Have you had these? HEB offers a lot of great choices but they miss the mark on tamales as of now. I ended up finding some for $15 a dozen and I guarantee they are twice the size of the current HEB offerings. Now, the tortilla chips that HEB has, I am all in. There is a brown van that drives around my area that has the best tamales but I haven't seen it lately.
I can make my own (the masa is the hardest part). But the ones at HEB are good. I can also buy a dozen from the woman at the farmers market on Tamina off 1488 on Saturday morning. She sells them for $15-20/dozen depending on filling and hers are much better than mine (she uses New Mexico chiles for her sauce... just like my dad did). I would put the $30/dozen tamales price alongside the gas prices mcmullin claimed and the turkey price chavetz claimed.
That's definitely your right as a respected Clutchfans poster. I guess the difference is that I didn't pay the price. I passed. Just like I have passed on financing anything the last few years. We are all going to make it.
Food prices are not just seasonal but regional and depend on individual items. This is one reason they are excluded from core inflation calculations. If you want to examine food price inflation, it's impractical to focus on just one item. Anyone can choose a specific item to showcase significant inflation or deflation. Instead, consider examining all food items collectively for a sincere evaluation.
Auto workers will be enjoying this Thanksgiving as their new contracts have just been ratified. The agreements include a 25% or more wage increase over the next 4.5 years, adjustments for the cost of living, coverage for electric plants, and the reopening of closed plants. This is a huge win for them, and the benefits of the UAW victories also trickle out to non-union members. Following this agreement, other automakers (Honda, Toyota, Nissan, ...) have announced wage increases, likely in the hope that workers there do not form unions. https://www.reuters.com/business/au...te-ratify-detroit-three-contracts-2023-11-20/ https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/14/cars/uaw-labor-toyota-honda-hyundai/index.html Toyota said it’s raising wages by more than 9%, and Honda announced 11% wage hikes beginning next year. Hyundai said it will give workers in Alabama and Georgia a 25% raise over the next four years. “The company is increasing its wage structure to remain competitive and to recruit and retain top talent,” Hyundai said in a statement Monday. “All are raising wages to inhibit unions, prevent strikes, and in general limit labor power,” said A.J. Jacobs, a sociologist at East Carolina University, who has studied the rise of foreign automakers in the United States. Foreign automakers have tried to prevent unions in the United States in part by opening plants in the South, which has weaker labor laws and political leaders typically opposed to unions, he said.
I guess the point is that magas are reporting unbelievably high prices as a criticism of the current president when simple fact checks easily disprove them.
That'll be the day @Astrodome does facts checks...easier to repost propaganda here from Twitter or Facebook and claim that the country's going to hell in a handbasket.
