This is from a Smyrna, Delaware forum but you may be having the same problems in your area, just by changing the names of the stores mentioned.
Ok, people, as we all know gas prices have gone down to a somewhat reasonable price. When gas prices went up so did grocery prices but we haven't seen them coming down at all. Why is that? I am sure that their delivery trucks are paying a lower price for gas also.
Some of these grocery stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day for several hours, do not go there! Make sure that you have everything that you need for that day and even if you don't, surely you can do without that little item that you forgot to get. If your house is like ours we always have more food than we really need anyway.
The most reasonable place for a gallon of milk is Rite-Aid @$3.29.
Eggs are cheaper at the Amish farms, they don't sell on Sundays. Also, Walmart.
This may not have a lot of impact, but it will have some. Tell everyone that you know, DO NOT GO TO THE GROCERY STORE ON THANKSGIVING DAY!
Make them hurt, like we are hurting.
I hate store sales that tell the consumer, you must buy 5, you must buy ten etc. to get a deal. Many of the people that I know are having trouble buying just one of anything. Acme this week, Cake Mixes @ .49 each but you must buy ten, how many of you want 10 cake mixes at a time. You can go to the Dollar General and get a box of cake mix for $1.00. and you don't have to spend $5.00 to get it. Quaker Chewy Granola Bars are $2.50 at Dollar General and $3.49 at Acme. Of course they may not have all varities at the DG but I don't mind for the price. Liquid laundry detergents half the price at the dollar store.
Does anyone know if it is true that the Acme only hires part-time employees so that they don't have to pay benefits.
