Again: why are these suddenly/recently in PLASTIC BOTTLES that are ruining our planet worse than it's already been ruined?? they are heavier, more unwieldy period & WORSE: taste different, not good! that's the plastic effect. before they were in nice, light, lovely cardboard (or some form thereof) & they still are at Walmart etc., but on amazon, it's the HORRID plastic. WHY did they change it?? as if it's already not expensive enough! it's going for $40 a 12-pack half the time! i signed up to buy these from "subscribe & save" a year or so ago? for like $14!! now they are like $27, if i'm LUCKY! (ha, see: not lucky). wth?? my sub & save really offers me little to no savings at all. a couple pennies at that. & i many times see my items suddenly in stock, once: the shakes of which i speak, for $13 & something & i had been stiffed on my subscribe & save (though you'd think i'd have 1st priority, having had it set up for months & yrs right?), as in NOT Receiving them at ALL! not for weeks & weeks & months. yet my order page showed them as arriving every upcoming Wed. nope. never came. or i'm sorry, DID start to come once they could charge me astronomical prices for it, after months, randomly. so it's retailing on here for $13 something & I'M charged $26 at least!! again, wth?? so much for sub & save eh? so yeah, the badness (word?), to sum it up, is: PRICE! stop being so greedy muscle milk & u amazon billionaires! PLASTIC: planet, taste, etc. & being screwed over when i'm supposed to be like a "preferred customer" having it on constant order yet i'm NOT charged or treated that way! it's frustrating. yes, indeed.
ok this is a quick amazon/muscle milk review i was posting, so i didn't get super in depth w/it, or the ongoing theme of GREED that i've been thinking about a lot lately, w/our gas prices, the inflation thing & basically the increased & increasing cost of EVERYTHING these days, though people don't get paid MORE, so everyone (except those that are rich & wealthy) is suffering even more.
as if COVID & all it's changes & hardships weren't bad enough. deaths, sickness, loss of loved ones, isolation, people dealing w/depression, their children, hardships & shootings going on left & right!! (oh i could write a symphony of blogs on that topic!), everything is now overpriced & hideous. anything or place that wasn't already, is now jumping on the band wagon. i had a conversation w/someone who works at a store i frequent, where i bought a few vitamins regularly, cuz they were a great, low, FAIR price! then they started going up (as the rest of the world started raising prices), then they more than DOUBLED in price! that is INSANE to my thinking. i asked the familiar employee why they were now more than double the price. he said "well have u been to ralphs or any of the other stores?" i said yes, of course. & he replied "well their prices went up, so we raised ours too". great, huh? what better reason! the bandwagon. they're greedy, so we want to be too! they lost me as a customer. they were no longer cheaper than ANYONE! LOVE IT! ha, not ha
even Walmart has lost their minds & overcompensated: i.e. OVER-raised some prices where it doesn't even compete or make any sense at all. weird.
