I went to town on a new barbecue with all the accessories and the meat prices didn't drop. I now feel like a silly sausage.   :D ;D

We don't actually live in a "free market", no matter what we have been told.  Prices are never allowed to drop under any circumstances...  everyone from the central bank on down are pushing a 2% inflation target that the whole system depends on!

In other news, Isopropyl prices plummet.

I've been saying this all the time. There was no evidence of viable virus on surfaces, ever. The studies never tried infecting cell culture, only tried detecting the virus via the PCR test kits, which is totally bogus because it detects dead virus fragments just fine.

There is usually a period of 2 or 3 weeks each spring when we can buy lamb at beef at half price in the local supermarkets. That didn't happen this year. I haven't seen any low meat prices, and now pork and chicken seem to be rising. I live near York.

Asda are pretty much throwing it out here.  :-//

I'm getting sirloins on last BB day for £1.20 after they were already reduced twice.

Zoom meeting trolling.

Use your webcam/laptop cam to take a photo of you standing in your room behind where you normally have video meetings.

Set this as your meeting video background.

Freak out value +1.
