[Poison Pill]

Six weeks ago I was buying green beans for $.99 - 1.25 per pound. Last week they were 2.99. My grocer currently has NO green veggies on sale.

I still have to pay 25 cents a can for premium vegetables at my local discount store. Of course, those canned vegetables only stay good for 5-10 years, depending on what temperature you store them at.

I am lucky to have these discount stores in the Yuma area. It decreases my cost of living considerably. I think most of them come from California stores, where if they have a slight dent or are overstocked.

I am hoping and praying some of this increase is due to the cold weather in the deep south and Mexico.

That's profiteering due to the recent hard freeze in Mexico.

Cheers!
