I went crazy yesterday at the Mexican market near my DD's and left the
store $80 later. Great haul!

Isn't that the way it goes? There we are in the middle of the area
that produces a product and it's set at a ridiculous price point. I
think they want to discourage us from buying whatever it is so they
can send more elsewhere. Cube steak goes "on sale" for only $1 less,
but I wait and buy it at $5.99 lb.
