Perhaps, but the price of iceberg lettuce (like any commodity) fluctuates, so my question still stands - how high would you draw the line at?

Keep in mind the record prices set in 2002, where they soared up to $60 a carton for 24 heads, according to the Federal-State Market News Service, forcing consumers to pay nearly three dollars for a head of lettuce. Of course, back then, extreme shortages were due to unusually cold weather in growing areas, not the lack of labor.
