Still cooking from the stockpile and honestly, it’s scary what I have a few months in. This is a combination of two bags of frozen shrimp, three packets of Pad Thai simmering sauce, dried seaweed cut into strips, fresh basil, chunky peanut butter, a can of coconut milk, ginger and garlic plus umami (from a tube). I also tossed in a package of udon noodles and let them cook in the sauce. PITA is scarfing it down and just gave me a thumbs up, so it must be okay.

Are you once again going to the grocery store as often as you were before the coronavirus pandemic? Or are you still trying to avoid it, and going grocery shopping as little as possible?
It could depend where you live.
With certain parts of the country less hard-hit by the virus than others, and certain grocery chains doing better about ensuring shopper safety than others, some Americans are getting back to their regular grocery shopping routines more swiftly than residents of other regions are. Here’s the Coupons in the News article; the part that creeps me out is they use the Google location tracker to determine where you’re going and when.
It’s not easy building a stockpile from scratch. If you didn’t already have a good supply of nonperishables and personal care products before the coronavirus pandemic came along, you probably do now. But with lockdown restrictions beginning to ease – what are you going to do with all of those beans and bottles of water you thought you were going to need to survive for the next few months or years? Here’e the Coupons in the News article.
Quaker Oats is retiring the more than 130-year-old Aunt Jemima brand and logo, acknowledging its origins are based on a racial stereotype. Here’s the short CNN article here. Did not know the logo was based on a woman born into slavery.
Bargain-hunting grocery shoppers know you can often get a good deal in the meat department by looking for clearance-priced packages nearing their expiration dates. But how often do you do the math, to make sure you’re getting as much of a bargain as advertised?
One Florida man who took a close look at the clearance price tags at Walmart concluded he wasn’t getting much of a bargain at all – so now Walmart has agreed to a nationwide settlement that could reimburse him, and shoppers across the country, millions of dollars.
The proposed settlement comes just over a year after shopper Vassilios Kukorinis filed a federal lawsuit, saying that the unit prices and sale prices of meat he purchased at Walmart didn’t match up. From at least February 2015 to the present, he claimed, Walmart “advertised false unit prices for weighted goods placed on sale close to their respective expiration dates.”
Consider the package of chicken tenders that he bought in 2018 (pictured above). It weighed 1.18 pounds and sold at a unit price of $5.78 per pound. That made the original selling price $6.82. When the expiration date approached, Walmart put a yellow sticker on it, reducing the unit price to $3.77 per pound. That should have made the selling price $4.45. Instead, the “sale price” was $5.93.
Kukorinis might have just written it off as an isolated case of bad math. But over a period of several months, he visited a dozen Florida stores and said he found similarly-mispriced packages of chicken, fish, beef, pork and other weighted products. He and his attorneys investigated further, and said they “identified these pricing practices throughout the United States, including multiple stores located in California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, and other states.” Here’s the interesting article from Coupons in the News.
Some people love them, others hate them. But Walmart is hoping to find out for sure what its customers think, as it tests out a store with no cashiers, and self-checkout machines only. And if reaction is positive, the same system could ultimately roll out to Walmart stores across the country.
The test is taking place at a Walmart Supercenter in Fayetteville, Arkansas, not far from Walmart’s home base of Bentonville. Gone are the traditional checkout lanes where you unload your items onto the belt and a cashier scans and bags your items one by one. In their place are a bank of self-checkout machines, with store staffers ready to assist anyone who has a large order, has trouble working the machines, or just prefers having some human interaction at the checkout. Here’s the article from Coupons in the News.
