That sounds expensive until you see what things are selling for in the
stores. A pint jar of Hellman's/Good Foods mayonnaise was priced over
$5 at the store I stopped in today. I'll wait for a sale or make it myself.

I'm sure the nation-wide bad weather (too hot, too cold, too much
rain/drought) will have a major price impact on canned and bottled
vegetable products this fall and winter.
