That's the only size we ever get :-(

Ours too...I went in with the purpose of buying a basil plant and a
rosemary plant and maybe a sage plant, but all there was was rosemary,
so that's what I got.

Ours are normally $3.81 a lb. It's just awful. And they don't ripen
right...they're rock hard at the store, I bring them home, put them in a
bag with an apple and a day or two later they're black inside with hard
spots.
