Grocery prices

Good Lord! Never seen prices jumping up by leaps and bounds. Example: 42oz. of store brand old-fashion oatmeal---was priced at $2.24---on sale for $1.99---yesterday-$2.89, on sale at $2.49. With grocery prices escalating every day along with gas prices, I don't know how many people are going to survive.

rolled oats 25 lb $7.60
canning some more tomorrow
I noticed the stock market is finally responding to the unrest. I guess everyone is moving their money into comodties
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
YOU CAN blame the unions for that. here is a short explaination for high food prices. I work for wakefern corp "shoprite", and as it is union they are not equal in pay. The average cashier-bagger -stock clerk starts at minimum wage and goes up a little every year. I am at $8.20 per hour after 2 1/2 years with extremly limited benefits. The other elitist unions get much more, for example the meat cutters "butchers" union average employee gets $1200.00 per week to cut meat and are extremly pampered arrogant scum and they show it . I was on line cashing my check when one was braging and waving his money around. The managers get overly pampered too, I was talking to one of my managers recently and he thinks that $34,000 per year is far too cheap and if he had to work for that he would quit "not worth his time". And the truckers union is ridiculous also, another over paid pampered union. I have been and still am anti-union, so there are some resons why food prices are so high. Blame the unions, shop walmart.
Absolute BS, unions have nothing to do with prices at grocery stores...again absolute BS[xx(]

There is a UNION grocery store in Bryan Ohio. There food prices are competitive with any other gorcery store in the area.
While NOT a fan of unions, it doesn't seem to be driving them out of business. They have been there and union many years.

more than likely it's due primarily to the ethanol mandate, but I'm sure unions in general aren't helping anything.

Nice theory dude but if that is true why is Walmart raising their prices too? Blaming unions is one thing but it gets ridiculous after a while.
No matter what there is someone that comes along and says it the unions fault.
Everyone blames the auto industry failure on the UAW and they had a hand in it But so did the Big 3 and so did Washington with all their free trade agreements.
When operations are shipped over seas and American workers are laid off and materials used from domestic suppliers are now imported and all of those people loose their jobs.
75,000 Auto workers lost their jobs But by the time suppliers were cut off and they shut down 750,000+ lost their jobs Union or not.
If it is all the Union's fault why are just as many non union companies sending jobs out of the US ?
According to Omama and his crew there is no cost of living increase this year again so no increase in the soc sec checks. Just more proof they have NO CLUE what is going on in america and for that fact they DO NOT CARE!. Dirty bastagins may they rot in hell
Typically what drives up/down prices of non perishable goods at G stores is the cost of the shipping to get the product to the store....fuel prices go up...it gets passed to the consumer...really not that complicated[:)]
Winner winner no chicken dinner.
It's my second bag. Read the post I posted last night titled "Famine". One's coming.

When people start dropping dead I tell you it will be by design.
Blame mother nature for drought, like the steps of Russia, the floods in Australia and other natural causes.
Blame the Green movement as they get one agricultural chemical after another banned to save the planet, but in the process curtailing agricultural production.
Blame alternative fuels that use food crops, such as corn, and take it from food production.
Blame the current administration for it unbridled printing of billions of dollars and slowly moving this country into a hyper inflation situation.
We, the people, elected these clowns to run our government and they are doing a great job of it. Running it into the ground.
Blame our federal government for not allowing drilling in the US so we can be more energy independent. Our Federal government is dedicated to keeping up the rich lifestyle of the OPEC country leaders while American drilling rigs sit silent, unable t get permits to drill.

HERE are the answers.
NOT unions or corporate farms.

what a load of crap....the markets dictate the prices not the unions....you don't have a clue on what your even talking about...more flappin lips....[V][:0]
everyone was warned....its gonna get bad
kill cows are bringing .70 to.80 cents a pound to the farmer...he still makes no money...while stores are getting over 4.00 a pound for hamburger...
everyone was warned....its gonna get bad
All part of the Koch brother/tea-party/Globalist agenda!!!!!
Make everybody too tired trying not to starve to death to be a threat to them!!!
non union jobs are going out of the country to try to compete with the govt supported unionized theft from the taxpayer...
Everybody on here complains That Union labor drives the cost of business up because of high wages and benefits.
A non union company typically doesn't pay as high a wage or as many benefits so their cost should be way less so the union company should have trouble competing with the non union company NOT the other way around.
I am a Member of The Operating Engineers and the contractors bid against other contractors both union and non union the lowest bidder gets the job where is the "unionized theft" in that? sounds like free market to me.
I see all this blaming unions for everything But where is the blaming the politicians that sold all our * down the river with the NAFTA and other free trade agreements that made it possible for jobs to be shipped out of the country. If you want to point the finger point all the way around or not at all.
The only contribution the unions play in this is by helping elect the people who caused it. But there is plenty enough of that blame to go around. If you are looking for place blame, look in the mirror, we are all at fault.
We can correct this and other things as well at the polls. But trusting either of the 2 parties of power isn't going to do it. Educate yourself and become part of the solution.
Buy by the case and save.
I buy rice in 25 lb. bags. Lasts several months.
Hard to think about the amount of deisel that is used by the trucks that hit their docks every day .
I don't hate WalMart so I shop at Sam's too.
