Looks like any other fall harvest season stock up at the stores around here. Well except the season right after the pandemic started and people took everything in sight off the shelves. It has taken a good year to overcome all that but it's been good the last couple of falls.

A guy who goes to the same church as a guy who works in the corporate office of one of our largest retailers here told him that profits are up thirty percent for the retailer. Doesn't surprise me at all considering now you have to buy two, three, four, five items or more to get a discount. Like for instance you have to buy two bags of Doritos for eight bucks, saving around two dollars...but who is going to put out eight bucks for Doritos. I know I am not. On the other hand, the retailers brand sells two bags for four bucks, saving around sixty cent but not tasting quite as good. The other day my grand kids mom sent me to get Kool Aid Koolers for the kids lunch box, it was one for 2.85 or two for three. Didn't make a lot of sense to me but that's been the trend since the pandemic. I mean in all reality I am definitely giving up another fifteen cents for one more box. Another one I laugh about is buy a package of hamburger and get one fifty percent off, you look at the price and it's fourteen bucks for one, that makes the other seven fifty, so 21.50 for around eight pounds of burger, no thanks.

I heard he's thinking about running for office again, I hope so. Can't wait to get on his facebook and ask him to explain why there's a thirty percent rise in his profits while people struggle to put food on the table.
