Too Many Cameras and Not Enough Food

Too many Camera and Not Enough Food, Song Lyrics By The Police.

I had that thought today, as I arrived at Shoprite thinking, that they had a real great price on a digital camera. The particular model is FinePix Z10fd. At the same time I could not help wondering how come I have not seen any of the two 2-lb bags of the pre-washed star K heksher lceberg lettuce mix. I know that I sometimes look too deeply into things but for some reason I have gotten used to spending say between $3 to $5 for either a two or three pound bag of washed star k heksher lettuce. However I simply can not bring myself to spend say $2.99 for 1 lb of lettuce, even if it is prewashed and has a star k heksher.

Iceberg lettuce in its normal cellophane wrapped (but non star k heksher form) normally costs anywhere from say 99 cents when on sale, to maybe just under a $2.00. How come the 2lb bags can not be found, nor the three pound bags at Shoprite. Could this have something to do with the 9 days, and Dole thinks it can make a little more money on their special niche product star k heksher lettuce mix?

Or, is it one of those farming issues that due to the lack of rain in California, we now all must pay $2.99 for a pound of lettuce?

Conclusion: If you do go to Shoprite  check out the price on the FujiFilm FinePix Z10fd (7.2 MP 2.5″ LCD , while supplies last, I saw a price of under $105 before tax. However don’t even bother looking for the 3lb bags of Dole iceberg lettuce mix which you can usually buy for $4.49, because they are nowhere to be found! If your Rabbi says its okay, you might consider buying the cellophane wrapped iceberg lettuce for 99 cents each, however there is a limit of two.
