Well the thing about Two Buck Chuck (breathe Audrey, inflation is a natural occurence, not Obama's fault, my dad got over Icecream no longer being 5 cents) is that a majority of it is left over wine from other vineyards. So sometimes it can be the top notch wine from a vineyard or it could be crap. So its a gamble every time you get it. Then again, its three fucking dollars, you get what you pay for sometimes but hey, at least it wasn't made in a bathtub (someone fact check this.) But...mostly for the girls. Mostly for the girls.
So not only is there cheap wine, but it involves a game of chance? I'm setting up the camping equipment in front of the store tonight.
Aaaaand, apparently* the girls are all smokin' hot, but lack the mental capability to spend frugally, so don't forget that! *I say aparently, because I live in rural Georgia. We don't have Trader Joe's or WholePaycheck Foods anywhere near me. So there's a peopleofwalmart website, but nobody sets up a hotgirlsatwholefoods one? Pfffft.
You're sitting on a goldmine of internet fame, Rush, start that shit up. But don't let it get weird. Actually, what am I saying, it always gets weird.
So, do you guys have the option in your area to buy food from farmer markets? Is that a preference for people on here? The ones around here I usually find clean, well-kept produce and meat. And the lowest prices that there are. Yet only a small fraction of the populace buy from them. American grocery chains confuse me. Now, I've past plenty of Wholefoods and that Trader Joe store driving through the States. So, these are stores where the products cost more but suck much less? When I was out west in the 90's I remember there was a chain of stores called "Lucky" which had their own in-house products for sale and in said store they had the "Lucky Enema" for sale. Ya feel LUCKY, punk?
I buy from a farmers market near me but it is only open for one more week for obvious reasons. Their prices are the same as the local supermarkets and the fruits and vegetables are so much better tasting.
Great market in Charlotte that I go to, it does a decent amount of business but I think the reason people don't buy food there is a stigma of farmers markets being dirty? Seems like when I mention buying chicken or beef from the market most people instantly turn up their nose. Prices are always lower than Harris Teeter, Trader Joes and Whole Paycheck. You people must be making bank, I can't afford to shop at any of those places.
We have plenty of farmers markets in our area and buy some of our produce there. But we also have a chain called Sprout's Farmers Market which is Like a cross between a farmers market and a Whole Foods, but less expensive. Their meats and seafood are excellent--all natural beef & poultry and wild caught seafood as opposed to that farm-raised color-injected stuff. Plus the bulk grains, granolas, nuts etc. produce prices are about the same as the local farmers market, but a wider variety. I like to buy 3-4 papayas and run them through my juicer for us to have at breakfast.
The "farmer's markets" (I use that term loosely) here are about 3-4x the price of store fruits and veggies. Back home was way better though. Prices at the markets and stands in Mobile were the same or a little cheaper than Walmart, and much cheaper than Bruno's or Foodworld. I never saw meat for sale, though.
Jesus Christ someone start a grocery store thread already and let the rest of us get back to being drunk and depraved. Drunk......... ............and depraved! Music and pussy! Someone DOOO something! Is there no creativity left here?
REAEAEALLY? After one hour there isn't one single person on this board who will take a single shot at presenting something original. Well, I guess we could always talk about groceries.
Oh, you want something original? Here. This whale is learning to speak Human. The audio clip ishere and, maybe because the post I found the story from introduced it as it sounding like a whale making fun of us, it cracks me the fuck up. I started laughing so hard I was crying. I'm imagining the whale like it's an obnoxious 8 year old boy parading around a family dinner table going DURRRR.
My car has been in 3 different shops 4 times for 9 days of the last 20. It's kinda pissing me off. 2 weeks after a full transmission service and flush recommended by the dealer it's leaking like a sieve. I have a sneaking suspicion I paid the dealer to break my car. Deceptive Dealer can fuck themselves. I took it to Carl the Car Guy, who does impeccable work but is flaky ("oh, yeah, we know what's wrong with your car, but we forgot to call you;" "oh hey, your car has been ready for a couple hours but we didn't let you know; can you be down here in 5 minutes before we close for the weekend?") Carl the Car Guy said it was beyond his ken to find my transmission leak, and that I needed to take it to the neighboring fiefdom of Terry the Transmission Guy. So I have to get down there during work to pay Carl the $16 for fixing my busted taillight and drive my car down the street to Terry the Transmission Guy. According to Carl and everyone at work, Terry the Transmission Guy is the best transmission guy in 3 counties, and the Internet confirms this. I called Terry before he closed and he was like "oh yeah I had one of my guys look at that lemme go talk to him I"ll call you back in 10 minutes." Then he went home and didn't call me. Carl and Terry are cut from the same cloth. The walking everywhere and figuring out public transportation is a nice change but in my part of the world not having a car is like being in jail and the future Mrs. Frylock is not living here yet so I can't just borrow hers. FIX MY FUCKING CAR.
