Was at supermarkets yesterday.

Banquet Salisbury Steak & Turkey TV dinners were $1.25 now $1.48 to $1.78.

4 lbs Sugar up about $0.50.

Frozen Potatoes / French Fries (if and when in stock) up about $1.50+ a bag. Size of bag has changed also.

At Ga. Fuel Stations
87 Octane Gas $4.01 to $4.15 per/gal
Diesel Up to $5.49 to $5.69 per/gal
Also noticed a number of people now using Octane Booster additives and buying cheaper gas.

In our case being Retired and on fixed income, we have eliminated any new purchases of Steak, Bacon and Chicken Wings.

NOTE: Country Boys will survive
It seem here in GA Feral Hogs in the creek areas around us are in good supply. GA's Wild Hog season is all year with NO LIMIT and can be hunted day or night and baiting is allowed. Averaging 100+lbs dressed out, 2 hogs (150lbs) and a few Butchers will cut it up and wrap it, after hours for a hindquarter. That should last about 18 months, until the regime changes in DC.

#2 ...but employers are still struggling to find workers to fill needed jobs, which is contributing to ongoing supply chain problems.

Thanks in no small part to Federal & state governments actively fighting against it with generous unemployment benefits so all the slackers can get baked all day and get caught up on Jerry Springer reruns.

#5 I have read feral hog tastes pretty bad, at least in my area of the midwest. Is that true?

#6 ^ Greasiest stuff I ever ate. Someone gave me a bunch of wild hog sausage, as soon as I saw how greasy it was, I threw the rest away.

#7 all the slackers can get baked all day and get caught up on Jerry Springer reruns

Something seriously wrong with people who will sit and watch the likes of Jerry Springer, Dr. Phil or Oprah Winfrey. Maybe it's better if they never work, never marry and never have kids.

#8 I blame it all on poor messaging by underperforming WH staffers. They need to step up their game.
