Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

Well, dandelions do make up a large part of the ducks green intake this time of year. I also grow duckweed for them in the pond. I guess offsetting feed costs kind of counts as profitable

I'm still able to get greens from a local grocery store yr round.They would normally toss it in the dumpster.I give the guy a doz. eggs a week and he puts it aside for me.Its the last store in my town that will do it because to many people were stealing..If i lose that connection i'll have to reduce my flock of 55 hens to..? I get about two-three bushels of greens a day, so its a big help with the feed..

I just went to Albertson's to pick up a few items and checked the price of coffee. Can we say STICKER SHOCK

39 oz Folgers was $12.49!!! And to think only last week I was complaining that coffee was between $8 & $9 but that was at a different store too.

I think I feel a chunky breeze pickin up :/

I broke my coffee habit about 2 weeks ago. Hubby is still hooked. Fortunately he drinks the cheap crap. When I was drinking it I had to have whole beans and ground it myself.

You're still off coffee? Wow! I can go without if I need to, but it's soooo relaxing.

Last time I shopped my Cost Co they had my Favorite brand at 10 bucks for the 3 lb bucket. I bought 6. The grocery is selling it for cose to 13.00 for 2 pounds.

i'm carefully doling out my Starbucks by the individual bean. after spending 20 years in the shadow of their corporate logo there is no way i can give it up.

remind me about this when a small bag hits $20. at that point i'll add "learn to roast your own beans" to my list of skills.

For relaxing, hot coco or herbal cinnamon tea with cream works. Coffee was starting to just make me edgy.

Sunflower still has all their whole beans at 7/pound.
