Reply to comment by The9tail in TIL that when Weird Al wrote I Want A New Duck in 1985, he went to the library and researched ducks for a week by ElderCunningham
Lol! I do wonder how Weird Al found all of the phrases used in his lyrics. They are almost a total Gen X experience.

I was just in NYC first week of Dec. Folks were open selling from tv trays in Times Square and blowing pot smoke in cops faces. Was wild.

Reply to comment by jbc420 in Dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers by household expenditure share between 2008 to 2020 according to Tufts University. While they still represent a small fraction of national household food purchases, they play an increasingly prominent role for disadvantaged and rural communities. by shiruken
Yeah if a food producer is smart they have a contract to deliver to the dollar stores in an area. The dollar stores will accept less conventionally perfect produce than Walmart and they pay bottom dollar for it which allows them to sell fruit and vegetable really cheap. Just don't expect it to last as long as farmers market vegetables. This type of relationship is very beneficial for the environment and it lowers food waste!
