Yikes. The only thing I can say is–tuna in a pouch? Aren’t we living high on the hog?! 😉 Cans are probably still below a dollar each.

I’m pretty sure you can still get a dozen large Armstrong eggs at Trader Joe’s for around $1.49 or $1.69.

I misplaced my belt in my recent travels. I went into my old clothier’s shop and picked up a woven leather belt. It was sixty-five dollars.

[QUOTE=GorillaMan]  
That sounds like the cost of free range eggs in my local supermarket. Yet it’s no problem to pick up honesty-box side-of-road offerings at little more than half that.

Honesty box?

You must live in a very honest part of Naaaaaaaridge (well near to it anyway)
