So I ain't buyin' the 30% blather.

Nor I.

I was tiring of the taste of Trader Joe's Organic Free Trade coffee so yesterday decided to buy a pound of other beans to make a blend. Well, I can report that inferior coffee at WalMart costs substantially more than superior coffee at Trader Joe's in Phoenix, which is not a place where poor families go to buy their groceries.

And after viewing the fresh veggie prices I bought not a single thing. Has anyone ever seen higher prices for bell peppers? Grow, garden!
