I wasn't going to bite on this one, but....
I went to the local supermarket the other day to pick up a few
things, including fresh spinach for a dish I was going to make. What
they offered was a handful of leaves encased in a plastic blister
pack. But what really rocked me back was the sticker on the shelf,
showing a unit price of nearly twenty dollars!
I tend to buy what is on sale for around $3.50 to $4.50.
That must of been hand washed by Virgins, organic spinach for that price.
I do find the blister pack lasts longer in my fridge
than the plain plastic bag of greens so it is better deal
for me. I tend to shop once a week at the supermarket
and regular greens go bad after a few days.
I decided to skip the spinach. -- Ian
