One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for September 30, 2017

Wish I could find them for $1.99 now…

Went to buy some cream cheese this morning. Last week, $2.99. Today, $3.69. For the first time ever, I went with the store brand at $2.59.

Sometimes, the higher priced places use the lower priced ones as wholesalers. They’ll buy a case of tomatoes at .99 a pound, and sell them at 1.99 a pound.

Hello, 2 hurricanes in prime growing areas. In FL one tomato grower was bemoaning his 4,000 acre field was pretty much destroyed. Same with FL Oranges and GA Pecans. The prices of all will be going up. As will gas due to where most refineries are located, Texas gulf coast

Henny Youngman joke from the Ed Sullivan Show. (I know. The under 60 owls are going Who? Who?) Lol!

Cost is controlled by availability.

I found the other one quite funny today!

I’ve had enough from the four plants I put in to keep me going. The fall wave is coming in now. Not as sweet as July, but still great.

Here tomato is around the equivalentof 70 cents a pound, and it is considered outrageous too.
