Wow! It seems that I've been burning myself on head lettuce. This
fall we've been selling fat heads of red and of green lettuce for $2
each. They have sold like hot cakes. ;-) And they have been SO VERY
GOOD!

I'll move the bag up to $3. A gallon bag! Wow! Glad we spoke since I
serve a METRO area!!

Bear in mind that I'm selling a mixed bag, different colors and textures. You may not be able to get as much for a single head, even if it weighs the same / fills the same size bag.

On the other hand, prices do run lower around here than they do some places.

My lettuce this year was a gallon bag (usually 3 to 4 varieties in a
bag, young lettuce, whole heads) for $3.00. I generally keep the
same price all year. Bags usually weigh half a pound or so; more
when the lettuce is bigger.

Market is in a rural area.
