  • Can’t speak to the cost, just found my local place and their FB link is offline.

    a way to save money. If it really was, it would be common practice already.

    I cannot overstate how dumb Americans are about shopping. The local Publix (expensive) just put the Winn Dixie (medium prices) out of business, because the Publix is newer and prettier.

    Meanwhile, there are 8 other groceries that are cheaper than either. Even the Aldi isn’t busy.

    Been in a few big box stores lately, prices stunned me. “People pay for this shit?!” Dude on here posted his fish tank purchase. Spent loads buying: little rocks, sticks, big rocks. I just decorated a terrarium for nearly free.

    I buy almost nothing new, hell, I find a lot of my stuff. We had to get a new washer and fridge last year, paid $400 for both off FB Marketplace, nicest I’ve ever had in life, minimum $2,200 at the hardware store. Not going to listen to Americans whine about high prices when they’re complicit.

    Apologies, you triggered my Rant Card.










  • What I’m always stunned by, who is fucking stupid enough to shop there?! I go to the pharmacy, get my shit, leave. Even when I had a fat income, I still wouldn’t pay those prices.

    Locally, the Winn Dixie is shutting down because the new Publix out competed them. For those not in the know, both are very nice groceries, with Publix a little nicer and way costlier. FFS, we have an Aldi (along with 5 other cheaper groceries) and it’s never as busy as the expensive stores.

    Hit a couple of big box stores waiting on my wife. Never go in those places anymore, especially since inflation went nuts the last couple of years. People pay for that crap?! At Pets Mart a chunk of driftwood is between $20 and $50! Y’all, we’re in Florida, paying for driftwood and sand. The mind boggles.

    tl:dr; American consumers are idiots and I’m not going to hear the whining about high retail prices.
