...coupons... In So Cal. They had gone nuts on coupons. Offers of double and triple coupons at the door. The worst one was Ralphs. Triple coupons and sky high prices. All the coupons did was bring the price down to regular without any discount. It became a joke. I just shopped Lucky. They had good prices. Not quite as good as Albertsons if you shopped hard. Also Albertsons was tough to shop because it was flooded with housewives...over busy...too crowded. I've noticed Albertsons doesn't have near as good of prices in these lower population areas. I think the reason is the lack of distribution system. That can really cut costs. Now, I try to shop the local grocery store that tries. Got a nice one here. To get to a big store is fifty miles away. So perishables don't work out too good there. Besides, out here I can get good meat from a butcher at very very competitive prices to the big boys. Talk about good deals on Buffalo? Very happy with that. Buffalo is good and good for you. Looking forward to the day that e-business allows the ranchers to sell directly to retailers and restaurants. Am sure there is a good market for Non-fat Cow and Buffalo. They all call what you buy in the store as "fat cow". Because the middleman fattens the cows then sells them to retail. Non fat cow is much much better. But the hamburger has a hard time clinging together. I'll quit carrying on. Watching the market like a hawk right now. Doesn't look like it's going to keep going up today? Charts don't look good after that gap up on the open? BirdDog@Prairie.com
