Canned of Tuna used to be $5 or $6 before Biden became POTUS ,but it's now almost $11. Wait a minute.. Spam is now almost $23 that's insane price. I am kinda wish that they'd have 50% sodium spam because I can't stand too much salty food.

[@joannapatterson4625]

That is insane!

@kagemusha - There are lower sodium (on 25% less) varieties of Spam. The one I saw recently that got me was the Spam with bacon. Good grief, isn't regular Spam high enough in sodium already? Who thought it needed BACON added??

[@raydemos1181]

boil the salt out of it and then it is edible.

[@lovethemflowers]

@@raydemos1181 That's an idea, cook it in a pot of water to dilute the salt. If you sauté it in a skillet, as the water leaves, the product becomes saltier.

[@pollypurree1834]

What state is this??? California???

It looks like it but it’s Florida

I think I’ll pass on the chicken 🍗 in a can 😅😂

Hurricane food in FL, then dog & cat food after hurricane season :)

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

@@CreamCheesePepperJelly - No way! Hurricane food here in Florida from June - November, then YOU eat it and buy new stuff for next hurricane season.

[@sandygordon496]

Americas junk problem😂😂

[@therealeconomy6052]

Absolutely. That’s why I half of Americans have diabetes.

Great video same shit here in Canada!. These food corporations can keep their expensive garbage food laced with toxic chemicals to make us sick let’s vote say NO with our wallets.

We both have liberal governments. We’re screwed!

4:35 $57.98 divided by 375 is 16 cents each... not bad for a single peanut butter cup

[@therealeconomy6052]

Good math!

[@johnny-becker]

@therealeconomy6052 Thanks! Did it all in my head... not really. The calculator did 97.7% of the work, 2.3% was me pushing the buttons

[@rhodesia1980]

That's because all the Tuna is cheap due to being radioactive.

In my neighborhood, we don’t get very many of any trick-or-treaters. On Friday, while grocery shopping, I bought normal size bag of Kit Kats and got a second bag for free on a Publix bogo. I bought the candy to give to the one kid who lives in my neighborhood, because I won’t have my porch light on later on today, and I wanted to give her some candy. I have a Sam’s membership, and all I buy there is meat, butter, tortillas, and occasionally some seafood, but mostly bulk meat, like 3-4 butt roasts at a time. I don’t really venture into the candy sections, seasonal items, electronics, and pantry staples isles as I’m there for the meat. I make about 45-65 lbs of char siu (Chinese BBQ pork) with the butt roasts, and tons of roast and BBQ pork egg rolls, and it lasts for months in the freezer. I save money buy eating the same things for months and months at a time, but make sure I’m eating stuff that I don’t just like, but love, like the Chinese BBQ. I also do a lot of shopping at Asian grocery stores which have great prices on things, and where I can get my bulk light and dark soy sauces, 10-20 pounds of fresh egg noodles, rice noodles, etc. I do a lot of shopping at Walmart too. I think the eating the same things for moths strategy helps, because I prep and cook in bulk and don’t end up buying canned foods, chips, frozen meals, cold cuts, and numerous other things that add up. I’m not suggesting anyone else do as I do. It’s just how I’ve figured how to live on an extremely tight budget, and eat foods (Chinese BBQ, egg rolls, lo mein and chow mein, egg rolls, vegetables, dumplings etc) without having to blow $30+ at the Chinese restaurant for what I love.

3:08 I did kind of like the Sleighallday pillow, if I'm honest. LOL

[@Todd.T]

The prices at Sam's Club were not better than Costco's prices for the name brands and Kirkland stuff was just as good as the name brands and Sam's didn't have an answer so they left Canada. Those prices were high for a lot of the items even by Canadian standards. A lot of the "foods" you pointed out, aren't available in the Costco I shop in. It is more raw foods for cooking than prepared stuff in a bag or cans. The way the market is going is they are upping the prices of the cheap stuff because more people are addicted/familiar to the brands. A hamburger for $5 at McDonalds or large fries for $3. The fries cost way less to make than a hamburger, but people with little money might buy fries only and people with money buy the fries so it makes financial sense to increase the prices of the fries and not the burger.

[@Railfan77]

How are your milk & egg prices holding!!?! Milk has gone up about 30 cents at my local Walmart in the last 10 days from like $2.98 to $3.32 a gallon. WinCo Foods, same thing!

[@lovelife7343]

My local Walmart in MN just increased milk prices as well . Went from $2.52 to $2.72 I guess I'm lucky to still be under $3 a gallon . Walmart still is the cheapest price in my town for chocolate milk other stores are $6 a gallon Walmart $2.72

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

Regular gas was 3.07 at my Sam's in Hillsborough County. Glad to see SOMETHING going down, even it's probably temporary.

[@therealeconomy6052]

It’s the calm before the storm. That is a good price though. See what I said? They have us conditioned to think that anything right around three dollars is an excellent price

[@msgmak1379]

Hit the nail on the head....here in Phoenix gas was $2.29 on inauguration day 2020. It's now $5.09, almost a 10% increase according to local media.....lol.@@therealeconomy6052

[@elainegaham6187]

Apple pears are delicious, when ripe they're juicy. They are expensive I've seen them go for 3.00 each in california so 10.00 for 6 is a good price. You have to try

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

@elainegaham6187 - They ARE good, but like you said, expensive.

[@therealeconomy6052]

I don’t think I could buy them. It’s just so pricey.
