just got back from the pig......
piggly wiggly that is, and the place was a madhouse, normally there aren't half a dozen folks in the whole store, today there were that many at each register and the aisles were full. Local forcast is for rain turning to snow after midnight but no accumulation is expected, the gal at the register said it had been that way all morning, don't know what is going on, maybe the welfare checks hit today!!!! found a can of diced rutabagas never had them so got a can to give em a try allways figured they tasted like turnips, guess I will find out this evening.........

When I was a teenager I worked in a grocery store. When the forecast was for snow we would joke about the crowd would put a run on French toast.. AKA milk, eggs and bread

Big weather changes around here this weekend. Expecting 40 mph winds, Windchills at -25 and daily highs in the single digits or zero. My bride and I ran to the little diner close to us for breakfast. It was stuffed. I guess every other fool was looking for a little time out before hunkering down for a few days. We stopped at the little market and picked up some snacks. It was stuffed also...
In the time we left until we return home, the temp had dropped 6 degrees and we were getting some freezing fog. So home now and intending to stay close as our road is already icy.
I have lined up some projects in the basement. I guess my hunting season is over...

I miss the Piggly Wiggly in Roanoke. They carried different brands & items you couldn't get any where else.

I like Rutabaga better than turnips. They don't seem to have that bite. Try to find Rutabaga with the tops still on. Cook the tops with the root and a piece of pork. Mmm.

Piggly Wiggly. The great grocery store of Georgia. We don't have them here in the NC mountains. I did see one in north Georgia last week, Dillard I think, that's the farthest north they have made it.

Went to Oshkosh in 2000. There was one across from the airport.
Wife was happier about P.W. than a greased landing.😉

"Hoggly woggly is a staple in eastern NC. I shop ours more than any of the others."
So y'all have the Piggly Wiggly there in the eastern part of the state. That's interesting, as there are none here in the mountains. Asheville is the home of Ingles so that is the main grocery store around here.

Allen , I has never heard of Ingles until several years ago when I was up your way on vacation .

Shopped Piggly Wiggly way back in '74 when I lived in Sumter SC. Back then, their prices compared pretty close to the base commissary at Shaw AFB and I lived off base in town.
There was also a grocery store there called Bi-Lo and I'd also shop there on occasion. In 74, 50 bucks would fill your cart full to the brim with a lot of meat in the mix!
