline which is a guaranteed money saver.

Check Your Receipt, I guess is OK, but for real if you’re pinching your pennies correctly you’ll know of the amount at the register is off before you pay.

Cook with whole chicken/turkey. This is good advice. Whole chicken is less than $1 per lb when on sale. I’ve seen it as low as $0.89 per lb. It’s not hard at all to break down a whole chicken and you can always boil the bones/scraps for chicken stock/schmaltz

Buy Inexpensive Cuts Of Meat. No shit. 73%/27% ground beef is $5 a fucking lb. You just advised something along these lines in the last tip about whole chicken. Extrapolated out, this ought to read Buy Markdown Meats And Store In Deep Freezer.

Process Your Own Foods. Absofuckinglutely. Buy Pork Shoulder for $0.98, season it for Pennie’s, then grind/case it up and you’ve got $3-$6 per lb of sausage. Why stop there? Grow your own cucumbers for pickles. Get a few chickens and have all the eggs you can eat. This ought to just say Learn How To Do/Make It Yourself

Fuck AI. AI can’t grill a burger or a steak like I can.

Make Your Own Bread. No Shit. Learn to do/make it yourself. Bonus points for starting your own sourdough. No money spent at the store on yeast. Also be sure to check those grocery ads for sales on baking staples like flour/sugar/salt and stock up.

Plan Your Meals Based On What’s On Sale That Week. BAD ADVICE. The worst advice there is. The kind of advice that negates all the other advice.

The grocery store, ALL grocery stores, use psychology in an effort to extract from you the maximum amount of money possible each time you shop. One way they do this is with the “Loss Leader” sale. If you check the ads each week, or if you go to the store and look at the signs , you’ll see exactly what the Loss Leaders are that week. Something like “T-Bone Steaks $4.99 per lb!”. Folks see that and say “Man! T-Bones are on sale! I know what we’re having this weekend!”. So they go to the store, get the cheap T-Bones, and then pay an above average price that week for all the items that go along with T-Bones on the grill like baked potatoes, ears of corn, beers, cokes, etc. They’ll most likely do all their shopping for the whole week at that store just for that one meal they have planned around that one item and end up spending way more than they would have anywhere else and they won’t even know it.

What you do is take a look at all the weekly ads for all the stores the night before, (yes, they let you preview them the night before online). Then you map out where the stores are and you figure out when you’ll be passing by each during the week so as to not waste gas driving around in circles. When you pass a store, go in and buy ONLY the loss leaders for that week plus any other items you need that you KNOW are cheapest at that particular store and the more you do this the more you’ll know about what’s cheapest where. One store is always cheapest on dairy while another is always cheapest on produce and one always has the best markdown meat deals and so on and so forth. Buy the max on the loss leaders and pack that in your deep freezer until it’s full and then it’s just replace what you use. Make sure to date everything to use oldest first and keep it all good.

Grow Your Own Veggies. Goes back to the prior tips about Do It Yourself. Basically, Do/Grow/Make It Yourself and Shop Around is what you need to do.

Are they seriously going to try to use COVID as an excuse to lock things down so they can stuff the ballot boxes again?

I want to say that people won't fall for that shit twice, but this is Clown World, and there are a lot of niggercattle about.

IDF statement:

According to the IDF, during operations near the town of Beita close to Nablus, troops opened fire at a “main instigator” who was hurling stones at the forces and had “posed a threat.”

She was in a combat zone throwing rocks at IDF soldiers. What the fuck did she think was going to happen?

NPR giving out the same advice that got me labeled a conspiracy theorist white nationalist prepper weirdo
Guess what, the people that already do this are still barely scraping by

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

You're getting edgy
You wanna start
The time has finally come
But you realize when the targets shoot back
That it isn't so much fun

God never told you in visions
That it would be like this
You're gagging on the stench of death
You're breathing in poison mist

Love how no one questions what the fuck was the point of the vaccines and boosters if they are still going to close shit down like this. There is cattle and then there is just amoebas.

Have any of you ever had rocks thrown at you? It's not like they're picking up little pebbles and giving them gentle underhanded throws. A fist-sized rock hurled at your head can do serious damage.

Can confirm: Young me got hit in the back of the head with a rock and I still don't know how I managed to walk away without being messed up from it.

we have to get elected even if it means compromise.

The sad part is nobody wants to compromise anymore. The newer generation of politicians are so hyper-partisan that: (1) they see compromise as a bad thing to be avoided, and (2) they're driving away the moderate politicians who had successful political careers because they and their peers were more willing to work across the aisle when it was the reasonable thing to do. Even if the politicians dislike to compromise, Trump at least understands the importance of negotiating/compromise even if other politicians don't and won't.

Maybe they were hoping to accomplish this without actually jailing him, and just use the threat of him facing jail, along with his new ‘CONVICTED FELON’ status, to tarnish his image sufficiently enough.

I find it ironic that the same group eager to brand him as a convicted felon is the same group that usually demands employers given convicted nonviolent felons a second chance, especially when it comes to public/government jobs.

Heh, he's literally 'he who can't be named' to them. It stands for 'That Sick Fuck' which is what Biden called him apparently behind the scenes in 2020.

I thought it might stand for "Trump Shit Face." If the story behind the abbreviation is true, it shows how much both sides enjoy name-calling even with the hand-wringing about it during every campaign cycle.

This is way easier to do as a guy, shopping alone. My wife will start hyperventilating at the idea of making a 2nd or 3rd stop, so I tell her to have her list updated and just go without telling her.

She gets pissed off at not being included, but i've showed her the ~40% difference in our grocery bill (for the same list of items) depending on who is shopping, and said learn how to shop not like a retard or I'll take care of it.

Edit: Also, I can make 3-4 stops and get home in less time than it takes her to navigate fucking Kroger.

What every other lily white upper middle class AWFL thinks going to happen when they "fight the man." They'll get detained, handcuffs, maybe the paddy wagon, then they'll be give a stern talking to and cut lose.

Literally happens with every black bloc white chick. Luckily for us, Israelis will kill a white goy just as easily as a brown semite.

Edit: corrected spelling.

 

[DocAwe]

I do like how black people keep voting to get replaced by Mexicans.

It’s hard for me to decide. Do I want republicans because the county needs to be fixed? Or do I want democrats so all those fucking niggers in the cities can be pushed out by curvy Latina bitches?

Hm. Such a crossroads in life.

Is there an option for curvy Latina Republicans?

 

[anti SJW]

They are literally on DU saying 'well it's not as bad as it was during Carter, or the depression' now.

So they way the Dems are saying prices are good is by telling you its not as bad as the two worst economic times in the countries history. I hope the Dems don't think that most people will think that its good.

She's not even white, she was a Turkish American.



That's a really strong jaw, her head almost looks like a square

Right after the shooting too. The news cycle just got raped for Democrats.

Lmao, that face. Maybe she has a touch of the tism and wasn't all there. White skinned by American standards of "not black, not asian, not hispanic must be white."
