Either way I’m not eating it. Just like Wally World meat no butchers all prepackaged and you can taste the preservatives looks good but taste bad.

While attending school on the GI Bill in La Crosse word got around I knew how to clean ducks and leave skin on without any fuzz. These well to do hunters from somewhere got me a milkbox and said they'd pay me whatever it was back then to clean their ducks, bag 'em, freeze 'em, and they'd call and let me know when they were coming back through so I could leave their birds in the milkbox on the porch. Then I'd come home and find money in an envelope. Worked for me and must've worked for them.

Cheap feeds must be the difference the stores must sell at a loss if they sell for under a dollar is what my Hoot buddy says. I always offer him good eggs just to see the look on his face.

Grandmother had a juicer and fresh carrots in her garden I loved carrot juice seen a vending machine years later that had canned carrot juice in it. No idea what it tasted like but it was not a carrot it tasted more like the can it came in. Nasty Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst

They used up less space than the 6 pack styro carton in our shoebox-sized refrigerator. And they saved some time after 12+ hours on the job... I know... Lazy. Lol But I'm pretty sure the eggs we bought were just eggs... not virtue signals in a bag. Mike One man with a gun may control 100 others who have none. Vladimir Lenin

Cheap feeds must be the difference the stores must sell at a loss if they sell for under a dollar is what my Hoot buddy says. I always offer him good eggs just to see the look on his face. The fresh ones taste WAY better. True about yolk color. Whenever I need eggs , I go next door to my neighbor , I buy him bags of feed to exchange the deal. One thing too , fresh eggs , when you hard boil them , the shell sticks like glue. I've tried every trick in the book to make them peel easy but it's just because they are fresh. When I need hard boiled eggs I buy raw eggs from the supermarket and boil them myself. They don't stick because they are old , can be 3-6 months old. A lot of people don't know that the eggs in the market are that old. NRA benefactor member

I worked the food bank for a while , if it wasn't a package that could be opened and heated it was often left. potatoes , beans , meat that was frozen as it was about to expire there was actual a lot of , but people didn't know how to use it. there was always a pallet of pinto beans in Mylar bags that you could basically take as much as you wanted and occasionally some one took a bag. t America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Those things would sell out in a heart beat here !! At that price I'll bet the local store would sell at least 100 bags in the first 8 hours. One "fresh" egg here cost 50 cents....but there haven't been any eggs at all for the last three weeks.... until yesterday. I would not choose to eat them but the majority would IMO. Mean As Nails

My consumption of hard boiled eggs.is limited to when I'm at a salad bar. Hardly a measure of ambition. formerly posting as white dog
