General Discussion

We often do store brand over name brand for about 3/4 of groceries. A can of black beans last year cost .99, this year $1.19, on sale for $1.09. It's typical of just about every item we purchase.


(and for Statler and Waldorf... the same style increase applied to dried beans as well, and the gumbo-clay soils on the land our place sits on aren't keen on allowing healthy bean growth)
