Holy Retail!

Kent & I went out to do a little grocery shopping tonight, largely so that we had semi-healthy snacks for our pending weekend in Pennsylvania for square dancing.

While checking through the spice display to see if there's some arrangement of organic molecules not yet in Kent's collection :-^, he pointed out the price for saffron. The package, weighing 0.004 ounces costs $2.79. What caught my eye was the unit price: this comes to $637.71 per pound!

I will never complain about the price of a gallon of gasoline again.
