I cook. I enjoy it. I don't like stocking too much food because I also go out to eat alot as it is just my wife and I and it's a drag cooking for 2. Also at 60 that''s just what we do with our friends.
Every time I go to Publix it's the same thing either I can't believe my eyes or my ears.
Sunday I met my buddy for breakfast at Bagel Cove. I needed milk and a few things so I jump into the Aventura Publix around 191st street. Milk shelves bare. They had milk but mostly Publix brand or the Almond or Soy milks. No lactose free milk of any brand. My son was lactose intolerant and we just got used to Lactaid milk. NONE, ZERO, ZILCH. When you ask a Publix employee where it is you get the same response maybe tomorrow or the day after.
Then the meat section, you can see the partially bare shelves. Prices up, choices are down.
Now with meat it could be that prices are so high that they have cut back on purchasing too much to avoid waste but that's the circle of inflation. With prices high people pull back on what they buy so the stores cut back on what they will stock. They don't want to have to throw it out.
And this fire ends up feeding itself. We cut back prices should come down with reduced demand BUT the grocery store cuts back so supplies are reduced and then prices don't come down so quick.
I only buy it if it's on sale. I won't pay $24.99 per pound for USDA Choice NY strips at publix when the price used to be $14.99. They aren't good enough for that price.
Then there is the people to talk to. Sunday it was an old woman at the checkout line talking to me about our Country and under her breathe this administration, and the conditions being bad.
Time before that it was a younger Black couple and the girl was bitching about prices and America outsourcing everything..
What a drag....................
