I don't know as I would call it a low flavor profile, but it generaly
is a simpler less complex profile for the average food. They have
fancy ones, but the basics eaten are fresh (very fresh) veggies with a
bit of dashi and sparkle of something else minimally added. Fish
saucing can be complex but you make it in a jar for the next 2 weeks
and brush fish with it.

Thats a lot of what I recall. Umami, about balance.

Haven't seen 99 cents a dozen yet, although they're not too far over
$1. Rent is high here, so that's probably why.

Yes, Texas is a lower cost state.

The cost of refrigeration must be more than the savings?

I can buy large eggs all year at 99¢/doz... chickens don't know what
date it is, they just keep laying.
I don't use ground turkey but if that's what I wanted I'd grind it
myself and turkey was 49¢/lb for Thanksgiving and doesn't cost much
more for Christmas and New Year. It's not that difficult to bone out
the part one wants to grind and then roast the rest.

You have such a nice spread, Sheldon.
Why don't you have a few chickens there for daily eggs
and an occasional fresh chicken dinner?
You feed all animals and birds there anyway.

That's not true at all, at least here in my area.
Turkeys can be found at a very cheap price during
Thanksgiving but only then. They never go back on sale
for Christmas time and generally cost twice as much.

Yes, sort of like roses on Valentine's Day, the cost goes up considerably.

Old post aside....I most always eat on less tham $40 per week.
And that's good eats too, not cheap food. This for a single
person though, not a family.

All the 12 years that I had ferrets, their daily food probably
cost more than mine. I bought them the best. LOL I always put
them above me though. Ferrets rule, Gary was only the worthless
caretaker. :-D

They couldn't give me ground turkey.

At my local Food Lion (not a national chain) this morning, I
bought a package of 18 x-large eggs for $1.45 plus tax.

The last eggs I bought were 2.49 a dozen for jumbo eggs. They do have nice bright yellow yolks.

A purely BS story. There's no tax on eggs... may as well say you paid
tax on a bag of onions. Gary is probably mistaking the tax he paid
for TP for wiping his skanky ass.

Yep, onions are taxed too.
Unlike many states, Virginia collects sales tax on grocery and other
food items. However, the state has a lower tax rate on sales of food
than on other sales. The reduced rate is 2.5%, which is composed of 1.5%
going to the state and 1% to local governments.

_You_ don't pay tax on eggs. Or onions. But Gary doesn't live in New
York, he lives in Virginia, which _does_ tax groceries.

NYS taxes TP but no tax on food items... they tax sody pop and TP but
not food, certainly no tax on produce.

We have sales tax on most stuff here, but not groceries. It took just a
few seconds on Google to see that there is tax on food in Virginia.

I hate to burst your egg yolk Sheldon, but food is taxed here. That
means eggs, milk, butter, steaks, potatoes, celery, cereal, canned
goods, etc. But unlike New Yawk, we have no state income tax.

But the states that I did shop in have a state income tax. So, in
the end it all evens out. No need to move from one state to another
just because they do have a sales tax on food.

I think most states have a state income tax but very few have a sales
tax on food. However it doesn't even out as a tax on food penalizses
the less wealthy improportionatley.

Seven states do not have a state income tax. Thirty-two states
exempt most food purchased for consumption at home from the state
sales tax. That's a bit over half that do not have a sales tax
on food items.

It is my understanding, in TN (when I lived there, which was a long
time) the reasoning for sales tax on food was because no income tax.

There was a tax on on clothing, too. I went to visit my aunt in
Pennsylvania and bought a dress and was shocked - no sales tax! (That
was around 1980). Sorry, but I think food and clothing are necessities
and should not be taxed. But the laws vary from state to state and
sometimes county to county.

I was surprised to find there wasn't a tax on food here. In TN I seem
to recall something around 9.25%.

There is a 6% sales tax, but not on food.

Still is 9.25%. If they do away with the sales tax they'll just find
another tax for something else. People don't seem to realize when you
stop a tax on one item they've already researched what else can be taxed
in it's place or what can we jack the price up to in order to make up
for that lost revenue.

I don't know what you mean with free shipping for orders over $49, our
orders are well over $200. And their prices are far less than any
market, even less than Walmart. It's a pleasure having the order
delivered right to our door,,, 40 pound sacks of litter are no fun
lugging from the store.
