Gotta love that Amazon is trying to do what grocery stores what it did to bookstores: sell at a loss until you drive the competition out of business, then jack up prices.
I have mixed feelings, given the overall price gouging in the grocery industry, which retail stores are definitely colluding on. Many of the major stores are owned by the same parent companies. So they are evil, yes. But that doesn't mean being at the mercy of a billionaire's monopoly game is any better.

The Produce News: "...In the wake of cuts to federal food-safety programs, California leafy greens farmers are looking to assure consumers that mandatory, government-enforced food-safety practices are taking place on their farms every day...."

Doing without #food has helped my weight loss journey but not my diabetes. Thank you to Trump for making everything more expensive and making getting #groceries harder.
But at least he can continue to praise #nazis and everyone still supports him. It is sickening.
Here’s a nostalgia trip that might cause you to shed a few tears — Red Owl’s Giant Fall Harvest Sale! Or maybe it’s the Annual Fall Bargain Bazaar! Either way, it’s 5 pages of incredible savings found in the October 18, 1958 issue of The Dakota Farmer. #vintage #redowl #groceries #food #advertising #marketing #branding #brands
It's a convenient metric, since it also can be substituted with a #handbag, #briefcase, and a couple of bags of #groceries on the way home from the office, or a package to be dropped off at the post office for mailing.
Of course, in my case, I also would like to be able to #transport the smaller #suitcase and my #bass #guitar in her gig bag.
Not coincidentally, it's also about the same volume a child will occupy in a vehicle.

Fed's Powell says larger-than-expected tariffs likely to boost inflation, slow growth
Good morning Mastodonians!
#WSDOA put out this chart a while back, which shows which #Washington #produce is in season at a given time.
Sharing it here with an eye towards #MealPlanning under #Trump #tariffs, as a helpful #shopping guide.
This info can help you identify which #vegetables are likely grown in #WA, which of those are tasty and priced to move, and therefore which ones you can probably afford to buy.
I'll miss avocados.

So far the Fediverse has seen multiple reports of severe weather, tornadoes and flooding but nobody I've seen yet has included warning about evacuating livestock--Oklahoma's KOCO 5 breaks that mold by issuing a detailed warning to farmers to evacuate livestock and farm equipment to higher ground...which raises the question as to whether or not Texas even thinks in those terms.
Earlier prognostications for cattle has been low herd numbers because drought diminished grazing fields as well as hay production for the winter...now we have a flooding threat. And you thought chickens were a problem.
please help a #disabled, #queer woman with #groceries, menstrual products, transit fare, utilities, & medical #bills. she's really been struggling. anything helps!
$0/33 needed ASAP
I am always excited when the grocery store I do my primary shopping at actually has a good quality green sauce cause apparently they just aren't popular in Northwest ROA as MOST of the grocery-style stores in the area at most will have one or two cheap green options if even that.
Cholula Green is my favorite affordable green sauce so I was ecstatic to see it for about 70 cents off today. Will go perfect with the frozen white chicken pizza I got.
I used to word "groceries" probably 3 times today. I'll use it much more when it's grocery shopping day. I have a list that says "groceries". I had no idea how old-fashioned I was. #Groceries #OrangeJulius
in the last 3 months my grocery expenses for 2 people have risen 38.4% compared to last year, "liberation day" tarrifs are all about liberating you from your money
