When avocados are a ridiculous $1.99 each and bananas are 69 cents a pound and damn chicken wings are getting up to almost $3.00 a pound..it is nice to see salt is still cheap. 49 cents a box when I bought some the other day. (I had to use a whole carton to make boil peanuts as you recall)...my only question is why is it sold in 26 oz boxes?
PS ever notice that we all have salt and baking powder old as our kids in the pantry?

:) good caution from the D! It seems pretty obvious to me that what Ribhard has learned is that salt has remained inexpensive in the face of a severe recession. Perhaps all learnings should start with the phrase,"Today I learnt..." Or maybe Polvo would like things phrased in the form of a question like we're on friggin' Jeopardy or something. e.g. "What is the only food in one's pantry that can be replaced at a reasonable price in - or at - today's market?" Ok, it's time for the daily double, otherwise known as the time when Ribhard always screams at the TV: "Bet it all! Bet it all!"
Reminds me of when I used to get all giddy when a contestant on The Price is Right would proudly bet "1 dollar!" (yes!) but then as a result I would start to do an imitation of a 4 year old who needs to go to be bathroom as I danced in front of the TV eagerly waiting for bob barker to reveal the closest bid "And…. the actual retail price for the grandfather clock is ......" oh c’mon bob! Hurry up!
ahh... good times... good times
How's your blood pressure lately??
I assume that since they don't pay anything to be on Jeopardy they have nothing to lose by going for the gold and betting it all everytime on a daily double..I mean come on, they picked the catagory and must have a clue...right? Jepopardy and Price is Right tv screaming is almost as good as Let's make a deal screaming: "Take what carol merol is holding not that door number three crap !!"
