I don't know about y'all, but if I'm eating, my dog's eating. I'll go to bread and water before he does without.
Joe will announce a new program soon. He'll DOUBLE the price but then cuts it down by Ten Percent causing all his voters to kneel in awe. Those ijiots of course don't realize that that Ten Percent goes to The Big Guy.
ReplyDeleteMy idiots get Purina Pro Plan, it was $48 for a long time for a 35 lb bag at TSC, then it jumped to 68, dropped a little for a while, last time it was 90 for a 47 lb bag, they were out of 35 lb, I am the same as you, they get fed if I do. I don't eat much, so they probably get more than me anyway
ReplyDeleteI have a 2-fer solution. Round up all the illegals, homeless and death row inmates grind 'em up and turn the remains over to Alpo, Gaines & Purina to can. That'd substantially drop the federal welfare cost and the price of dog food.
ReplyDeleteMy dog gets prescription food. Personally, I don't think she requires it, but WTF do I know? Started out a few years back at around $100 for a 25 lb. bag. In the last year or so, it's gone from $115 to $147. Luckily, I've had insurance on her since she was about a year old, and they cover it. Adding up the premiums and deductible, I'm pretty sure that none of the insurance companies I've had over her lifetime have made a dime off me.
ReplyDeleteBread and water, yep, doggos gotta eat. Of course there always are the neighbors.......
ReplyDeleteGlad I have a cat. /s (Those prices are up, too.)
ReplyDeleteCat food too.
ReplyDeleteSince coof, friskies case of cans went from under $20.00 to over $30.00
Causes? I'd guess the cost of energy to dry the Dry, and maybe simmer down the Canned, went up. That is one cost they will never let go back down as an excuse. Input cost for rendered meat sources have to be up (otherwise the human consumption markets wouldn't be as strong as they are). Mars learned that you have to have many dispersed locations, rather than a couple centralized big ones, because freight is a HUGE cost. That has not improved since covid.
ReplyDeleteAnybody have an idea of how automated a plant can be? That would be a tipper- either you have higher labor costs, or you made a huge investment to replace labor, in which case BFYTW i'm not going to lower my price, i'm going to protect my profit margin for my stockholders.
