My wife likes them too in dark chocolate and there is a feeling of rip off when the middle pockets only hold two cookies.My wife likes celebration cookies. They keep changing the tray to fit less cookies. If they did the whole thing, you may think that they did it to protect the cookies from damage, but only doing part of it shows you they are just being ^*(&^*&^Y.

10$!! That's just goofy.
My wife like the dark chocolate too. I just posted the first pic I found of the crapass tray.
A gallon of milk is close to 9bucks in NS even more in NB
The Squeeze used to like these brownies that came in a box about 6" wide with a cellophane window about 3" wide. Open the box to find a cardboard tube running down each side of the inside of the box. The brownies were only about 3" long. Half the box was just air.
Look at a box of arborio rice, one with a cellophane window. Then turn the box on its side and you realize the box is only 3/4 full, if that. If the box was sized for the contents there would be less cardboard and shipping costs.
I worked at a cereal manufacturing plant at one point. You know the standard argument that boxes are full when they package them and they have settled during the journey so that's why they are 1/2 to 3/4 full when you open them. Nope. There is lots of room at the top right out of the machine. Marketing has a horrendous effect on the environment (especially in tech where there are six layers of plastic before you get to the device) and no proven benefit.

so buy pasta made with semolina not durum wheat and your good to go.
(PS, canadian made dry pasta sucks)
I have noticed the price of beef is down a bit at the grocer, all the western feed lots are hitting the market and red meat is in good supply and demand is down. Loading up the freezer on steaks.
Won a turkey at a draw the other week , what do two people do with a 20lb turkey, other than eat it for a week.

Eat it for half a week and freeze a bunch of turkey soup/stew for later?
Turkey served at fireside chats with cc?
Cook it, make up to go meals in disposable containers and deliver it with cutlery to some houseless people?
As opposed to 4.29 here in Ontario
Pizza substitute.
There is drought in the west, dry enough there is no hay to feed livestock.
Beef lots are sending stock to slaughter instead of going broke trying to import hay.
Makes for a glut of beef on the market today but puts real pressure on future breeding stock... so yeah, stock up today cuz the price is going to skyrocket NEXT year, when there is no beef.

Shopping today and bought my favorite cold cuts, Hungarian Salami. Up 12% from 3 weeks ago.
Eat more rats. They rebuild herds fast.
Seriously, culling a herd a few percent shouldn't be a big rebuild of numbers but if the herd gets cut in half there's a bigger exponential problem. I assume the problem isn't sheer numbers, it's having an breeding stock that gets reduced prices at the market.
A shortage of beef means a run on chicken and pork so they go up as well. Unlike manufactured goods you can't just run an extra shift to make up.

Pizza is still cheapLarge 3 topping for $12
I'm pretty sure I was paying the same 20 years ago.
Wonder if anyone keeps track of shrinkflation when it comes to pizza?
