Deep-Or-Whimsical @DeepOrWhimsical (40) • United States 10 Nov 24

So, do you remember when a bag of Chester's Cheese Puffcorn (4.25 oz) was only 99 cents? Currently, they are marked on the package as having the printed package price of $2.69. There are so many food items that are now sky-high,...

Not Out of the Woods Yet

Jim Bauer @porwest (112929) • United States 15 Sep 22

Today I Learned A Fully Cooked Chicken Costs Almost The Same As A Raw One.

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28954) • Canada 4 Oct 21

It's only about $2 more to get a fully cooked chicken. For them to do all the work and only charge me an extra $2 is great! My husband and I have been ordering whole chickens lately, and eating them on sandwiches with dressing and...

The Big Lie ... They tell us about lower prices ... GMAB

anthony davis @lookatdesktop (27156) • Dallas, Texas 8 Sep 17

I saw a recent grocery ad on social media. I won't name names but, for the most part this is common in the market of telling lies in advertisements. One good example is a certain well known canned soup company, and of course I...

"Pay-at-Pump" Option. Good or Bad?

jessigirl116 @jessigirl116 (848) • United States 7 Sep 08

My opinion? Bad. It's a simple, time saving option, but at what cost? What are the consequences when you choose the convenience of not needing to enter the store? If you don't go in, they spend less money, right? Nothing to catch...
