Then this:

I'd say the biggest reason in the rising cost is these guys who represent Nabisco workers nationwide.



Rising labor costs.<--------------

Thank You! I was just going to ask if Unions are contributing to the higher prices.

But...but...Nilla wafers are junk food right? Last week's genius idea was to tax junk food so we could sell apples in libraries...

Oh, no, Snoutport is a hard working union teacher.  He deserves cheap junk food.

That price increase is because the manufacturer knows that if you're stupid enough to be eating veggie burgers, you'll be stupid enough to pay $7 for 4 of them. :tongue:
actually the price is up that much because the price of soybeans is way up. Ethanol subsidies has made farmers plant more corn than usual taking up field acreage that should be soybeans. I work at a soybean processing plant and have been keeping my eye on the habits of grain producers.


and you should check the ingredients of what you eat. a majority of it has something derived form soybeans. second to only high fructose corn syrup which also has to compete with ethanol. basically everything we eat has to compete with ethanol.

The image I have of him is someone like Dom DeLuise.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

32. veggie burgers up to $7.00/box from $5.17 in ONE week...
   
...that was my latest sticker shock. That's for FOUR damn soy burgers. SOY! :wtf:

Hey! Dummy. Seen the price for soybeans lately? Know why?

Every body is putting in corn. Seen the price of corn lately? Less field space for beans , wheat and alfalfa. Morons.

I think Stevenumbers is 'way too straight for him.  Legally recognized or not where 'He' is, snotport claims to live in a marital-type relationship with another dude.  If I recall correctly, he plays catcher on the team, if so it's  certainly consistent with his gushingly effeminate posting style.

Buy store brands, that's what we do on high priced items.

Wait for the stuff to go on sale and use a coupon.   :-)

Publix sends a $5 coupon in the mail every week, and that's the only one I ever use.
To me, that's extreme couponing.

We used to have a neighbor who had whole room in her basement taken up with coupon files and planning.

A couple of week ago, Harbor Freight had their 2-1/2 ton floor jack on sale. Regularly 129.99 on sale for 79.99. They let me use the 20% off coupon on top of the sale price.

I still haven't taken it out of the box.

They never, ever mention this.  I guess they enjoy assuring that some people are more equal than others when it comes to unions.  Snout shouldn't be complaining about paying for his union buds selfish demands.  In fact, he should be happy and willing to pay for Nilla's since it keeps union folks employed.  What a heartless bastard.

I have a Harbor Freight and a Northern Tool within 5 miles of the house. All I have to do for HF is check the NRA magazine or the readers digest for coupons.
Wish Northern would do that.

Listen to him gripe about household finances and crying poor.  Just a couple weeks ago, somebody posted a plea over there to please donate to Moveon.org, in order to "get rid of Fox News."  He piped up and claimed to give $20.

That's what its afraid of. During one teacher conference, they read aloud some comments posted by some queer teacher and he knew they were going to link the comments to him.

Whole thing was a bouncy anyway, but his paranoia isn't. That's real.

To dovetail with another thread, I wonder what the DUmmies would think about grocery prices if President 0bama just printed more money (ala DUmmy Manny Goldstein)?  Those Nilla Wafers would be about $10 a box.

Uh, more than ten bucks, sir, if the Big Zero did that, just printed more money.

I speak from experience here, from those years wandering around the socialist paradises of the workers peasants, and I saw this first-hand, fiat money.

The month I got there, the Ukrainian karbovanets, which had originally been issued at 2 for 1 American dollar, were selling 47 for 1 American dollar.

And then it went downhill after that.

After I'd been there about three months, it was up to 48,000 for 1 American dollar.

After I'd been there about six months, it was up to 275,000 for 1 American dollar.

I no longer remember what it was a year later, but I learned "a trillion" before the Big Zero acquainted us with that particular number.

In the meantime, wages didn't go up too; they stayed what they had been since August 1991.

If my good friend and pal Manny had his way, and the Big Zero just printed more money, pretty soon the well-paid snout primitive couldn't even buy a pair of shoelaces with his enormous teacher's salary.
