Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 05, 2022

All good, as long as the beer is owned free & clear.

So that’s why people take pictures of their food—to show off how rich they are!

Good thing you didn’t get a loan for gasoline, that would have to be a 30 year loan!

I know times are tough, but This is going WAY too far!

At least it wasn’t your top-parts.

Some friends just told me they are moving to a fairly new 3 bedroom house in Newfoundland. Typical price around here (southern Ontario) — just under a million. On the Rock — $295 000.

I told you we should have taken out student loans.

Little advice. Don’t let your pop-tarts lean. They’ll burn in the toaster. Just sayin’. Or…Pop-Tart! Is that grandpa’s girlfriend?

Just start a mega church if you need money. Or a PAC. Or some other bs rip-off scheme.

Attempt at balance? Or just loss of funny?

I lost a fortune on the market today, I dropped my bag of groceries!

I believe that panel two is the first time I’ve ever seen Rat smile!

Keep dreaming. If you pay for your week’s groceries, they put a lien on your liver! I hate to go to the supermarket these days. It takes forever to go through the checkout. “… put 12 dollars in this one, 5.50 in the Mastercard, 3 in the AMEX that I can get 6 installments without interests… am I still short??? let me see, I think I have an old Discovery somewhere… Hey! Wait! I have a coupon!!! Let’s star all over again…” :D

Something tells me that these two haven’t had much luck with food.

Can we please turn off the money printer? It’s been going crazy for a while and it MUST be stopped lest this actually happen.

Groceries for the month are still less than the water/sewer bill or electricity, etc and they all pale before the mortgage. I’m glad we refinanced when the rates were low.

Sometime liens are not realized until you go to sell your pop tarts

Poptarts haven’t gone up that much, but the price of lunchmeat is just plain stupid.

Not the Pop Tarts!

Just went shopping this morning. Saw a 10 lb tube of 73% hamburger for $2.89. I don’t mean $2.89 a lb either. If I had room in the freezer, I would have thought more about getting it. At the same place I got choc chips for 33 cents a package, good too. Now they are a quarter. One time got Tyson wings for 99 cents a lb. SHOPPING!! Knowing how and where to shop is the way to go.

Quick! Dispose of the evidence!

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Eat the Pop Tarts quickly, so they will be harder to repossess.

Put them— carefully — in the deposit slot.

Grocery bills can easily be lowered by eliminating processed foods such as pop tarts.

Eventually Rat & Pig will have to tell Paris that they put HIM up as collateral for the loan!

Well my dried cranberry breakfast cereal ingredients went up 70%. Drought, they say. ’Took them since last fall to figure that out? Or do they inflate their costs over cranberry Futures? Corporate greed is a wonder to behold.

As for me, I had a girl in Fergus Falls. She put a lien in my balls.

Life these days.

If this doesn’t convince you inflation is out of control, I don’t know what will.

Thanks Biden.

I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for groceries today.

really? nobody said that yet?

Getting to that point.

Too close to Real Life. Sob!
