Got it. Figured things in Russia couldn't be like here. But would think there was some stability with peoples daily lives. And thinking that their government has been directing tons of money and resource to their war. Leaving their citizens to absorb the losses of normal, what ever that is, Russian life.

Their situation certainly isn't caused wholly by their war in Ukraine but it has definitely accelerated their path to complete ruin.

They went right to freezer. With all the salt and preservatives in the ham it will last. Beggars can't be choosers.

Edit: The 3 for $1.97 deal was at Bridgeport GO on Saturday. We also went to the king city GO on Saturday and they had the same ham with the same use by date for $4.77 a package.

It's pretty decent ham. I picked up 9 packs and left at least that many for the other poors. I am trying to get at least 150 grams of protein a day and boneless skinless chicken breast gets boring. Until my credit cards get paid off, I will be saving the grass fed rib eyes for you guys.

I appreciate that, but I raise my own! Got three goin' to butcher Wednesday morning.

It might be wise for consumers to stock up on certain items as well.
