Never heard of that brand... Time to do a 'net search.

Yeah, it's a definite step down. I always liked the Costco one a lot.. but I guess I'll switch back to TJ's brand again

Sucks...oh well, at least ppl got alternatives.

Still searching the 'net on that brand.... Some people at the Chowhound site seem to like it... :victory:

Oh yeah? I seek that place out too sometimes when I'm looking for reviews on restaurants or recommendations.

LOL.

Vital Choice is like a premium/gourmet brand... Like Omaha Steaks or Lobel's of New York. :sweat:

Yeah I stumbled upon it....don't get me wrong I don't buy it a lot....in fact I haven't made a purchase in several months, maybe near a year.

Yeah Lobel's steaks are crazy expensive...albeit good. I haven't ordered from them in forever....when I want steaks I just get them from Mitsuwa...they're prime or Angus whichever you prefer...small in size and reasonably priced compared to some of those really fancy online purveryors.

Or you could always go to Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, or Gelson's...which is more expensive of course.

Regarding the salmon, I bought two 24 can cases (comes out to a little under 4 bucks a can) a long time ago and have still been eating from that stockpile....maybe a can every week or two.

Whoa, at those prices you can't really gorge yourself without going broke.

Healthy, but broke. :beaten:

Speaking of which, ever since I've been eating more fresh veggies, fruit, and clean proteins, by grocery bill has gone up quite a bit... Go figure. :sweat:

No shiet...it's cheaper to eat crap....that's our country. Can't beat veggie prices at Costco. For example at a regular market asparagus costs 2-3 dollars a pound, at Costco....2.5 lbs for 4 bucks.

When they changed 5 servings of fruit and vegetables to 5 of each, I knew it was a conspiracy by the evil produce conglomerate! :rolly:

price of food in general has gone up an average of 15% over the last year. if you haven't already seen the price of bread go up, you will soon.

Yeah, they were talking about it on the news today... The price of wheat appears to have tripled... :sweat:
