Hello, everyone. I recently read in the Wall Street Journal that potato sales are down. It's because of the fear of carbs and people are cooking less and less due to time constraints. Is cooking not convenient anymore? That issue could be a blog post on its own.
On a recent trip to my local King Soopers store, I saw a 5 lb. bag of potatoes on Manager's Special for 99 cents. "Manager's Special" is code for "Reduced price for quick sale before it goes bad or its our loss on profit". I walked by French Fry Heaven in Colorado Springs, CO recently and saw they were selling their basic size of french fries for $3 plus tax. That's "Tourist Trapper" prices. Heck, I can buy (3) 2 lbs. of shoestring french fries at Dollar Tree for that same price without the tax.
Once your money is spent, it's gone and nary a return on investment. Stretch that bacon that you bring home.
That's it for this post. Set aside some food for those in need. Remember, need knows no season. Until next blog post, have a great day.
