if you want to find the KKK they are mainly in the south....

I find it intriguing when phaz0rs said he thinks its good work ethic to wake up early to get working....I have relatives that brag about how they started to go to work young at age 15 years old....what they don't realize is bragging about having a job at a young age just tells people that your family is poor.

the really rich people just pass wealth down to their kids and their kids never really have to work a day in their lives.

Once I met a guy who is a brilliant engineer for a large oil company,he does not get along with his father and seldom go home,why?
He is from Georgia,USA and his father owns cotton fields and have blacks working for him,as his eldest son,his father wanted to groom him early,when he as 7 years old,he has to manage his business and discipline the blacks,his son was too young to take on such role,they called him young master and he has to punish them .
well at 16 he enrolled in Georgia TEch and major in petroleum engineering,work for oil company,his father never forgive him.
so you can be rich and start work early,

You must not know the real rich people,chatting online with so called Rich??
Rich people expect their kids to inherit their business,some kids do very well,surpassing their fathers and grandfathers,they learn early at the dinner table what business is all about and attend college and have a successful career.
Some kids have no interest in business,they squander the family wealth,it takes all kind of people to make the world interesting.

I am looking for someone to adopt me, a homemaker who loves to cook using fresh ingredient,I will come to his/her house and sit in the kitchen and eat what is served,I dont like too much seasoning,fresh ingredient comes with its own seasoning,
I dont mind eating with the rest of the family,I will keep my mouth shut as long as they dont squable among themselves.
I will pay the homemaker well,it will be hers and she can do whatever she wants with the money

This is still not a lot,cant imagine food is cheaper in UK than USA.
I am preparing an Angus chuck roast $ 2.88 a lb,2,70 lb comes to $7.78.it was on sale.

It aint easy to get good beef these days,when it is on sale,I will go and buy enough .
We have Kroger,it is busy spending money online so it can compete with AMZN,I dont shop at Walmart,but the other day I walk into Target,it is impressive ,lots of frozen food if you are single you will like shopping there.

chuck roast is ready to be served !

Walmart don't play retail tricks like you're talking about. Grocery store chains like to jack up prices right before putting an item on "sale". Walmart's every day prices on most meats are lower than the sale prices of popular grocery stores. I'll never consider going anywhere other than Walmart for meat, really. Dollar rules all for me.

we dont have a WMT closeby,the last time I was at WMT,their seafood section smell,then I heard they close it,then the fresh produce aint that fresh.
But I have not stepped foot in WMT for years,same with TGT,recently went there and impressed with their layout,few fresh produce but lots of frozen stuff.

Oh yeah, those rich people that got money from their parents, are such amazing people.... I don't give a **** how rich I am, my kid is going to work, from an early age. Maybe you should take a look at what happens to inherited wealth. Majority of the rich today, didn't inherit ****. That, should tell you something. Only 16% of millionaires inherited more than $100k. Only 3% a million or more.

The north, "got the **** straight".. Yeah. Ok. Kinda like first world nations got their **** straight, using carbon credits. So, you get the benefits, yet get to pretend that you aren't actually responsible for anything, while letting everyone else do all the dirty work. You DO sound like a rich person indeed.

As far as Black Americans. Want to know why the south had the peace loving Martin Luther King, and the north had the angry militant "fight the power!", Malcom X? Sure as **** wasn't because the north was nice to former slaves.

[phaz0rz]

There's really no point trying to talk logically with a 14 year old.

I used to do this same thing when I was 12-15. I acted like I was an adult online to mess with people, but many times it became obvious I was a kid due to my lack of experience and my misinformed childish opinions. Keep up the good work h4ck. Hope you're successful some day.

would be funny if a father owned a porn business and demanded his son learn to work for him as an actor to understand the importance of work ethic lol

The father would deserve to be charged with child abuse.

God.
Damn.
You're.
Dumb.

You reckon the rich got rich by NOT busting their ass from a very young age?

I hope you're not allowed to vote. Or procreate.

why buy any meat at all..just stand in line at the food bank down on skid row....take the bus a monthly bus pass is cheaper than paying for gas and insurance. why buy new clothes? can buy plenty of used clothes at goodwill.
eww new furniture? lets go down to the salvation army we can get everything for 75 percent off retail price used......why go to harvard or yale for school? we can just home school you instead....

sounds like we are living life right here.........

i ran out of toilet paper phaz0rs.....no problem...



problem solved.

[phaz0rz]

Wasn't saying anything to you h4ck but thanks for the input


Bad troll. Only speak when you're spoken to.

[agent006140]

went shopping yesterday,it used to have deals like buy 5 items save $5,now it is buy 10,save $5.
10 items dont have to be identical,but advertised as buy 10 save $5-like coffee,creamer,tomato sauce,apple sauce etc

What I found interesting is that the Dollar Stores (i.e. Dollar Tree, 99 Cent, Dollar General, etc) don't always have the lowest prices. Sometimes when comparing unit-to-cost or price per pound you can save a lot more at the big warehouse clubs (Costco, Sams, BJ's, etc) or even Walmart can beat the $1 stores.

Just stay out of stores like Whole Foods, or many of the largest chains (Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, etc) which can get you good on things to rip you off.

Somehow I think that Agent shops at the Farmers Markets.

[agent006140]

I shopped at Kroger because it is closest ,KR has been spending too much money on ecommerce,some of the items are no longer offered in store.
Their prices are higher but better quality,I know what you are talking about 99 cents only stores ,canned goods from brand names you have never heard of ,from foreign countries.
I would not buy anything I put in my mouth from those stores.
BTW,Kr MILK stay fresh after 1 month,or more,I am so shocked.
But I have been poisoned by their custard pie which they did not remove after 1 year,bagged spinach which should be recalled and Haaz Das ice cream which melt and put back into the freezer.
Other than that,I have no problem shopping at KR,I dont shop at WMT,TGT does not have much selection in fresh produce.
But going from buy 5 save $5 to buy 10 save $5 is a big change,would you agree>
what is up?,

Kroger is mostly regional, located mainly in the Central & Mid-South Regions. Out in the west we have mostly Safeway, Albertsons, Von's, Ralph's, etc.

In Texas they also have H-E-B, and it is, without a doubt one of the cleanest and most well stocked stores I have seen, despite having a lower cost than many competitors. Also I like Publix in the Southeast & Florida. It's pretty good, too.

The Walmarts here in CA are very low staffed and full of Mexicans that can't speak English, so can be challenge to get help sometimes. They also have a bad habit of stocking the shelves during business hours which blocks the aisles and makes it hard to navigate the store. Sometimes it's just faster and cheaper to go run into a Smart & Final or specialty store and pay a little more for the convenience, esp. if I'm pressed for time. That's one of the realities of living in California.

[agent006140]

HEB is messy due to traffic and the vast selection they have to offer,some like hominy,the white corn,no one stocks it anymore,but HEB does,also some said they dont like the way they set up the aisles.
But on weekend,traffic is so dense,items sell fast so you can always count on getting produce fresh,it owns shrimp boats which catch shrimps in the Gulf,you can get fresh shrimps with heads on during season.
KR does own a local chain on the West COAST,something which sounds like Ralph's??
It also bought Harris Teeter in the south,it is a very nice store,but only active in Carolinas and neighboring states.
We have an Asian supermarket which sells grass fed beef,fresh duck eggs
