$1.69

I've

been trying really really hard to not complain about the economy. After

all, I am a commission sales rep and the media's incessant need to

present an environment of doom and gloom does not, and I repeat does

not, help my cause. Happy, secure clients spend money. Clients so fear

struck that I have to pry them out of the fetal position DO NOT spend

money.  

 

Well,

last night I reached my limit. I paid $1.69 for a head of iceberg

lettuce. Yes, I know the price of milk, eggs and gas have been going up

exponentially, but this just tipped me over the edge. Organic mixed

greens? Fancy leafy greens? Those handy-dandy bags of pre-washed salad

mixes? Sure. But, iceberg lettuce? I am outraged!

 

Alas. I  bought it.  And. It is tasted pretty freaking good, sitting on my deck, eating the  first grilled burger of the season.
