That albatross photo is one of the most depressing things I have seen in a long time.

I have to agree.:yeldead:

"both" = sausage and buns. maybe we can get 12s in buns too, but I never buy them -I get buns to match dogs. You poor thing.


right, but that doesn't answer the question. :rolleyes:.

You can freeze the buns you know.

You can freeze them, but they tend to get dried out if left in the freezer too long. This is one of my pet peeves - things always seem packaged for families. Since I live alone, I am forever breaking down packages of stuff and throwing food in the freezer. Then I forget what I have in there. (sigh)

My wife freezes them all the time. And then you pull them out and they thaw.... wet, and crumble, and taste like crap compared to fresh. The only good thing is we feed them to the fish in the ponds and they don't care that they taste like ass or have green stuff on them. :D

you can donate them to homeless shelters.

Is it not true that the packaging is often a large part of the cost, so smaller packs are not significantly cheaper? -that's why there aren't the small packages -the bigger packs are so much better value that not enough people buy the smaller packs to make them worthwhile.

You could join a shopping co-op and if you can't ding one, start one. split larger packs.

Or "pass it forward". Pass on spare buns to your small family neighbors and hope that they return the favor

try freezing them in ziplock bags rather than or as well as the original packaging. You can reuse the ziplocks.

I thought it was self evident. Because there are a lot of people out there who don't need to buy for a family, for kids, or for anyone else. And buying them in packs of four would meet the needs of 2 people. And they would stay fresh.

We do. Still so much goes to waste. I was thinking that one of those vacume pack things might work better but the last thing we need is another kitchen toy.

but the question was "are burgers sold in 4s?" If it was self evident, I wouldn't have asked. I even explained why I didn't know. Are you sure you're smart? :p

you are right though re "they should sell......"


;)

They should sell great big cans of STFU for when people like me are having days like this :)

They do sell them in packs of 4, in Kroger, at the meat counter, just to the left of the steaks.

You know what I wanna see? This isn't a product you can buy, but you use it for buying stuff -- I want grocery carts with locking wheels. You know how it is, your grocery parking lot is on a slope, so you gotta hang onto the cart with one hand while opening the car trunk with the other, and if you dare let go . . . runaway cart! Or else it bangs into your car. If they can do it for baby strollers, why can't they do it for grocery carts? They're basically glorified baby strollers anyhow. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Oooh you must have a posh Kroger. It's catfish bits to the left of the steaks here. And garlic to the left of the stakes, on sale this week.
