I've never understood the whole "vegan" thing, e.g., who could possibly resist a big medium-rare New York steak? As for the prices... these items were in the "organic" case at Wally-World, which automajically adds 20% to the cost of anything and everything.
Ya can the real stuff at TJ's a whole lot cheaper. That said, I still will only drive to Redding no more often than once a week ...if I can help it. I have to be really desperate to go to Wally's.
My experience with Wally's is the hamburger, milk, and pickles are all fine, but everything else is suspect. I often see TV dinners in the candy section, and you know damn well they put it back in the freezer 4 hours later...
Otherwise I pay the 20% more for stuff at other stores. I find myself shopping at dollar stores for soda pop now. You can usually get 2 liters for $1, even though I'm not supposed to have high-fructose anything anymore :-)
@ Mouse: My Wally-World is pretty good. I've never seen anything I'd consider egregious there. Well, mebbe a couple o' BIG-assed cashiers, but other than that? Nada.
I just can't imagine eating meat that is meatless. It's one of the reasons I'd never survive as a vegetarian - I like meat. Period.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is, that vegans are not getting off the planet alive either...
ReplyDeleteP.S. Those prices are outrageous! (officer prices)...
