Chicken!!!!

[Ozz]

Around $2.00 a pound! Whazzup with that?
When I was a kid, we were dirt-poor, mom and dad would go to the chicken place? where the dead chickens were.. and bought chicken necks. Mom would pressure cook them and we would eat bones, meat and all. I think she threw in some white rice. Real cheap back then.
Times, and costs, they are a changing..
$3.67 a gal for(gas), up 12 cents in the past week.
Yikes!!!

I agree with what's up with fuel prices. First time we are over $4 a gallon for diesel in the panhandle. Yet we hear no outrage on the tube or other media. I guess most are getting use to the NEW NORMAL.

Chicken went up when they started putting their feed in gas tanks! Jim

A good price for Diesel is getting hard to find. It's about as difficult as....well...as finding Hen's teeth

$4.40 a gal for diesel in Maine.
But lobsters are cheap, only $2/# last summer.

I'm not sure I'd use lobsters for my diesel no matter what the price.

DW just made chicken and rice soup. It was a whole chicken (no necks) and DW removed all the skin and fat from the chicken to keep it healthier. Not only did she add white rice, but a whole bunch of veggies and spices, too. I have no idea what it cost, but it was mmm, mmm, good! And enough for a couple of days of leftovers, too.

We are not wasting any of this in the diesel, either. I have the Ford 6.0 and have to worry about what fuel we put in it and I'm guessing whether the lobster and chicken soup came out to less than $4 per gallon it won't be worth the damage to the diesel... LOL

Ozz, is the gas for the gennys? The only good thing around here when the prices go way up, is that even though diesel is $4.27, higher octane gasoline is even higher unless you use the real low octane stuff.

The reasons being used around here are the same ones used every time - Middle East unrest, production problems, supply problems, and the weather (huh?). What a bunch of whooey. Must be nice to charge more for your stuff if something happened in "pick the place here".

the Fed Reserve prints more money, that devalues the dollar, oil prices are based on the dollar, oil prices go up. I'll say no more.

That's part of it, the rest is two years of drought in the mid-west. Pop prices and everything else that uses corn as either a feed or a sweetener will see record prices before the year is out.

Diesel and gas are cheap compared to the price of a black ink cartridge for the printer!!! 22.68 for mine at wally world but had to print tax returns. I used to think that the tax preparer was ripping us off then I had to buy the cartridge, WOW!!!
