    I noticed the toilet paper thing a while ago. They think we don’t notice 😡Another thing that I’ve thought about for years and I don’t know why but like you know when you buy, let’s just say paper plates and it’ll say 300 paper plates. Well, no one ever counts them and I often wondered do they really give you the amount they say on the box. But that’s another story. I just saw something that showed how they are pumping water into pieces of meat to make them heavier to sell for a higher price, but you’re really not getting more meat. There are so many things. Unbelievable!!
    Continued prayers for your son.

      I've seen so many things about what they're doing to our food, it's really scary to think about. Makes you wonder why we're such a sick nation. So much food is making people sick too with salmonella, listeria, etc. Something is very wrong. Thank you for the prayers for my son. He has been so strong. Glad you're here. Have a good night. 😊

    The entire global economy is like that. It's no coincidence that all these companies are using the same tactics.

    Maybe if the leadership in Washington changes, the toilet paper will be better!! Prices are just impossible.

      There really is no way to win other than looking for good sales, and that doesn't happen much. I saw a little roast on sale from $32 to $26, big deal, and it was a little roast. I hate what the elite and the government have done to us. Glad you're here and understand my frustration. Have a good night! 😊

    Was having this talk with my daughter a few days ago...Canada is the same We are getting less product in almost everything and paying higher prices per item. i buy my toilet paper at Save On Foods here.They haven't made the roll of the brand shorter (yet) but they did up the price by 2 $. I'm 59 and this is such a different world from what I remember growing up.. I'm grateful and not ashamed to say when covid hit my community started helping people by collecting the produce the local food grocery stores were going to toss....sorted through it and distributed to the community center here once a week as a free open outdoor market. To this day it continues and I'm so grateful to get free fruit and veggies weekly. I'm on a pension and this kindness is making it so I get through each month given the high cost of everything. Often I think what the next five , ten ...years will look like, it's scary . I'm an optimist so I pray and hope things will change in this world for the greater good for all. Thank you for doing another video,. Little Lilly is so adorable I love her facial white marking..very striking to look at. Very happy your son continues to do well on his healing journey he is in my prayers as are you.Sending love and kindness to you both and your family.💚💜💛

      Wow! What wonderful thing, free fruit and veggies. I'd LOVE that. I live on my Social Security alone and am ALWAYS looking for a deal. It is scary to think of how things might progress. Eating has become a HUGE expense for people which is a SHAME with what I've seen stores throw away. I couldn't care less if the produce isn't perfect, it's still good. Growing up my dad always had fruit trees and grew all kinds of veggies, they weren't perfect but were perfectly good to eat and were delicious. My Lily is such a sweetie, I love my little companion fur babies so much, you have no idea! Thank you for being here, I really appreciate it. And thank you for your prayers, it's greatly appreciated too. My son is strong and I believe he'll be just fine. Take care and have a great night! 😊

    Hi Lori, just found your channel and good grief I agree with you on this subject too! I feel I have to become a mastermind of making expensive things stretch. Crazy that I will rinse out ziplocks that are okay to reuse and even wipe off foil and reuse.😮 I’ll buy a large original Pinesol and make my own cleaner for bathrooms. I guess we are forced to think back on how to make healthy meals stretch by adding fillers like potatoes or healthy pinto beans. There are those must have things but for everything else I find a cheaper alternative. How sad that this is happening in our country, let’s hope a change will come soon!

    • @nigella4me
      @nigella4me  19 дней назад +1

      Yes, so many of us are finding ways to make everything stretch and last longer. Prices on everything are just disgusting. I went to get some grapes the other day and just walked out. A little bag that was barely half full came to almost $9 after I weighed it. It IS very sad this is happening to our country. I get even madder when I watch the dumpster diving videos and see what the greedy companies are throwing away. It really is pathetic. There's NO excuse for all that they just throw in the trash instead of selling for cheaper . Let's hope something changes soon because this is getting bad for so many people. Thanks for joining us on here. 😊

    Hi Lori, so happy to see you again!!! You look great and I love your excitement and happiness...even though you are upset about the toilet paper! lol!! I am 72 and I remember when my parents would buy a gallon (128 oz) of ice cream and it would feed all 7 of us! Now you only get 48 oz of ice cream and we pay more!!! I totally agree with you about the cereal, soup and so much more! It annoys the heck out of me!!! Happy that your son continues doing well and you are also!!! Take care!

    I could not agree with you more! I just turned 71 and I remember the boxes of cereal were filled to the top. You had to be very careful when you opened it or it was all over the place!
    I will not buy those products anymore that are mostly air. I get the goat yogurt at Natural Grocers and it is filled to the top. I cannot eat regular yogurt, but the goat yogurt does not affect me.
    Don’t get me started on the price of meat! I thought last weekend I would like to grill a nice steak; haven’t had one in ages. Well, still haven’t had one!
    My Molly is the same way during a storm except she camps out in the bathtub! Hi Lillie!!!!

    • @nigella4me
      @nigella4me  2 месяца назад

      Hi Barbara. It's a shame what they're doing to us and the super rich do NOT care. They live in their own world. Yes, I remember that with cereal. Meat is becoming something some people can only have occasionally because of the price. Ground meat used to be the cheapest meat you could buy, not anymore. Steak is OUT of my reach and I LOVE steak. I'll have to try goat yogurt and see how it affects me. Hopefully this will all turn around soon because it's bad out there on MANY things we have to buy. Lily goes from running under the chair to the bathroom, never understood why she chooses the bathroom. LOL! Glad you're here. Have a great evening. 😊

    Love your attitude about makeup. You are naturally beautiful. I hardly ever wear makeup, but I'm not so fortunate. I'll wear my sunglasses and or a mask to cover up my naked face! 😆 You are SO right about shrinkflation! I noticed the toilet paper thing a few years ago. I noticed it cus the rolls slide from side to side on the TP holder. And they just kept getting smaller and smaller. I remember as a kid, there was no slack between the TP and the arms of the TP holder. In fact, sometimes it'd be hard to roll the TP cus it was rubbing on the arm, the fit was so tight. It's disgusting. Why don't they just package items in smaller packaging. I mean, we're gonna buy it anyway, why try to deceive us... 🤷‍♀

    • @nigella4me
      @nigella4me  2 месяца назад

      What a nice thing to say, thank you. I just don't have the desire to constantly worry about makeup anymore. I feel good when I put it on, but I have to be in the mood or it's just a pain to me. I've done the sunglass trick too sometimes. LOL! Yes, I remember TP being like that, they get us in one way or another don't they? It's such a waste of packaging to keep putting things in regular size containers when what's inside is so much less. Thanks for joining the conversation. 😊

    You do have a very natural beauty and I so love your hair. I live in New Zealand and we also get the shrinkage in our food Supermarkets, same with the toilet rolls too. Cereal packets are only just over half full. Seems like some jar foods aren't being filled to the top too. It Peeves me off big time. They're getting away with it and they know it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    Making your own yogurt is so easy if you have an Instanta Pot--not trying to be a salesman for them, just saying. Depending on how much whey you leave in your yogurt, I think it's almost nine pounds. I'm sure making goat yogurt would be the same process. Cheers.

      I can't eat dairy and whey is dairy. But I have heard goat milk is tolerated by some people who are lactose intolerant. I'm gonna have to try goat milk and see, but thanks for the suggestion. 😊
