I was bitching a month ago about $5 sandwich sliced pickles that used to be $2.50 but last week they were raised to $9.50.
Look, 15 years ago I was homeless sleeping in my car. I was laid off 13 months ago but recently started a new job. Household income $150k. I have no idea how the average home income folks can possibly survive. I don’t shop at fancy places and the necessities are making it hard on my family.
Gross. I’ve been making my own pickles, pretty easy to do, and you can pickle any random vegetable, really. Whatever’s cheapest. Might be worth looking into, it’s super fast and you can do it in any plastic bucket. Even cheaper if you do lactoferment.
As always it’s a time:money tradeoff tho. But this one takes like 5 minutes with a mandolin and a bucket. I cut up the bucket lid and weight it down with a couple food cans to keep the veggies under the pickling liquid.
The family size of pancake mix was cut from 10 lb to 5 lb. Pisses me off.
