"Happy days are here again!"

I bought another 20 pounds of corn meal tonight, $2.12 for a five pound bag...they would call it mealie-meal in Zimbabwe.

Also, a 20 pound bag of rice a Wal-Mart was $14.72...that's $.74 a pound. Contrast that with a ten pound bag of chicken leg quarters at $6.58 a bag...that's $.66 a pound.

A pound of rice costs more than a pound of chicken?

Uh, yeah, and frequently you can buy Coca Cola for less than beer ~ topsyturvy world.

With grain that's the "dry weight". Chicken is sold at the "wet weight".
