I wish they'd figure out how to can Nathan's hot dogs.<br /><br />Since I've started buying things like Spam, I've also become aware of the price and thought it seemed pretty high. But is this a new phenomenon or has it always been high and we just didn't notice since we weren't buying it? I was also shocked, SHOCKED I say, when I discovered how much a jar of Armour (I think) dried beef cost. You know, the stuff you use in classic "sh*t on a shingle". I loved that gravy as a kid and it's hard to believe my Mom paid those premium prices for a jar of convenience meat.<br /><br />Hmmm....<br /><br />-SteveSteve and Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762481109499699377noreply@blogger.com
