gypped
every saturday i go to detroit's eastern market, which is a farmer's market where you can buy fresh produce, meat, plants, etc. everything's much cheaper there than in local supermarkets and today i bought three boxes of huge beautiful strawberries for $1 each. but afterwards i felt gypped. how could i feel ripped off when the same box costs 3-4 dollars at the store? elsewhere at the market i saw them 2 for $1!! and another vendor was selling a case (8 boxes) for $3! grrr...not that i could eat a whole case...but you know you're a cheapskate when you complain about paying $1 for a box of strawberries.

you'll know better next saturday.
do you have a blender? it would make short work of a case of strawberries if you throw in some ice cream (or snow and milk).
hey sharon. aww..strawberries! mm..I would love to have a box of strawberries for $1, even if it is USD. Here in edmonton a box of strawberries on sale is at least $3. :(
but thinking about it, if you had LOTs of strawberries you can consider washing and then freezing them. Makes a great blended smoothie too (and you don't even need the ice!)
