Wow, that's crazy! This size salt (store brand) is still available for 89 cents at my local FoodLion store. The Morton brand is less than $2. Walmart.com also charges $7.70 but sells the 12 pack for $22 (not that anyone needs 12 cans of salt....). These are remarkable price swings for a commodity such as salt, but I suppose convenience has its price.
I can't find that one. I live in the land of earthquakes, so am looking for something just like this. Maybe this group bought out the supply!Just thought this might be fun for those of us who occasionally succumb to the allure of consumerism...
To start the thread, I'll go first. This morning I got an emergency weather radio. This could be a timely purchase, given that I live in New Orleans and that hurricane season is coming up on the first of June.
This is an AM/FM/weather/alerts/shortwave radio, and has a lithium battery, hand crank, solar, and AAA battery backup. It can charge a cell phone or iPad, has a flashlight, and more. Basically it is the Swiss Army knife of radios and looks like a nice radio to have in a weather emergency with power outage.
Looks like I bought it in 2014, ten years ago. Maybe that is the explanation.
I bought my first weather radio ~15 years ago when we first moved to the rural countryside. Bought another one (same model) a few years ago since we need two to be sure we'd hear the alerts anywhere in the house. (One in the master bedroom and one in the den) Biggest threat around here are tornadoes and they work well keeping us updated. A couple of months ago we were getting all sorts of watches and warnings almost daily for a while in our area. Worth every cent I paid, and then some.
Try Costco. Mine stocks Peet's Major Dickason's decaf. It's the only decaf whole bean they carry. Lots of other options in whole beans and ground coffee but the only decaf.
