Have you ever been to the race there? also have you seen the youtuber from that area called stoney ridge farm?
yep that's the goal the longer your in a store the more money you spend, they have done studies proving it.
there is a food pantry locally that gives away and sometimes begs people to haul off bad food for them for use as animal feed (usually bread and produce) so chek with them too, because some stores will call cops on dumpster divers.
reminds me of my brothers former dog, it was home all day and some how he found out that store bought pet toys wore out fast but kid's stuffed animals lasted longer, so he bought lots of used ones from yard sales. Why spend 7 or more dollars on a new item that wears out in under 2 or 3 weeks and 50 cents for something that lasts 2 or 3 m
