This Piece Of Shit Market Keeps RAISING PRICES On Everything Almost Every Other Day ! It Is Beyond SICKENING ! angrydevilangry

Example?

Anyone notice that prices went up during Covid because of the shipping hassles and costs. Those issues got resolved but prices never came down from it 

Who is Kroger merging with?

Albertsons

The proposed merger, announced nearly two years ago, is the largest in U.S. supermarket history. Kroger and Albertsons, two of the nation's largest grocery chains, aim to create a massive combined entity operating over 4,000 stores across the country.Aug 26, 2024

Just get what you want and don't pay for it......seems to be the American way

multinational investment conglomerates controlling the grocery supply?

No way! that's American as fuck!


plant some seeds. Get a couple chickens. Meet a farmer.

or don't 

American greed.

Albertsons and Safeway became one company in 2015. If Kroger is able to go through with this new merger they will own those two names as well as Fred Meyer, a PNW chain. I shop at local independent grocery stores (Capella, Market of Choice), spend more, feel better about it. 

Rob (Plf9905) the prices of groceries are like everything else. They keep going up, the rich get richer. You can bet that the farmers are paying more for everything and not benefiting from higher prices. Same for most manufacturers until you reach the top of the pyramid. Workers are not making more. It's so demoralizing.

Von's = Albertsons btw

I'm pretty sure capella's gets their meat from longs

do you eat meat, judit?

I do eat meat, and I get chicken from Capella and other meats from Long’s. Capella can get organic chicken, which is what I want, and Long’s doesn't get it

I love Meat, and I especially love chicken

You might want to check the prices at Vallarta, Rob. It looks like there's a couple of them in Oxnard.

In related news, Direct TV - disclaimer: I am a DTV customer - has bought out DISH, their main competitor.

More or less simultaneously, ATT sold DTV to some un-named investment company.

Worst thing that ever happened to DTV was being bought by ATT.  Fuck ATT.

But them buying Dish really sucks for us I am sure.

The problem I have with Safeway is that every time I go there, another healthy choice has been dropped. Less organics and  more garbage, I only go there every couple months or so now.

For an idea of what you are buying from "supermarkets" read "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan.

GMO corn derivatives anyone?

I pulled the plug on my satellite service about 6 months ago, and switched to YouTube TV for most of my viewing, supplemented by a couple of services like Hulu and Netflix on an occasional basis. The satellite service was costing me about $120 a month for their most basic package. Now, I'm paying YouTube $73 a month, and the supplements add on about another $20-25. I now have much more content to choose from for about 15-20% less than I was paying.

> GMO corn derivatives anyone?

They're contained in about 30-40% of the items in the average grocery store is the way I've heard it.

y'all need Aldi
