Go to Topsmarket.com and check it > out. Good for you, Sheldon! Going to the Tops website won't benefit anyone here. Tops markets are only located in New York, Vermont and Northern Pennsylvania. It's a regional chain. > I've noticed no shortage on meats or anything else. (snippage about local farms in upstate NY) I haven't noticed any shortages of meats or produce, either. When the pandemic first became apparent in March there was the hoarding toilet paper thing... but since you have 300 twelve-packs in your basement of course you wouldn't have noticed. ;) I made a stock-up trip for the freezer last week. I bought packages of fresh bratwurst and mild Italian sausage (in casings) and a couple of nice chuck eye steaks. The bratwurst and the Italian sausage were on sale, $1.66 off from $4.99. The chuck eye steaks, OTOH, were $10.29/lb! Hmmmm, last time I bought them I think they were $6.99/lb. There were plenty of ribeyes, NY strip, porterhouse. I noticed a lot of sirloin tip steaks. Here's a "tip" about sirloin tip: they look pretty but it's a tough as nails cut of beef. The label on the tip steaks specifies "marinate". Woe to those who don't bother! I did have to dig around in the meat case to find chuck eye steaks. They were hidden under the sirloin tip steaks. Chuck eye steaks aren't something most of the people I know have ever heard of. The didn't start showing up at Publix until last year. I remembered them as being delicious from well before I moved to SC. Knew them to be tender, just as juicy and tasty as a ribeye but not nearly as expensive. A well kept secret... ;) Not anymore. Jill |

You're so full of shit you stink . Example : pork loins were at 1.88/pound last time I bought . I hand slice into approximately 6-7 ounce portions . Do the math , that's less than a buck a serving . You obviously pulled a Liberal trick and deliberately misunderstood what I wrote ... a serving is for ONE SERVING for ONE PERSON , not for two . -- Snag Illegitimi non carborundum |

We don't obsess about it , and we seldom worry about the cost of food . But we don't waste money either . We no longer even worry about budgeting , we know how much is coming in and we know how much the bills are going to be for the most part . Like I just a few minutes ago brought in today's mail , which was our monthly power bill . And it was within a couple of buck of what we expected for this time of year and the number of AC units we have running . -- Snag Illegitimi non carborundum |

A lot of people view meat as the flavoring, not the meal. You really are intolerant of people who are different from you. Cindy Hamilton |

If pork is $1.99 a pound, a quarter pound is 50 cents. That's plenty of meat for one meal if you're not a glutton. Cindy Hamilton |
| bruce2bowser@gmail.com: Jul 24 12:50PM -0700 Cindy, that's just NY. People from California and the Northeast seem rude compared to everyone else. In any event, I'm trying to decide on Creme de Menthe or Peach Schnapps to put over tonight's ice keemba. |

But apparently they have became prunes again. Just bought a can, being old and constipated (or maybe just remembering that I like them as is or in various grain and fruit bars). Perhaps old people didn't know what dried plums were. :-) > >Could be. I eat a dozen of those "bite size" prunes every day. > Aha! Slowly the truth comes out. What truth is that?
