Waffle House is charging a 50 cents per egg surcharge

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121127) • United States 4 Feb

Hilarious. My buddy @porwest refuses to pay more than $2 for a dozen eggs (they are currently like $5 around here) and Waffle House is charging an extra 50 cents per egg used in a meal. How many eggs do they use for an omelette?...

Jim Bauer Tin foil conspiracy theorists? What? Really? Wasn't it Kamala Harris who said ALL inflation was price gouging? Short term memory problems, have you? In any event, there will be no eggs in my house for a while if I can help it. I am just not paying the price....

What is your opinion about self check out counters in supermarkets

Pitstop @pitstop (14552) • Australia 4 Feb

Most of the bigger supermarkets here have self check out counters. They've slowly decreased the assisted check out counters as they seem to be cutting down on the workforce. I like the privacy of a self check out counters and...

4 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (318962) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 4 Feb

It's been a good day today. I have much to be thankful for on this mildly cold day in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA where the temperature is 17 F and feels like 11 F. I must be getting used to the cold. It feels warmer than that. I'm...

Dinner Winner! What's for Dinner Tonight?

Kareng @kareng (66433) • United States 4 Feb

We just finished dinner here and I have to say it was delicious. I had run to the store earlier this afternoon to pick up a couple more of the rump roasts while they are on sale, and they only had one left. I scooped it up and...

Jim Bauer I like Aldi stufing as well, although I most buy Kroger from Ruler. But only because Ruler's stuffing was 85 cents and Aldi's was 89 cents. Now they are both 89 cents, so I will use either, either. We're going out of town for a couple of days and I don't want...

Who is this lady? And why is this news?

The Horse @TheHorse (222592) • Walnut Creek, California 2 Feb

April @thislittlepennyearns (63442) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 2 Feb

The kids ate with grandma earlier, and honestly, I just wasn’t feeling it today, so I wasn’t about to cook a big dinner. I asked Chris what he wanted, and he said tuna, so that’s what I made. Usually, I’d hardboil some eggs and...

How did your January go?

April @thislittlepennyearns (63442) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 2 Feb

I just managed to scrape by for a little payout that should come in the middle of the month. Honestly, I didn't do as well as I'd hoped in my freelancing gigs this time around. On the bright side, I did score a $250 Walmart gift...

If I was a gambler....

Fleur @Fleura (30928) • United Kingdom 3 Feb

Jim Bauer Oh, no, no, no...investing is NOT gambling at all. I protest! Gambling is game of chance that is entirely random in the outcome. Investing, on the other hand, is calculated. That being said, all investors will get it wrong from time to time or miss important...

Some Things Never Change

Four Walls @FourWalls (70994) • United States 3 Feb
