    I think paying $1.79 for a 35-cent can of green beans is just insane. I see these seniors come into Vons towards the end of the month and check out all the clearances and put food in their small hand baskets and then set it down again and one of them will take out their calculator to see if they have enough $$ to buy everything before they go to the register. Or they will gaze over the 50% off meat selection and sigh because THESE prices are still too high.

    Maybe it’s time for some of them to go qualify for commodities or order Meals on Wheels. There’s no shame in that, especially if you’re 80.

    I’ll be d@mned if I’m gonna pay $4.49 for a gallon of milk or $3.49 for a dozen eggs. You’ve GOT to be kidding! And I’m nowhere near 80!

    And we don’t even live in a “food desert” here :={

    Ruin the economies of scale some products rely on the keep prices down and you could end up driving prices up!

    I agree food prices are up and up by quite a bit. One tip if you are around the Encinitas or Oceanside area at all is Smart & Final Plus, where you can buy vegetables at 1/2 the price of Vons, Ralphs etc and IMO nicer stuff.

    Thanks, GH. I’m in South County and go to Grocery Outlet for cheaper fresh fruit/veg (some bagged but all good). Also I know several people who will take me to the Navy Commissary at least once a month. Both of these places are LESS than 1/2 the price of Vons, Ralph’s or Albertsons.

    Also there is a “day-old” Oroweat bakery outlet nearby.

    It’s not all bad at Ralph’s. This morning, there were 4.5 lb FF Roasters for $3.59 on clearance and 20 extra large eggs for $1.99 on clearance. I only got the chicken but if you can shop on weekday mornings right after they put the markdowns out, you score! Who cares about a bent can or taped up box! This usually happened in the “shelf stocking” procedure.
