I feel like the closer we get to Thanksgiving, they
are on sale for 2 for $5, so it sounds about right to me.

Sounds about right to me too. I notice it's a 10oz bag this season.
I've had one from last year in the freezer and it's a 12oz bag
(Oceanspray). I just opened it yesterday and made a loaf of that
cranberry bread that I mentioned recently. Delicious!

That's the age old trick, same price or more, less contents.

Mmm. I love anything cranberry, cranberry nut, cranberry orange.

It's too early for me, so I didn't check the price. They're always
expensive, so I just pay for them when I want them.

Here's I found a recipe today. I want to pair it with pork this
season.

My experience the last two years is that if I want cranberries
for Thanksgiving, I'd better get them early because they have
run out.

The cranberry producers are selling crops that didn't do so well,
calling them "New and Improved" size and charging you a premium!!!

The little cartons of frozen eggs when I need an egg for a recipe.
(Wonder if they still make those.) No more fried, scrambled, whatever
eggs to eat for a meal.

It would sure be mice if you could put eggs in the freezer and then thaw
one and use it like a fresh egg.

Egg Beaters? Costs more than that little carton is worth.

You can freeze eggs. No, I have not tried this. I don't eat eggs often
but they don't go bad. A carton of 12 lasts me a couple of months. I
also have not found eggs to be very expensive. Sorry!

If you're so inclined, here are a few links for freezing eggs:

I've learned from here that things cost less/more in different
places. Just ask Chris about how pricey produce is on the
east coast compared to over there.

You can. Crack them and freeze individually out of the shell.

Even though I was in the store today, I did not check the
cranberries. But, just now I was going over the weekly
sale circular and I see the are 2 for $5. Here's the thing,
it could be a mistake, but the circular says they are
12 ounce bags.

I think I'll be stopping by tomorrow just to check on
that.

I went to the store this morning and I did look. Cranberries aren't on
sale here. The price is $2.99 for a 12oz package. Yep...still 12oz
here. They look very fresh too, so not trying to sell off last year's
leftovers. Still Ocean Spray. They seem to be the only ones that sell
them.

Anyway, $2.99/12oz here but as time nears Thanksgiving, I'm sure they
will go on sale for at least $2.50.

I might make another loaf of the Christmas Cranberry Bread this next
week. It's too good. I'll take a pic if I do.

I never did make it to the store, wasn't worth the gas to
go there just for that.

I don't know how many cranberry farmers are not part of that
cooperative. I know there are some but it doesn't seem like
they have the clout to get into all the supermarkets.

Er, I think I erred, and it was 12oz all along.

Twelve small ounces ...

Great deal compared to "my area." I looked again in my store this
morning. $2.95 for 12oz bag of Ocean Spray.

I'm sure they will go on sale as Thanksgiving and Christmas nears, but
probably not as good as your deal.

They were $3.99 for 2 pounds at my Costco yesterday. Still a
decent deal.

Thanks for the reminder about Costco for cranberries. We stopped in
the one in Greensboro, NC this afternoon to look around a bit and
check the price of the cranberries. Here the are $3.89 for 2 pounds.
We bought 3 bags. I will freeze and FoodSaver the remainder in usable
packages.

Oh, good! I never go into that room since I really can't use large
amounts of vegetables like that, but I'm glad I remembered about the
cranberries. Good deal.

Grocery Outlet had cranberries for well under $2 a bag yesterday. I
didn't buy them and don't remember the exact price.

Very good deals. My normal grocery store was selling 120z for $2.99.
This week they reduced it to $2.50 but that's still way high. This
store still showed no Thanksgiving sale prices this week. Next
Wednesday, they will show all sales....turkeys, cranberry, sweet
potatoes, etc.

I can't get worked up over $3 for a 12 oz bag of cranberries or their
sale prices.

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.
