Goomba, for some reason known only to God and the grower, the colored
peppers are *always* more expensive than the green bells -- at least
around here. They are usually $3.98 per pound! Cub's got them on sale
this week for $2 a pound and I bought a nice one. It was $1.23. One.
Needless to say, I buy them only when they're on sale, when I'm feeling
flush, or when I really, really need one in a recipe.
