Grocery Rant
No, not a football rant, not even today. No, today's rant is about grocery stores in my fair city. One of my favorite breakfasts is steel cut oats. I was going to make a crock pot of them, but I have a scant 1/3 cup. Not enough. Didn't want to go all the way over to the Cool Side of Town since a closer store has recently been refurbished. No steel cut oats. At all. No worries, I thought, a new store has opened on my side of town.
So I go to new store. Sure enough, they have steel cut oats...for $5.89. SIX dollars for steel cut oats. You can buy them at a store KNOWN for their super high prices (their nickname rhymes with mole haycheck) for $1 a pound. I do love my oats, but there is no way in terra firma that I'm paying that for them. Expensive store, I'll see you after work tomorrow for my favorite breakfast bargain.
On the upside, pomegranates are in. The early ones I bought could be a bit riper, but I'll take them.
