Up Crops Foodland's Name Again

Whoever Designed This Puzzle Wasn't Shopping At Foodland

According to the state attorney general's office, there have been price gouging complaints filed in over half of Alabama's counties. In other words, price gouging isn't a very rare event.

Two statements:

1. We support local businesses.

2. We do not support anyone having to pay $3.99 for a dozen eggs that can be purchased at Walmart for $.99.

Is there a conflict in the above statements? If there is, please select option number two. We cannot see why any family, especially one struggling financially at this time, should throw dollars at the owners of Foodland or any other local business just to deny Walmart a sale. Remember that Walmart orders totaling $35.00 are shipping free. It's a win/win situation - cheaper prices and no risk of infection.

You ask how Foodland came into this mix. It was only a few days ago that a Foodland manager apologized for incorrectly pricing chicken. Now we've been sent evidence that the store's $1.99 eggs have risen in price to $3.99. If anyone has a rationale for this other than price gouging, please let us know.
