2022 in Washington, DC: "It's like a Soviet store."

[SOCOM42]

Speaking of prices…

I bought some kielbasa the other day to make a special meal for the extended family. I hadn’t bought it in awhile.

I usually could by a pack of 10 for about $7 or so. Now it’s a pack of 5 for $5. Couldn’t find the 10 pack. So basically it’s gone from $7 to $10.

It is called "downsizing", according to the bullshit handed out by the stores,

they claim the customers "prefer" the new packaging.

This is exactly what I was told by a manager!

Oh, yeah, he did not mention that the package was reduced by 30% but the price only by 10%.

I wonder how long until the masses start eating zoo animals, like in Venezuela?

What I have noticed the last several months: the Top Raman noodle isle is stripped bare, even in the bigger markets. They get some in, it's gone overnight. I think a lot of people who are waking up to a possible problem coming, are thinking that Cup O' Soup is all the preps one needs to cover their ass without having to think too much about it.

Good. A week or two in they will be so weak and hungry that they will be easy to defend against.

Still fat...the weak are meat, the strong will eat.

I gotta admit, I'm one of those assholes with the ramen. But I use it as filler with canned meat at work or especially if I'm in the woods for a couple days.
Hint:

Cook the ramen with as little water as necessary so as to not make soup.
Let stand until moisture is gone.
Stir fry canned shrimp in pan with peppers and onions in butter and a little garlic powder and
black pepper, coarse ground.
Add ramen and stir fry it until it becomes more tan or light brown.
Squeeze lemon on top.
(Rice may be substituted for ramen)

Significant other will be impressed, and reward you with carnal pleasure. Maybe.
