Why not unbundle them and buy just the one you need? -aem

Nice if it worked that way, but it doesn't. It's not sold by the pound.
If I just take one, I'm still paying for three.

Too bad. Around here they are sold by the pound. Your produce manager
must think he's clever. Perhaps if you mentioned to him that you would
buy them if you didn't have to buy more than you need he'd have a
brainstorm. -aem


I bitch everytime I'm in the grocery store about the way they sell their
produce. They NEVER know whether it's sold by the pound or the bunch. The
only way I ever can figure it out is by going thru the line; then I bitch
more and hold up the line while everyone stares at the cheap and crazy lady.
Fortunately now I can use the new weighing machine and find out before I go
thru the line.
Thank heavens for computers! I was born 50 years too darned late!
