With the cost of gasoline at near $4.00 per gallon and hamburger meat going at $3.00 or more per pound sometimes my wife and I just go window shoppin’ in the Meat department and remember when we thought meatloaf was a cheap meal. If things keep goin’ up I might be up in that tree with Phil and Chester.

Meat is so expensive I eat Hamburger Helper, minus the Hamburger.

Yeah, we used to eat meat loaf…now we just eat loaf. We eat a lot of jam sandwiches, two pieces of bread jammed together.

I know what you mean Bo. It’s gotten so bad I’m startin’ to eyeball the dog and make sure he stays fattened up just in case.

All the dogs around here are lookin’ pretty poorly…and scared. Have you priced dog food lately? Mine used to eat table scraps when we had them. They too are a thing of the past.

Meat. Mmmmm….it’s gotten so the meat is costing more than the pot I’m cooking it in.
April 24, 2012 at 11:57 am |
And you don’t have to replace the pot every time you cook…unless you are a very bad cook.

Ain’t that the truth. We got 5 large cans of dog food on special for 9 bucks the other day. It don’t look too bad either, Plus you get veggies & rice included. Angus & Dixie better guard their food well…

If you mix a little mayonaise with it and add some seasonin’ it might not be too bad.

Sounds good to me. Or I could add chilli sauce & put it in taco shells

Alpo Tacos might be okay. Let me know if you try it.

Hubby and I just went down the memory lane in the market the other day….eating that red meat was sure the good ole days.
April 25, 2012 at 7:32 am |
Yep, I remember red meat well. Didn’t we used to have something that was called steak?

Red meat is bad for you anyway, so consider it a way to better health!

You like chocolate….I like red meat. We can still get along can’t we?
April 25, 2012 at 7:23 am |
It is becoming more difficult to make ends meat.
April 25, 2012 at 7:33 am |
And we wind up eating the meat ends.

Seems like pretty much everything goes up right along with energy costs.
Including my blood pressure.

Ain’t that the truth Robert.

We have a specialty: Poke-n-grits.
Poke your feet under the table and grit your teeth, ‘cuz there ain’t nothin’ to eat.
Red.

We call it Poke-Roll-n-Grits. Poke your feet under the table, roll your eyes, and grit your teeth.
May 4, 2012 at 11:41 am |
And to make it worse, vegetables are about to cost just as much now
May 5, 2012 at 2:39 pm |
They are already a lot more expensive than they used to be.
May 15, 2012 at 12:51 pm |
I’m sure Phil and Chester will welcome you with open wings, or maybe beaks? Just don’t take a nap up there. :`D
May 16, 2012 at 7:20 am |
I can’t even take a nap on my porch without them flyin’ circles over my head.
