This is heartbreaking. Inbox is open

I have a lot of gripes with pitt but they are not a for profit institution

You just made the list. Junior.

No one would sell them. It is a cheap but good thing, and I would definitely not buy one from a store out of posterity.

Just go to your nearest shop n save, pick up Isally's Chipped ham, Isally's Barbecue Sauce (since you can't make your own) and hamburger buns (and a bowl to heat it in the microwave). Combine sauce and ham, heat, then put the ham on the bun, then eat.

We just got done with a sale at my store, $2.99 a pound. Everything since last Wednesday has been coated in a thin veneer of grease and I've found pieces of the ham stuck in the grooves of my sneakers every day after work. People came and ordered anywhere from 2 pounds to some lunatic who ordered 14 pounds. I think today alone I chipped almost 40 pounds.

If that sale comes around again I'm going to work in the bakery or something for a week

And was all this in newer buildings? Because most stock in Pittsburgh is older than FiOS and wouldn't have been fitted out with fiber optic before Comcast wired it up with coax.

Sorry I don't live here. What's going on with this boat?

Bonus points: he lists every single town within 20 miles that used to have an Isaly's deli in it

Your grandma mentioned chipped ham to you for the first time in the year 2023?

HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE OF HAM LATELY??? WE CANT EVEN AFFORD CHIPPED HAM SANDWICHES.

I work at a deli. Some psychopaths order it sliced. Yes, it looks unappetizing like that

Cranes have definitely come in handy for Pittsburgh the last few years lol

Wonder how much it cost to get rid of

The one Pittsburgh delicacy I never loved. I still remember the commercials though.

Yup. I only go to Aldi but when they don’t have what I need I’m now going to Trader Joe’s … certain produce at Aldi isn’t the best quality so I bounce around stores. Giant Eagle is so expensive and the quality is always bad.

You can satisfy ol' grandma by dressing her up in a pair of yogurt pants and getting her over to the Arby's on Mcknight. Order a ham sandwich, add Arby's sauce, find love.

You have to make it yourself. I cook the isaly’s chipped ham down , add sweet baby rays and some dill relish. Delish!

Isn’t ketchup mostly sugar, water, and vinegar anyway?

End of an era

Kopy's, SS.

Yah, but don't buy one for your girlfriend for Christmas. Learned that the hard way.

ALDI was bad even before inflation/shrinkflation. They were using the shrinkflation aka Dollar General business model long before any of this shit happened. Price is low but the quantity you're getting is zilch. No value for what you're actually getting for the price you pay. Certain things they are still good for but IMO better off at GE or wherever else you want to go besides Aldi.

Walmart does this too from time to time, usually on some random endcap. A lot of stuff is good way after the sell by date. That's why a lot of things have changed "sell by" to "best before/by" to be more accurate.

Put that money in a special savings account that you can draw on as needed. Every time you withdraw money for an emergency be sure to replenish it with the money you would have had to spend on your deductible. Don't skip a month just because you got lucky for a while.
