We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

I can tell you it isn't the folks on the cow end for that. Same with prices on beef.

Mine is nearly $8 a gallon. There’s one that’s cheaper, but I hate the owner so I refuse to give him my money unless I have to.

I'm going now. Im a fan of Wegmans, but if prices continue increasing then...
Looks like Aldis is back on the menu, boys!
Might want to hunt around for local farm shares. Keep the money local, get quality produce, reduce what you pay to massive corporations?
Is Aldi's considered lower than Walmart? We have an HEB (big Texas based grocery chain) and a Walmart. I only use Walmart for staples, not fruit, meats, or other perishables. I don't trust them.
There is an Aldi's but its about 20 miles away and I've never been.

Can we all agree it’s the corporations? I’m tired of profits crushing basic humanity and empathy. I’m tired of f***ing metrics, bullshit technology, and I won’t even touch the political- but we all agree this is not how life was meant to be lived, right?

No bags tho
I always BYOB anyway. Aldi is cleaner, cheaper, and pays their employees better. Wins across the board
Perhaps it varies by market but a quick online check show Aldi's paper bags for a whopping $0.12 a piece. The reusable one's are $1.09.
Such obstacles.

Sure, but the inconvenience of it, right? Recyclable and everything - the nerve of those f***ers, having cheap prices but making people buy a bag for 12 cents.
While the site is still up, USDA does have some info on CSAs by area -
Other good ways of find them involve going to local farmers' markets - which can be searched from almost that same link. The API can take you here -
Best hurry up and look though, no idea how long that info will be available.

we have been using reusable grocery bags for years now. the plastic ones in the supermarket suck, and no one knows how to bag them, so you get 47565 of them every time you shop. We take over bagging from the clerks too. Usually, there's never enough baggers anyway. Plus, we can make sure the cans of vegetables aren't on top of the eggs, and we get the f*** out of there faster too.

i buy a reusable bag everytime I go to grocery store because I always forget to bring themCrushed eggs in this day and age is a financial disaster.
I remember when they took away the paper bags from grocery stores to save the trees and made everyone switch to plastic. I take my plastic bags back to the grocery store to be recycled.
Yep, it was a great campaign by the folks who make plastics. One of the more indelible marks of the oil folks - they did a great job. Ironic now that most people have plastic stuck inside them. Even more so when some of them have never been fully tested for their impacts on humans.
You may want to rethink the plastic ones too since there is evidence they don't actually ever wind up being recycled into anything.
Speaking of the plastics thing - when ABC did their project to see if things actually went to recycling centers and instead found things going to landfills and shipped overseas -
(Yes, it backed up that 10% or less of plastics are actually recycled which folks trying to accomplish the recycling have quoted before. So yeah... feels good doesn't it?)
