Yesterday's shopping at Smith's:
Ramen better than it has been in a few months--shelves were about 30% full.
They raised the price of ACV store brand gallons from 4.99 to 5.99. There was only one gallon of white vinegar and I got it.
When they remodeled the store late last year, they drastically shortened the shelf space for pasta. Even so, it was looking thin yesterday, like about 50% full.
They have been horrible at rotating and ordering their stock of yogurt. Last week I pointed out to a manager that they had a lot of yogurt past the best-by date. I heard the manager tell the kid working in that area to take care of the issue. I even pointed out to the kid which brands were problematic. The same containers were there yesterday. I pointed them out again to the kid, and also got him to discount six quarts of short-dated yogurt.
Other dairy was in short supply as well.
They haven't had tube rolls in months.
Deli meats were better stocked than they have been in a while.
They had store-brand saltines.
There was no Kraft Parmesan cheese, but plenty of store brand.
Frozen veggies were in very short supply, but at least they had some. Last week the veggie freezer was being repaired, so they didn't have any out on the floor.
The local HD continues to have some killer deals in the garden department. In addition, yesterday they had Ryobi "18V handheld electrostatic sprayer kits" on clearance, originally $349 for $10. Had to call DH about it since I had no idea what they were used for, and DH has Ryobi tools. Apparently, the tank gets loaded with disinfectant for spraying down churches, schools, offices, etc. He wasn't interested in that application. But he was really interested in the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, so he had me get three of them.

I ran by Kroger
The holes of saltines were barely restocked but had a few. I grabbed one box because I have three and we don’t go through that often.
Pasta ; grabbed three boxes.
Meat, still picked over in the beef section. What IS on sale is nothing I’d pay those $$ for.
Chicken was good, pork was good.
Toilet paper so-so.
It looked a lot better then last week.

I ran to Harris Teeter on my way home from work today. We have a winter storm watch here in Charleston, SC. We expect freezing rain overnight and possible ice on the roads and bridges into tomorrow morning. They even closed schools here because of the potential for inclement weather. I know y’all up North are probably laughing at us. Our bridges get very icy though and they take no chances since we don’t have the equipment for the roads. We are on the edge of the system so hoping not too much ice. I thought I’d make a beef stew tomorrow since I plan on staying in. The store was a madhouse. I’ve never seen the produce look so sparse. And the meat was decimated. I was lucky to get a pot roast for my stew. But there was no celery to be had. Zero regular, organic, stalks or chopped celery. I guess everyone is making soup tonight. Every aisle was packed and it was hard to move. Lots of holes, but I got what I needed other than celery.

I just found out something I grew up on, ( in MICHIGAN) that I thought was as common as potatoes, is UNHEARD of, here in Washinton state! We had it at least 3 to 5 times a month because it was CHEAP, served as the meat and came in different flavors, It was about a pound of meat, or pound and a half, a RING BOLOGNA. A short very fat (big, not greasy) sausage, enough for four people that was shaped in a plump ring. It was almost like Hot Dog meat, but not quite, it was more moist. It popped with juice when mama cut it. I liked garlic flavored the best. We ate it with beans or macaroni and cheese. Back then, I am sure mom didn't pay over a half dollar for one that fed the four of us.
Any body else ever heard of it ?

I saw ring bologna all the time in the store when I was a kid, but Mom never bought it because Dad didn't care for it.
Around here, (N MN) ring sausage commonly comes in two varieties - ring smoked sausage or polska kielbasa. Usually goes on sale for 2.50-3.00/lb. You can find it everywhere. Most places also sell potato sausage in a ring.
They must not have any Germans or Pollocks in Washington State.

If it’s what I’m thinking of, yes!
Keilbasa rings!
To this day I buy that to put in green beans and potatoes just like mom did!
Yep, she’d feed all six of us on a huge pot

I love this recipe:If it’s what I’m thinking of, yes!

KIELBASA-RICE BAKE | |
| 1 lb. Hillshire Farm beef polska kielbasa, cut in 1 inch chunks 1 (10 1/2 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup 1 soup can water 1 med. onion, chopped 1/4 green pepper, chopped 1 1/2 stalks celery, chopped 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 c. uncooked rice Place above ingredients in covered, greased glass casserole. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Serves 4. |
It's definitely a cheap way to add meat flavoring to darned near anything. I think the keilbasa is courser ground and
more garlic-y, the smoked sausage, finer, maybe more like bologna, with more smoke flavor. Both have endless uses.

NOPE, it's NOT Kielbasa. We got plenty of that here. But not RING Bologna. The sausage at least twice or more, as fat ias kielbasa in diameter,, and has no lumps, more likeIf it’s what I’m thinking of, yes!

Good kielbasa is made fairly local (maybe sold in a few contiguous states, at most). The national brands are imposters

I forgot when DD went to get the rotisserie chicken she said Mom the entire biscuit area was empty. We joked because I have 3 cans of biscuits in the fridge. My inner self thought oh I need to get some. She saw me thinking and said Mom, you do not need biscuits. Not only do you have 3 cans you have enough flour to make them 100 times over LOL

I want a tall cold glass of OJ soooooooo bad... Can't have it as I'm diabetic and just a small amount will send my blood sugar levels thru the roof.
OJ is the one thing I miss the most. I have dreams about drinking a big glass
[/QUOTE] I miss it too. I crave it, but the acid kills my stomach, so I can't drink it either.

I ate my y2k pasta that was 14 yrs old and it was perfect.
the pizza places around here haven't had celery since summer. Said they can't get it.

I rarely if ever drink it, but a yr ago I drank a small bottle and in an hour or so my throat started getting thick like gonna close up. It lasted for hours. Allergic? Can't drink it anymore.

possums are sweet and docile and they only live under 2 yrs in the wild. They can have ten babies. They stay on Mom's back till they fall off
When they are older.
Bad food. Has corn and soy in it. GMO. Yrs ago had recall cuz of some kind of deadly mold from corn. I give mine lamb and rice Rachel Ray. I tasted it. Real good tasting. I ate 5 pieces it was so good. Has no corn, wheat or soy.

I feed my dogs a breakfast of one raw chicken leg with the bone. Vet said can eat raw bone but not cooked. I am poor, but I do spoil them. The next day they each get 3 tiny meatballs from Dollar Tree for Breakfast. At night they get their good dry kibble. They get rawhide to chew on, but not from China. I think Mexico is ok. They deserve to be spoiled.

I totally agree. I always thought that I would die before I ate my preps, but it looks like I may eat them after all. I have rice, barley, oats, beans, lentils, pasta, popcorn, split peas.....and I forget what else. I have a little of those prep foods from survival preps or whatever it's called. Mostly dry goods,but spam too., And extra bags of dog kibble and dry cat food

You may be shortening your dog's life by feeding inferior dog food. I used to buy the frozen pork roll, cook it with a good amount of water and add either elbow pasta or dry oatmeal. Mixed good. They loved it.
