Prices!!!

On 10/31/22, Walmart had their chicken wings for $2.99/lb and right next door at Sam's, the wings were $2.88/lb. Of course, both had thighs and drums priced much less than the wings. With thighs in my freezer, I did get the wings from Sam's.

[Huskee]

That's a great deal. I try to snag up to 10lb Member's Mark frozen wings from Sam's when on sale.

I don't want to pour gas on this again, because I think a few nights ago several of us had other things going on, and it came out here. But I've had this on my mind since last Saturday. Earlier in this thread there were comments that people didn't care about what happened in the past, all they wanted to know was the present. (obviously, I'm paraphrasing) But Sunday I preached from the well known book of Habakkuk, who wrote of his vision 2600 years ago. I also mentioned Martin Luther who 500 years ago read what Habakkuk wrote, and had a light bulb go off. Habakkuk was living through a very difficult time in his nation's history. If you read the book, it sounds very much like today. So what was the vision, what was the vision Habakkuk was to tell the people? (in fact he was supposed to write in on a billboard, so people running by could read it) Times are tough, but the tough times will come to an end. Some of the greatest developments in the Jewish theology (their relationship with God, and each other) came out of the impending exile Habakkuk was expecting. Tough times are going to come. The difference in how we come through it depends on whether we spend our time whining about it, and blaming others for it, or if we look to the future, learning from the past, and work to get through it together. And we will get through it. We always have. Evil does not rule forever, good will overcome in the end. That's why I'm an optimist. I know things are going to get better.

holehogg Not MLK Jr. The Martin Luther who lived 500 years ago and helped start the Protestant movement.

[ofelles]

thanks Bogy. This too will pass.

[Murdy]

Well said Bogy.

holehogg -- too old for MLK; Martin Luther (i.e., Lutheranism), on the other hand, lived about 500 years ago.

Great discussion that kinda took a hard turn for a bit so rather than shut it down I went in with an axe rather than a scalpel and hacked off some of the contentiousness. If you lost a clever comment in my chopping, sorry.

[Bogy]

Glad to see my most cleverest comments are still there!

[Panhead John]

Damn, lost some of my best work there…..😢

If anybody cares anymore, wings were on sale yesterday at Meijer in the Chicago area for $2.99 per pound.

[Huskee]

Thanks! I don't live there but my wife is going to our Meijer (and Sam's and Aldi) today so if it's a national thing I will have her check and stock up if so.

[Huskee]

Wife informed me Sam's has their Member's Mark frozen wings 10lb bag on sale $6 off for $23.98 which is $2.40/lb. They are great, they are my personal favorites thus far.

The chicken wings can't be THAT expensive. They are, after all, in value packs!!
