Okay...now that you've got that image in your mind, picture me (san sequins) walking down the dairy aisle 2 weeks ago, stopping suddenly, pausing, and then walking backwards to the butter display.
Backwards!
Okay...now that you've got that image in your mind, picture the utter astonishment on my face when I see Land O'Lakes butter is $8.99 a pound.
$8.99!!
A pound!!
Then my eyes trolled over to the eggs and Large Eggs were $5.99! And Jumbo were $6.99!
Wow...I have been buying my butter from Trader Joes for years now. It used to be $2.99 but is now $3.99.
Which is NOT $8.99. And until recently--when foxes got the majority of my neighbors' free-range chickens--my eggs have been free.
I checked back on Wednesday and butter is now down to only $5.99/pound. Oh goodie.
I wonder if Santa is going to get a Venmo request with his cookies and milk?
