Ate a can of Campbell's chunky soup. I don't really like that brand. Kinda stinks like dog food mixed with tomato soup. I'm not real sure what the "meat" chunks in it are made of but they don't taste like beef to me. Progresso is way better but hey. Either way I's a meal and I didn't have to spend hours cooking to obtain it.

You can tell it's doing not good things in my gut. My farts always smell like burned rubber after I eat this soup.

I think probably they have to throw a lot of sprouts away so they have to charge more for them to make up for it. I'm always a bit reluctant to buy sprouts because I don't know how long they've been there. I never see anyone buying them. Or even looking at them.

Beef ramen. :lol

I scored big on the ramen this time. I forgot to put a note on the ramen on my last order that it was OK to buy individual packs. So I had 3 12 packs on there last time and the shopper didn't get any ramen because they only had the individual ones and I guess my mom's old cell phone doesn't get texts fast enough. So yay! I can eat myself into a diabetic coma with all the ramen I got.

The Costco ones have always been especially and oddly cheap, and it persisted despite the pandemic and supply chain/inflation issues. $3 for one. No clue why though since they have to be losing money selling those. They're cheaper than a whole uncooked chicken. While the grocery stores have the rotisserie chickens for about $10.
They do it to get people in the store. They know if they get people in there, they'll probably buy more than a chicken. I would assume they make up what they lose by being shifty in other areas that wouldn't be noticed by customers. They're very shrewd in a way that doesn't really bother people.

I have noticed lately that their checkout people are not as on the ball as they used to be. And many of them will be sluggishly processing their customers while chatting with their friends (And even occasionally stopping and holding things for like half a minute while they laugh and talk). Probably because of the growing number of self-checkouts. Pretty sure it was a pretty sweet job (if you could get it) before self-checkout started taking off. They probably see the days of their jobs are numbered.

Oh Really? How come? Ive never thought that 🙂 i wonder what it would be like to have a hot burger though as the ones I get are only just warm.
Well, I guess some people like their buns but I hate them. :LOL:

Probably the reason the burgers you get are only just warm is they are probably already made and wrapped well before you ordered one. You can ask them to make you one fresh. They won't like it but they'll do it if you ask.
