And 16 months elapsed after their first two posts (both on 11-27-2021) before posting twice again today. This isn't "normal" posting behavior.

One year ago, I was paying less than $7 for a 24oz can of Folgers. Today, it is over $10. It works out to a 47% increase in one year.

Now I'm pissed!

Walmart has "Compliments" brand, which is really re-branded/re-labeled Maxwell, for 9 bucks per 1.5kg (can and a half) here. Folgers is up to about 12 and the cans have gone down in size.

<Edit>

I've got personal experience with "budget" brand stuff. The only difference between top-brand and budget brand is they called me over to change the roll in the label machine and re-set the counter. Thats it.

I'm tempted to... I even have a can of it in the pantry... but I just haven't done it yet. Not worried that i won't like it, I'm just of the impression that it's so extremely bad for me...

You have never had Spam? What are you, some kind of Commie? They probably wont even allow you in Hawaii.

Actually, it is really good. Slice it thin, maybe 1/4", cook it crisp and make it like a BLT with Swiss cheese and Dijon or horseradish mustard. Yeah, it'll probably kill you, but without it, you ain't really living.

When I was quite young, and mom was trying to stretch a dollar, we'd occasionally have SPAM in sandwiches. It was not enjoyed, by anyone in the family. I've never been even remotely tempted to have it since.

Yes, frying up thin slices of SPAM would make it somewhat more bearable, but I'm still never eating it again.

If I was required to eat meat out of a can again, it would be Corned Beef.

No, No, no....

Go to Dollarama and get the "processed luncheon meat".

It's kind of like spam, but with about 3 times the salt.

We used to eat "Treet" (an Armour product) instead of Spam. Really wasn't bad, if it was fried.

And don't forget Vienna Sausages

OTOH, Corned Beef sucks. Loudly.
