Pass!
They can sit there and rot...for all I care!

Pancakes.....a mix that doesn't need eggs. ..and delicious!

OK, ya gotta share your secret ...... how do you get "delicious" Pancakes from the add water only mix ?????

I have tried two of them, and after I made them, all I could taste was the butter & syrup ....
 

We'll see after the primaries are over as to how long any of these recent "positive news, rising of the stock market, inflation ease, and signing executive order$" will last.

I'm skeptical. Very.

Campaigning and Voting isn't over until November 8. And then reality sets back in...aka taxes rise to pay for it all.

We still have to get results from Hawaii, Alaska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Florida, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Delaware, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island...before we see what is really happening.

Disclaimer: Feel free to delete this if considered political but I didn't mention names or parties so I respectfully felt it was okay.

Highest electric/gas bill ever. $127.00 +. I had one about $105 once at this apartment but usually in the summer I was around 80 dollars. They implemented the peak hours in May. I don't run the dishwasher or washing machine after 4. But AC runs, fridge. I will watch TV and be on the computer. I try to keep lights off. One bedroom, upstairs, I don't get the afternoon sun. This is ridiculous. I keep my AC on at 82-83 degrees.
 
fuel is only cheaper right now...using all our reserves that weren't sold to China....keeps Americans calm....thinking that everything's going to be okay...
stock up on non perishables...please

Yes, my stupid portfolio is looking better and better which means I was an idiot to listen to all the gloom and doom people, I should have dumped all the money from selling the house into the market while it was low instead of dollar-cost-averaging it in, I've got a big chunk in a Treasury that won't pay out for another couple weeks. I expected the market to be down at least into the autumn. I am a failure at investing.

few can time markets ….they rarely can beat lump sum investing over time …

if dollar cost averaging worked better , we would all reach our desired allocation , sell and start from zero again

Admittedly I'm not a picky eater. Use crappy white flour and I'm totally in. I make my pancakes with flour, soy milk, baking powder, oil and salt. Not saying everyone would like them but I do.

As @mathjak107 pointed out, very few are good at market timing. I've done it successfully a few times because I recognized the highs the funds involved were capable of and had already reached. Perhaps dollar cost averaging would still be preferable over dumping all the money in at once while trying to time the market. In fact, as much as I feel I've had successes as an investor, I wouldn't have put all the money from selling my home into the markets. But then I never have believed in putting all "my eggs in one basket". Another thing investors need to realize, it's not a good idea to make emotional, rash decisions. Educate yourself as much as possible about investment choices and their performances, then take "a minute" and decide the best way to proceed. BTW...I made plenty of investment mistakes that I regretted along the way.
 
A few days ago I went to the downtown grocery store (a chain in this region) and noticed they had a good variety of eggs to choose from (brands, etc.). One brand was charging $9.99 for one dozen eggs- and I don't think they were the organic type, either! Needless to say, that's not the brand I bought!

And the day before yesterday I went to a different store (also chain) and one gallon of whole chocolate milk was $6.99!
 
We were at a restaurant yesterday afternoon, along the area main highway, and I saw several large trucks loaded with chickens and turkeys heading for the local processing plant. Those trucks have been a rarity this Summer, since the Avian Flu hit the flocks and the growers had to get rid of most of their birds.

Hopefully, this is a sign of egg and poultry prices coming down in the future, as supply begins to return to normal.
 
Seems higher than ever here. Several restaurants posted signs warning that price hikes are coming on all menu items next month and warned of shortages
 
I don't eat Doritos but my S/O does. I picked up a smallish bag today while at the grocery store without noticing the price at the time I put them in my basket. I naively assumed they'd be $2.00 or in that neighborhood. They were $5.89!!!! That'll be the last bag of those things that I'll ever buy.
