      Sausage demand behind the Wendy’s dumpster is what matters more for this sub, this is bullish because more people will buy sausages

      “You literally cannot make this sh*t up”

      No, YOU can’t. I absolutely can. Give me a few days in the writer’s room and I’ll write you a plot that makes sense regarding an increase in sausage demand in a bad economy.

      Sausage is cheap meat in hard times because no one knows or cares what animals and parts are actually put in them

      I worked credit underwriting at a credit card processor. Tire retreaders and furniture store bankruptcies are the true bell weathers.

      It amazes me that no one has pointed out the real reason why sausage sales are up right now….It’s a real, realllllll simple explanation:

      IT’S FUCKING TAILGAITING SEASON!!! People grill the ever loving fuck out of sausages this time of year, it doesn’t mean the economy is in the shitter. CNBC is such trash these days.

      Econ 101 – it’s literally the definition of an inferior product, and I consider sausage an inferior product.

      “Let’s talk about buttered sausage. Where it comes from? What it does? Why is it doing what it’s doing?

      This reminds me of Silicon Valley where Peter Gregory bought sesame seed futures after getting a fast food burger

      I still buy meat. And I still eat out. I am into carne asada street tacos. My wife loves sashimi. We both go for Korean food. Kids love it all.

      However, when grocery shopping to cook at home, I rarely buy steak these days. Ground beef, pork spare ribs, pork bellies, ground turkey, eggs, etc. are what I normally buy.

      Makes sense. They put the unwanted (and therefore cheaper) cuts in there…plus some other garbage chemicals. It’s just basic math: less money to spend = you buy cheaper stuff.

      I almost bought sausages yesterday at Costco but put them back when I saw it was $20 for a pack

      Manually ground sausage at a butcher shop is cheap but delicious. I’m guessing they’re referring to mystery meat discounted day past expiry Wal-Mart specials.

      >There’s been “modest growth” in the dinner sausage category for one producer, according to the Dallas Federal Reserve’s Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey released Monday. This underscores the trends of shoppers opting for cheaper products and pulling back spending all together as cumulative inflation bites into purchasing power.

      Hillshire Farms sausages are still $4 or more for 12oz or 14oz. Store brand is slightly cheaper.

      I thought you meant man’s dick demand goes up lol 

       Recession here I come! Ladies where ya at

      Also fall is when prices for pork drop so more people stock up, I’m about to fill a freezer and my portfolio

      Used to sell canned goods and I managed Vienna sausages for a bit – If a hurricane was ever announced we would ship millions of dollars of trucks filled to the brim with all the pallets of Vienna sausages we had on hand ASAP.

      Stores would wheel a pallet onto the floor and it would be picked clean in 15 minutes, rinse and repeat.

      Had one guy down south in charge of ~10 stores call and buy $5 million of sausages on the spot with no second thoughts, he was a happy man every Hurricane season, and he certainly helped me hit my sales quota.
