This Inflation Thing Has Gone Too Far......SPAM Doubles In Price

[Dekster]

More questions. Is spam liverwurst? If not what is liverwurst and also mincemeat?

No they are not the same. spam is processed pork leftovers ground up and pressed into a loaf form. Liverwurst is usually beef or pork liver that goes through a similar process. You are more likely to see Braunschweiger in stores in the US than liverwurst. It is smoked liverwurst. Usually in a roll like sausage somewhere around the lunch meat section. Mincemeat is mostly dried fruit, some kind of booze to re-hydrate it and beef suet or vegetable shortening. And beef suet, before you ask, is a type of crumbly fat from specific parts of a cow. Mincemeat used to be made from meat but not anymore.

better to buy online. It way cheaper.

How do you figure?

Costco......8 cans....$21.00 ($2.62 a can)

Your online prices........

$3.50 X 8 = $28.00

12 can case $39.00 = $3.25 a can.

Plus I got two large rotisserie chickens while I was there. Six meals for two at $1.66 for each meal....Cheaper than SPAM.

What are you Filipino?

Only people I know that eat Spam are Filipino’s!!!

Anyhoo, I noticed the cost of eggs have almost doubled in a few months, so come one Biden, Pelosi and Schumer let win big in November!!!

Around $4.25 for a 18 count package of medium eggs.....My daughter in Virginia Beach said it was over $5.00 for a 18 count package.

Thanks that was very informative. All sounds comparable to hot dogs. While I think its gross, I know people eat hot dogs uncooked.

Everybody has their things I guess. People think it is gross that I put mustard on pizza and mayo in pinto beans. I thought it gross my dad liked gravy on cantaloupe. I haven't eaten spam since my last dog died. She liked the stuff which was only reason I bought it. Am not a fan. I do like to fry Braunschweiger with some onions from time to time in the winter months. I like liver. Always have. I would rather have fried chicken livers than fried chicken LOL.

Hawaiins are supposed to be the biggest spam consumers out there.

They were like $1.57 a dozen here yesterday so maybe the odd quantity is part of the price.

My Dad used to like Spam. I never saw the allure of it...

$2.98 for 18 count large eggs in Jackson, TN last week.

For some reason large eggs are less expensive.....I only buy medium as they tend to have a better flavor as far as store-bought eggs go.....My local pawn shop has a guy that brings in fresh eggs which are far superior for $1.25 a dozen with a carton turn-in.

Hmmm. Had never known or recognized difference in taste on white medium vs white large eggs, though knew difference between white and brown eggs.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

There are good eggs and bad eggs.
The Wife buys these fancy eggs and they taste far better than say a grocery store brand.

On Spam...
it's not something I eat very often but it's great for long term food storage.
If you cant find the low sodium stuff you can slice the regular stuff into 1/4 inch thick slices and simmer them for around 5 minutes and allow them to soak for another 5 minutes.
This will pretty much remove all the salt.
Saw this on a YouTube video a couple of days ago when the Wife brought home three cases of the stuff for prepper supplies.
She also picked up 4 of the big canned hams for the same reason.

How exactly do people cook spam? It looks like cat food.

I make musubi with it, or loco moco.

But they are cooked - most hot dogs are just balogna though I prefer the term "tube steak".
But if by uncooked you mean not heated, then yeah, not a fan.

Culpeper? It's in the most forgotten area of Virginia I can think of with one.

We have a ALDI, they have really good sales.

This wasn't a sale. Aldi and Lidl have cheap prices on basic things like milk, eggs, flour, sugar, spices. I live on the southern border about smack in the middle between your daughter and the Great State of Tennessee. I prefer Aldi once I am in the door, but our closest one is in a PITA spot so I go to Lidl a few blocks away but far quicker to get into and out of.
