And Golden Flow is now no longer on WIC at one of the local stores. They priced themselves out. Either WIC will approve the higher price of we will see GF roll back the price.
Which store?

I'm hoping for a crash if stores are all full that means they won't be ordering much next week, suppliers will get desperate to unload... I hope this isn't wishful thinking.

Pure fantasy.

few stores in Lakewood told Devash to take a hike. There are issues and discrepancies with WIC pricing that are being worked (stores are tiered, and have different allowances on different products)

Is that why Foodex is $5 for a dozen large eggs and 3.99 for extra large? They have a higher WIC allowance than typical margins on that product?

Costco is $1.99 a dozen and they recently put in purchase limits so they are probably well under typical margins.

Stores need to give wic the highest and lowest pricing of all wic items each year, and if they charge more than the highest price wic declines to pay

-someone told me so

While prices didn't yet come down at the jewish stores for basic cutlets - GG had chicken tenders today @ 4.99lb evergreen has a freezer full of stuff with their thinner cleaned cutlets matching their regular cutlet prices. even their "fresh" stuff -the thin/butterfly are now just about a 1.00 more than the regular cutlets..

And they're both owned by the same company.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Tastes different? Putting vanilla sugar in a cake is a ritual - I don't believe I'd taste a difference.

I have that same thought about vanilla. Every recipe says to use real vanilla and not imitation. I wonder if you could really taste the difference in a cake. @Yehoshua might disagree though

Supposedly imitation vanilla tastes better. Real vanilla is more bitter.
