So you’re saying that Omaha labor costs has nothing to do with them closing the plant? Somehow I doubt that.Nice that you could inject your usual knee-jerk rant, but Kellogg's is shifting production to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ontario, where big labor surely holds more sway than in Omaha.
Once upon a time, it made sense to produce cereal close to where your raw material was located. Now it's easier to concentrate production closer to where your finished products are distributed and consumed. I'm guessing that's exactly what Kellogg's is doing, and that whatever labor headaches they have to deal with are not being eased in the slightest.
A good store grocery buyer is worth his weight in gold. The guys that are good are good.I feel like Doritos are a scam. They’re like 5 and a half bucks a bag at the store, but then they’re on special at $2.99, but only if you buy three bags. So the question becomes, is the store losing money at $2.99 a bag? Doubtful. Are they marking them up 100% the rest of the time? Who on here has access to wholesale pricing for snack chips? I’m really curious about this.
Correct.M
probably a vendor sponsored sale. Meaning Doritos will give Hyvee a kickback for selling three at a time
They are called "loss leaders". Kinda like with Miracle Whip.Hy-Vee and other stores bank on you purchasing other items to make up the difference. Smart shoppers see through it and only purchase the sale items.
I haven't read the article, but are the plants they are moving too also unionized by the same union?So you’re saying that Omaha labor costs has nothing to do with them closing the plant? Somehow I doubt that.
I would want to spend more than five seconds looking into why the Omaha plant is closing, before bloviating about why it's happening.So you’re saying that Omaha labor costs has nothing to do with them closing the plant? Somehow I doubt that.
In 2021, the same union that went on strike in Omaha also went on strike at Kellogg plants in Michigan and Pennsylvania (also Tennessee). Workers in Ontario would not belong to the same union, but labor costs there are very high.I haven't read the article, but are the plants they are moving too also unionized by the same union?
We only buy the sale items each week except for milk. It's doable and we buy store brand almost exclusively. We hit Aldi whenever possible which isn't that often. Nearest 1 is 100 miles away but their fresh produce and bread is hard to beatHy-Vee and other stores bank on you purchasing other items to make up the difference.

So you’re telling me free market forces have nothing to do with them closing the plant? Somehow I doubt that.So you’re saying that Omaha labor costs has nothing to do with them closing the plant? Somehow I doubt that.
My wife bought the Aldi's version of Cheez-It once. I told her that I appreciate her trying to save some money, but we can splurge and get the good stuff.The ONLY thing I always buy and it has to be name brand is Doritos.
Anything else, give me the generic stuff every freaking time...even rubbers!
Trojans? **** that...I buy NOTHING but Private First Class Santiagos.
Probably smart. Isn't cereal one of the worst foods you can possibly eat with all the sugar most contain?For 30 years we've had an egg, homemade waffle, yogurt, oj and coffee. We're not much on cereal.
I was just going to say hate seeing anyone lose their job but cereals are absolutely horrible for us. One of the worst things we can give to kids to start their dayProbably smart. Isn't cereal one of the worst foods you can possibly eat with all the sugar most contain?
Just like 15-20 dollar an hour minimum wage hasn't resulted in higher food prices at the burger joints and kiosks instead of humans. Everything has consequencesSo you’re telling me free market forces have nothing to do with them closing the plant? Somehow I doubt that.
