I went to Whole Foods today to get Hatch chilies because they said
they would be getting a shipment in last night. Price would be
$1.49/pound. Right there, at the front door, the Hatch were proudly
displayed on special at $.99/pound! I got 10 pounds of huge, fat,
shiny, firm, straight pods. What a deal! I went on to do my regular
shopping at Winco and to my surprise, Winco had Hatch as well -- at
$1.48 per pound. For once I got it right.
I did pick up a dozen green bell peppers for $.58 each. That's a good
price. I will chop and freeze them now and won't have to pay ransom
in the winter when they are double the price. I'll do the same for
red bell peppers whenever they go on sale. I use a lot of peppers in
my cooking. I used to always have the fresh peppers on hand but at
over a dollar a piece I wouldn't use any.
