:-( Not good for you in NM.

I don't understand how we can get it for $1 and you don't.

I am guessing the grocers are buying in HUGE, HUGE chile volume to
pass on to those out of state/us. I feel bad about that. NM
should have gotten the best $$ prices. Last week, this week and
next week, the local store is selling mild, medium and hot for $1/#
roasted.

It's not fair to you. :-(((
