    And I'm not happy about! Seriously... is there anyone that stupid??!!??
    I can buy this (wow...look...a two-fer)

    Or I can use a little common sense. And buy these...

    Did they really think this was a good deal??? 2 dozen for $5 ???
    Absolutely not!!! They know its a bone price. But this is marketing.

    Thomas English Muffins are now $4.59 a 6-pack. 6 measly lumps of dough!!!
    Two years ago they were $1.69 like any other bread in the isle.
    NOW... By One Get Two Free...You save $3.40 ! ...that is... if you have the Preferred Shoppers Card:rolleyes:

    This is sickening!!! You expect this from a car sales place...but not your local grocery store that you have been going to for 22 years...:mad:

    Right where I want to be.
    Not a new thing. At all.
    At least you're smart enough to not fall for it.

    But they are Eggland's Best! They have to be worth it if they are the best. And they are Grade A, which I never got in school. If you read the box it says they somehow stay fresher longer. You'd be stupid not to buy them. :whistle:

    And your piggy toe is very small :rofl: :lol:

    Nuts.

    And what makes those eggs stay fresher longer? What do they do to eggs now? Maybe hybrid chickens?

    Something else was pointed out to me this morning by my wife. The store she has been doing most of her grocery shopping now wants to run all their sales adds for a certain price....but first you have to buy 5 other items to get that sale price. Problem? None of the other items are anything that she usually buys. In effect, no sales price for her. I told her it is time to switch stores, and she will.

    I forgot to add to the above. Besides, last week I went into that store to buy some beer. They did not have one bottle or can of the beer I wanted. Yes, time to switch.

    If they were raised here, the eggs would probably have long johns on them!

    Yes, I've noticed that they've been going to a quantity sell here lately.... But My eggs come from my back yard and most of my beer comes from my basement...

    • Beef and Pork
    • Crustaceans (e.g., lobster, shrimp, and crab)
    • Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
    • Lettuce and Spinach
    • Poultry
    • Seeds for Sprouting (e.g., for alfalfa sprouts)
    • Shell Eggs
    • Shellfish - Molluscan
      (e.g., oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops)
    • Spices and Seasoning

    That's why some people need to count to more than two, or a&b, when counting their nuts.o_O

    Since the topic of his piggies had been brought up, it looks like you're feeding the second toe too much!
