The only thing to do today is to wait to be sent to the ovens. |

This way after our Military and militarized cops get done with their first wave of mass murdering Americans via mass forced quarantines and mass forced vaccinations you will be able to start up your own black market business!

Aldi is a great place with much cheaper prices (I refuse to shop at Walmart for years). I can get the same quality foods, organic and all, for $100 and Aldi. The same items at the Wegamans down the road would coast me closer to $150. Now Wegmans is much nicer and his more variety of goods (one stop shop kind of place) but I'm saving $50 per trip (easily) when shopping at Aldi. That $ adds up. |

There's not much sense in getting free $$ every month if you have a $600 per week grocery bill. Should not have been pure cash, it should have been done in the form of food coupons, product discounts, and essential worker bonuses. UBI was a great idea but they killed it by making it not work. It doesn't make sense when continuing workers don't even benefit and they have the privilege of paying those who no longer work... PERMANENTLY. People will claim covid-19 fear, fake covid sickness as long as milking this thing is possible. |

I go out shopping, my wife makes the list from sales flyers on the internet. Yesterday she was boggling at the price increases in the sales flyers. I was like "Yes, dear. That's the way that it's been going." Now she understands why I picked beef up when it was a good price. And why I picked sausage up when it was on a good sale. And why I picked up pork chops when they were .99/lb. All in the freezer now. "Yes, yes. Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death.

All of the cheaper priced items are gone. so all that is left is the higher priced items. I see if every week when I go out. |
