Food has become extremely expensive

[Nuggler]

Once upon a time peanut butter had peanut oil in it. Now the more valuable peanut oil is extracted and then replaced with ****ty canola.

RU serious?? One of the multitude of stuffs I didn't know!!

Dang, and I really like my Skippy or the Kraft peanut butter teddy bears..............crunchy type.

Next you'll be sayin the crunchy stuff ain't really peanuts!!!

That alone should lead to a protest on Parliament Hill, pitchforks, and canola in the steets.

It's time folks. Grab a .22 and lead on. I'm right here behind ya.:glasses9:

Yeah, Olive oil, canola is 2nd. :smile:

Canola is far from being near the top 5

PB on a hamburger or sausage bun - Onions - Good mustard - Cold beer. SUUUMMMM Good

my daughter lives in ucluelet, and the co op is their only supermarket, prices are far too high there, but they have the monopoly, no competition, and people don't want to drive to port alberni.if I lived there I would shop every two weeks elsewhere, I would not pay them to rip me off.

Never shopped @ the Co-op but I have sent people there for things when we on a fishing trip and I was cooking-the stuff they came back with makes me shake my head.

What happened to good old "Squirrel Peanut Butter"?

Unilever bought Best Foods, and shortly thereafter no more Squirrel. Peanut butter made from 100% crushed peanuts is way better than the sugar and soy/palm oil mixtures with some peanuts sold as peanut butter.

I buy Adam's.

Eve's makes better cookies.

Another crushing blow to my insulated world, this thread has destroyed my favourite breakfast of peanut butter on toast. You health nuts have no hearts. Next I suppose you will dump on cheeze whizerd.

Have you ever had stir fried peanut butter cookies?

No...sounds intriguing though.

Yup. As prices have risen quality has plummeted.

No...sounds intriguing though.

1 cup PB, 1 egg, 3/4 cup brown sugar, mix then fry in butter until crumbly. Like most things they taste best cooked on a campfire.

In my hood the grumbling over food prices is beginning to drown out the grumbling over fuel prices, both compliment, alternately, the permanent grumbling over weather. Militant grumbling is our preferred Canadian form of protest.

Sorry Goober. Sounds gross and BTW - are you eating peanut butter or canola oil?

I think Squirrely is still around but it is full of sugar and hydrogenated oil. Oooops! Ton blew that out of the water!

As for Canola, you would get more and safer nutrition from squeezing your zits.

I buy Adam's.

Adams is good. Listen up people - start label reading. Look at some things like your 1% Cottage Cheese (Saputo, aka Dairyland) - and compare it to the 2%. (1/2 cup serving)

1% = 100 Calories 2% = 110 (not a big jump there)
1.5 g fat 2.5 g. fat
10 mg. Cholesterol 15 mg cholesterol
540 mg. SODIUM 530 mg SODIUM
4 g. SUGAR 1 g. SUGAR

Which one do you think is the healthiest. The 1% "Light" or the 2%? Don't be fooled by the word "light". Label read. It's important.

I've been looking at a new diet. Canola oil is a forbidden item. Actually - all margarines are too.

Enjoy!

Now you have just reminded me that I must go empty the trailer!!! Supposed to be sunny on Thursday. Seems like a good day. We have to winterize it too. They just said on the news that we will have a colder than usual winter this year.

 

[Cliffy]

And I forgot to get my case of peanut butter today. Damn! Tomorrow (if my brain is working by then).

Yep, I love peanut butter, onions and mustard but NOT in the same sandwich. :lol:

Compared to most of the world, the cost of food in Canada and the USA is very inexpensive. Yes, we bitch about it, but be thankful you don't live in India, most of Africa, Europe, etc.
