You sound like someone that can’t cook.

By "cooking" you mean deep frying and baking foods that are terrible for you? Yeah, I don't do that. I eat healthy which doesn't include hoarding and eating 20 pounds of flour on the regular.

The cult will let Republicans continue to screw them under the guise of Christian crap.

They will let them ie all red states morons to keep voting in team only care about themselves and keeping their subjects poor and stupid

MAGA knows how to hunt and grow a garden. Democrats are dumb enough to pay $35 for pie fixings.

Every person I know that hunts and grows a garden votes blue. They are all smart people. I would guess vegetable gardeners and chicken owners tack hard blue and animal hunters (for food not trophy) probably evenly split. A lot of the core MAGA voters are bargain grocery shoppers., they are not growing their own vegetables and gathering eggs from back yard coops.

I have never met a hunter who voted blue. Many are moderates though and maybe vote Democrat on local issues occasionally, but they'd never call themselves blue.

I do have a lot of hippie friends who live out in rural areas who grow crops, have chickens and cows and homeschool. Those do vote blue, but they don't hunt. I questioned my friend recently why she didn't hunt. She complained about deer eating her gardens and bringing in ticks. She didn't have an answer but wouldn't buy a gun. She got a livestock guardian dog instead.

The best pie crusts use crisco. Ask my mother in law and my grandma.

Oh. Oh no... Lard, yes. butter yes. Crisco? Ooof. Crisco is easy, but there's no flavor.

Butter and vodka. That's the winner. No water. Vodka.

crisco is seed oil poison

use leaf lard or just straight butter

OMG are there still people who believe this hippie fearmongering nonsense? Seed oils are fine, you're a moron.

Butter is milk for baby cows; not humans.

Me too. But they also spend a ton on gallon freezer bags apparently. Maybe they wash them once they use them?

OMG, who in their right mind is paying $20 for 5 lbs of flour?

That’s actually a good price for organic, non-GMO, free range, cruelty free flour.

By cruelty free flour, does that mean they don't harm the plants by cutting the stalks?

I assume they waited for the wheat to die a natural death in the field.

Why buy a whole bag of flour to make one pie if you are a person that doesn't cook enough to know how to shop for baked goods?

Use the refrigerated roll out pie crusts, $5.00 for pillsbury or $4.00 for the giant brand, which actually tastes better than homemade pie crust.

Shop smarter

This economy is a disaster.

I've been buying ingredients to make a pie for a Memorial Day cookout. I sh*t you not, I've spent over $35 to buy flour, butter, sugar, and the fruit going into it. INSANE.

SureOP, sure. Butter, flour and sugar will run you $15 max- all pantry staples. No fruit is in season except strawberries, and those are not costing you $20.

Butter: $8.50
Flour: $8.79
Sugar: $5.99
Berries: $7.50

Add tax. $35.

Go back to your expired food section in the lowest of the low store, Carol. I bet you buy flour with weevils in it, then brag about how thrifty of a shopper you are, lol.

You’re not using all 5 lbs of flour and sugar in you pie. Well maybe you are if you’re a fat a$$

If you've never cooked before: you have to buy the whole bag of flour and the whole bag of sugar, etc .. before you make something, whether or not you use it all for this particular dish.

The trolls really need a better education system.

If you have never cooked before, then you aren't going to start by making a pie from scratch for other people. You are going to pick one up from Costco.

Basically buying only veg, fruit, meat, bread, pasta and a few dairy products and it's costing more that my grocery bills in 2020 with all the snacks and prepared food.

Yes, more expensive than 2020, but cheaper than 2021-2024

Try living somewhere that doesn’t tax food.
