I've never had real sardines, but considering how I like peas and even spinach from the garden, but hate both canned, I can just imagine how much better fresh sardines would be.
I don't know about that. I think a lot of things are on the market simply because they've always been on the market, and no one bothers to change the inventory. Remember twinkies? I don't think anyone bought those things for the last 20 years - until they quit making them, that is. Then people hoarded them for nostalgia. But no one really eats twinkies any more. And what about bologna? That was a staple when I was a kid, but I haven't seen a bologna sandwich in years. When you have a power outage and things start flying off the shelves, take a look at what's left behind. I'll bet it's bologna and lunchables!Someone has to be buying them in order for them to still be available for sale.
This is not the norm why?Xero said:I like that the stores around here have been selling local produce for awhile. I think everybody should do it.
I wouldn't really know, but I would assume that some things are cheaper to buy elsewhere, or just don't grow in the area (like bananas). I'm sure, for instance, the big corporate businesses prefer to buy bulk oranges super cheap from like, Mexico (I don't really think we grow oranges here either, but I could be wrong). That's just business for you. It's just as easy to drive to one of the local fruit/veggie stands anyway though. I just think that the local stuff should also be in big business stores.cybele said:This is not the norm why?
I don't think even the first Twinkies ever made would have reached their expiration date yet. Wouldn't that be somewhere in the 23rd century?akmom said:I wouldn't be surprised if they were throwing out expired twinkies and bologna all the time too!
