[@yeahdontknow57]

@@kaigreen5641 yea, theres usually 4-5 different brands per store, including the organic ones, but I am usually too busy looking at all the different plant milks to know any actual milk prices

[@Monochrome93]

Even if I do look at the price, it's to compare the brands. You can buy a dozen eggs for less than $2 if you want cheap eggs and like $8 if you get free range, organic eggs. Even then it depends on where you live.

[@Volkbrecht]

There are a lot of these things that are considered "basic", when really they aren't. Milk, butter, eggs, bread. Depending on your habits you may hardly ever touch any of those, and unless you really have to scrape for pennies you will just buy what you usually buy and don't pay too much attention to the prices of the single items.

[@laumay7364]

Most people buy milk for their babies--children so, they kinda know the price. I'm sure poor working musicians don't waste their time drinking milk. And no, alternative milks don't have the nutritional content cause they're not actually "milk".

Same here. Ricky is a champion of our unique Whitley humour.

[@barryfoster453]

@@lazyoldmanathome7699 The rest of Reading caught up some years back...it's now as shite as Whitley! To be fair, we did have Rabsons, and Dead Man's Lake, and we used to bike out to the sticks (it was Three Mile Cross!). But that was only when I could borrow a bike, as we were too poor for me to have one until I was 15. I had cause to join the junction of Shinfield Road and Hartland Road last Sunday for the first time for years. We got stuck at the lights (yeah, thanks, Reading Borough Council!!!)...on a Sunday! My roots have made me what I am, but I would still have rather been brought up in a seaside town...like Hayling! Reading-by-the-sea. I hate Reading, now. The councillors have made a poor town incredibly bad. As Ricky says in his latest video, he NEVER comes back here. A wise man.

Ricky's show is awesome - at last someone with authority and the respect of the whole world has put these virtue signalling frightened little people in their place. Just because they get scared of humour relating to real life and try to ban it instead of deciding not to listen to it, they try to 'cancel' the comedian! How childish! Back in the 1970's Bernard Manning and his fellow comedians saw humour in the real world. It was called humour in adversity and is one of the best tonics. If you were under the weather an evening at a Club with these guys put you back on top of the world! But these wokies are too young and inexperienced in life to know this.

[@titteryenot1136]

respect of the whole world?really?😅

Only a comparatively affluent demographic cohort could take offence at humour in adversity let alone assume it on behalf of others. Wokeness is always only ever about the outrage of the affluent enunciated through self-aggrandising virtue-signalling.
