So I had to buy two of them to get as much as I used to get with one. Each one of these now cost $12. The total ounces of salmon you see here used to cost $7.

    Do you really think I should’ve walked out of that grocery store empty-handed then get on an airplane to fly to a fisherman who catches this fresh from wherever the hell they get it from, just to send an imperceptible signal to the food insustry price-gougers?

    Not only can I not afford a plane ticket to any such place, nor my work schedule or logistics allow for such a weird journey, I would have been dead from starvation by then.

    I weigh 105 lbs. Food is a clinical emergency for me when I get hungry. I went to the store specifically for this, saw it, bought it, posted this post, then immediately ate the delicious salmon.

      Well that would not be very practical, but I know lots of my Pacific coast fishermen ship to the interior and are usually sold at farmers markets and the like, or other such collectives. You ha e to diversify your shopping if you want the most bang for your buck, but I understand your limitations. Do what you must, just saying there are better options out there!
