Maybe put some Duke’s mayonnaise on it.

1. Might as well...

I was looking to get some of my favorite mayo the other day.

In a St. Paul, Minnesota Cub... Duke's Mayonnaise: $11.95...

Duke's is not 'imported'... it is not made of gold...

Mayonnaise is twelve fucking dollars???

But, we have yet to do anything about this price gouging, so I will be going without it for now. Probably forever, since I cannot afford SIX dollar mayo, let alone FUCKING TWELVE DOLLARS for it!

(But, let's not even consider that unfettered capitalism (which knows no political party) is the cause of most of this crap. Let's just act like it has nothing to do with it.)

2. For how big a container?

Duke’s was a holdout; for a long time, they kept the jar size at 32ounces. Like Hellman’s, they’ve gone to a 30-ounce container too. That sells for four- or five-ish, maybe?

And good morning.

4. It was the only size that they had.

It was a large one. I do not recall the size/weight.

This is in Minnesota. Duke's is made in South Carolina.

For some reason, this means that Cub can charge eleven dollars for the fact that they have it here.

I really love Duke's mayo. But, not that much. Just wow.

And, a good morning to you as well!

3. Food industry profits are more than tripple the 5 years pre-pandemic.

A lot of this is actual price gouging ontop of the underlying inflation.
