    Aren't you in Vegas though? Different regions can have completely different meats and dairy.

    Yeah, but we get Idaho Potatoes and most store bought chicken is pretty much the same from what I understand. I honestly don't know where the milk comes from but it is fine. I think we get a lot of the same stuff you get.

    Don't even eat their beef. We get Sanderson chicken if that is the one with the white foam package but they sell some with yellow too.

    We average about 150 bucks a week in groceries and get a full cart. Albertsons would be 220 for the same and their beef isn't to die for either. Costco choice Ribeyes are great, I get the Prime ones every 4th or 5th time. I'm no expert but I can see the marbling difference between the two.

    Used to get them in Vancouver when they still had just a twist tie and weren't sealed. My mom would ship them.

    Have to say you're in the wrong as you introduced violence into what was merely a discussion.

    You probably shouldn't carry a gun, and maybe you're lucky he wasn't.

    The Winco in McMinnville is the best I've been to. They get some high-quality brand meats, too, from local producers.

    But yeah, I otherwise avoid meat there.

    Juanita's are good. We get those when needed. We have two taqueria/meat markets within a mile of us. Between the meat selection, salsa, tortillas and chips..... It's all better than anything at the grocery store, but Juanita's is always a backup staple.

    They have new to us anyway..flavored chips. I suspect they've had some quality control issues lately. Some batches were dry, some too salty. Overall they're still the best chips you can get.

    We were in line at a car wash and I tossed coffee on his car.
    The violence I introduce was extremely harsh, yes I understand. I damn near totalled his car and put him in the hospital.:huh:

    I never said I was in the right and two wrongs don't make a right, but when does it end? When is it right to take a stand against rude and selfish behavior?

    Agreed on the gun thing. I have several guns but don't carry them. I'm not unstable like that and if I had a gun in that instance I would not have pulled it without truly feeling like my life was threatened. I'm a big guy. Feeling that threatened doesnt happen often. ;)
    But what I cant control is others volatility and the weapons they carry and for this you are correct. I avoid the freeways and try to stay on the side roads for this reason. I don't want someone to road rage me and pull a gun out when I flip them off for using the exit lane to race ahead and then cut in front of me. lol.

    Seriously though. When is it right to make a stand rather than have to move on? Sometimes it feels like i'm just gonna move on into another situation with another rude prick. around the corner because they are everywhere.
    So when is it right to make a stand and say that's enough shut your fucking mouth you selfish rude POS, learn some manners and be fucking respectful of others!!!!


    You know what would save this world?
    Is if we all just tried being a little bit kinder to thy neighbor. And that doesn't mean neighbor at your residence. It means neighbor in line at the grocery store. Neighbor sitting across from you in class. Neighbor down the hall in your work office.

    But when you are being kind and don't get the rudeness back.. ohhh man, thats a hard one to just go with and not speak up.

    And I have to say, based on your opinion about Dame's leadership regarding the playoff bonus, your opinion doesn't hold much weight at the moment. ;)

    Winco is great. They have everything and more than Walmart has in their grocery dept, and at lower prices.

    Here are a couple of other grocery options to consider.

    For chicken; Zaycon Fresh
    Based out of Spokane WA, they only sell online. https://www.zayconfresh.com

    Downside, you need to pre-order, pre-pay sometimes a month or two in advance. And the chicken breasts are usually sold in 40# boxes, so you need freezer space. Plus you need to pick it up from the back of a truck on a specific day and time, usually at a church parking lot. No options, they only sell one item in a category, but in huge volumes to get a good price direct from the farms.

    Upside: best price and quality you can find on boneless chicken breasts.

    They offer other products, but their chicken is their best buy. I was not happy with their hot dogs (taste preference, but good quality) and the quality of their steaks can vary, even in the same box. They have great tasting bacon, but only one thickness, which is thinner than I like.

    I have used the Zaycon Fresh service for about 4-5 years, ordering a couple of times a year. I have never had a bad experience or felt like I was taken. I will use them in the future.


    For bacon and sausage; Cash and Carry

    Restaurant quality grocery store that is open to the public with stores around the West coast. Their bacon and sausage fits my taste the best. They have a good selection and sold at reasonable, but not low prices. If you want the best tasting bacon and sausage, consider Cash and Carry.

    I seldom buy red meats, (eat a lot of wild game). But when I do, I hit the local butcher shop. They cost more, but the quality is the best you can constantly find.

    That's just a stupid thing to do. I really don't understand why you'd just get out and throw coffee on a guy's car. What's wrong with you?

    What you do is follow him home all sneaky like, hope he doesn't park in a garage and THEN come back at night and throw something on his freshly washed car.

    I wonder how the lady I saw throw a cigarette and a coffee cup out of her car in my old neighborhood felt after I threw my trash in her yard randomly over a period of months. I rode my bike past her house one night and chucked a cup full of grass killer on her yard.

    I'll fuck people over and I don't even care if they know I've done it.

    My relative was driving with his girlfriend at the coast a month ago. Some bozo almost hit their car while changing lanes and my relative honked and flipped him off, resulting in the guy chasing them at high speeds while pointing a loaded crossbow out the window at them.

    They blew past a speed trap doing 90 while calling 911. The cop stopped the guy and wrote him a ticket and let him go, not knowing the rest. 911 told them to pull over and wait until 911 contacted the officer. The guy passed them as they were parked and threw it into reverse to chase them again, right in front of the now clued-in cop coming down the highway.

    The times they are a changin'.
