I’ve bought bags of Herr’s salt and vinegar on two different occasions that tasted like an entire shaker of salt was dumped into the bag. And believe me, I love salt. They were inedible, can’t buy them again.

Middleswarth is where it’s at, not even close.

Do you sleep better at night being a snob? Doubt it. You sound pretty sad. I know the type, escaped a small town and now feels better putting down everyone else still in them because of some weird superiority complex. Know lots of them, definitely a type. Last comment. Get some help.

Ah there’s that classism again! I said in a comment above where I live. Used to live in Pittsburgh, still care about the city a lot and hope to move back one day. Current circumstances don’t allow it. Again, not everyone lives your reality.

Still waiting to hear where else I can safely, in your opinion, buy Drano when my drain is clogged.

Still waiting for Aldi to carry Drano. I live a good 3 hour drive from a Costco. You’re a troll or out of touch with reality or a douchebag or all of the above. Have a wonderful day.

Wow you need to get outside and off of Reddit more, my dude. I don’t have a Costco. I used to live by one, now I live in an area with a lot less options because I was priced out of where I was living, that’s capitalism for ya. I’m trying to make ends meet as best as I can with the options I have because when I need Drano, I can’t make it appear from thin air or get it from some local artisan. “Anyone with options” - do you even hear the classism in your tone there or are you totally clueless?

Does Costco carry everything? No they definitely don’t. Did Walmart kill your grandma or something? I agree they’re an evil shit corporation, you won’t find me defending them at all but people need to make ends meet and don’t all have the same options as you do. Aldi just had a big recall on some frozen fruit. Are they better overall than Walmart? Sure. Are they perfect? Nah, almost nowhere you spend your money is.

You’re passive aggressively coming at me, I assume, because I mentioned price checking shit at Walmart? Ok. But you need a grip on reality and maybe a touch less militant idealism. Not everyone lives your reality. Go take a deep breath of some fresh air.

So things that aren’t groceries, you just don’t buy? Let’s say you needed Drano, where are you going? Aldi doesn’t sell it.

So where do you shop to get the lowest prices?

I’m not pro Walmart either but typically they’re lowest price compared to fancier grocers. It’s kind of their whole thing. All bets seem to be off at the moment with the current state of inflation bullshit .

Oh dang how weird. I even price checked Drano the other day, fully expecting Wegmans to be way more expensive, it was $1.50 cheaper than Walmart. Maybe my Walmart is just screwy.

Why? I am over in State College and was price checking Wegmans vs Walmart, Wegmans wins 8 out of 10 times it’s wild.

Is it the one with the bear and Keuroac quote on the front? I donated it years ago and still regret that

Rob Delaney is that you

Ya know, you’re exactly right and I’ve just never thought of it that way. I was always excited to go then left feeling kinda mixed on the experience. This explains it.

Omg! I’m from there and heard buzz about this last summer. Glad they caught him, what a piece of trash!

Ain’t nothin’ in Clearfield. Avoid.

There are some beautiful venues around State College are. The arboretum at Penn State would be a beautiful spot too when everything is in bloom.

I just did the drive through WV up through Pittsburgh like 6 months ago, I suggest researching along I-77 area in WV! I think it was somewhere in that area, maybe near Flatwoods.

Maybe above a tunnel entrance? I feel like that sounds vaguely familiar to me while driving through WV

Have you lived in a state other than PA? Genuine question.

From there. Total trash place filled with garbage humans. Not shocked at all.

Yeah dude why would I spend time looking for work in your field when I don’t even know what field that is? Must be one that doesn’t require understanding of basic punctuation or grammar, apparently. Catholic school graduate? High quality education, clearly.

I see there are some issues in Canada I was unaware of, but you seem to be pretty uninformed about issues happening in the country where you currently live. Good luck I guess.

Then move back to Canada. You want a utopia that doesn’t exist in America. It doesn’t in Canada either but whatever you wanna tell yourself.

And what exactly do you think the job prospects and real estate market are doing pretty much everywhere in the US right now? You sound incredibly clueless.

No, I don’t and I think your comments make you sound pretty naive. You can be weary of the public school system here all you want but a) catholic schools aren’t somehow magically immune to these issues, in fact I would argue they have the same issues plus others, and b) such a school that is 100% safe just doesn’t exist. “Here” being the entirety of Pennsylvania.

“I’m aware we are trying to have our cake and eat it too” - so I guess you’re at least a little self-aware after all.

Because you’re chasing something that doesn’t exist. That’s the nice version of what I would like to say.
