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

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!
