I've been trying really really hard to not complain about the economy. After all, I am a commission sales rep and the media's incessant need to present an environment of doom and gloom does not, and I repeat does not, help my cause. Happy, secure clients spend money. Clients so fear struck that I have to pry them out of the fetal position DO NOT spend money.
Well, last night I reached my limit. I paid $1.69 for a head of iceberg lettuce. Yes, I know the price of milk, eggs and gas have been going up exponentially, but this just tipped me over the edge. Organic mixed greens? Fancy leafy greens? Those handy-dandy bags of pre-washed salad mixes? Sure. But, iceberg lettuce? I am outraged!
Alas. I bought it. And. It is tasted fucking good, sitting on my deck, eating the first grilled burger of the season.

I paid 4.99 for a can of tomatoes that used to be 3.29. I understand your pain.
