Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Am l really the first? I noticed today Chocolate Milk is $6.29 a gallon and a steak sub is $16 at Sheetz. That’s just crazy!
I haven’t paid attention to food prices because I’m only eating meat & eggs, occasionally dairy. I’m getting my eggs locally $4.00 a dozen. Most of the meat has been in the freezer months and we buy clearance meat. I buy no hormone organic milk so I’ve paid at least $5.00 for several years. Before the diet change I noticed some food prices were going down. But any take out food has been ridiculous a long time. Last summer my husband, daughter and baby went to Hardee’s. Three biscuits and two drinks was about twenty dollars. I don’t understand how families can continue to pay for fast food. Especially people making minimum wage. My daughter was telling us about co worker going to Taco Bell I don’t remember what she got but it was the $5.00 box my daughter and husband got for probably over ten years straight. It was twenty dollars. Dang you can buy burger, seasoning pac & wraps for less than that and get more food. For the two of us we barely pay $20.00 at Mexican restaurant because we always split plates.
Check out Tucker’s video buying groceries in Russia. It wasn’t expensive like it is here.
I saw Tucker’s video. Infuriating. Every day l see more posts about people moving into their cars.
