Putting together this week's shopping list online. A 5 lb. bag of yellow potatoes is $8.48 and a 5 lb. bag of red potatoes is $7.88.
WTF!
(Coffee has been crazy obscene for over a couple months now.)

(12,904 posts)Hubs and I had a connection at the farmers market this year who would always save us a few of her tiny multicolored potatoes. We bought the last of her stash Saturday, and hubs is roasting them on the grill right now. They are so incredibly tasty, and they smell so good while cooking.
I have eaten enough potatoes to make myself almost sick a couple of times this year. I expect tonight will be the same.

(22,767 posts)for a 5 lb. bag of yellow potatoes for a really long time now. It's pretty dry here so it takes a while for them to start sprouting. Even if the do a little, I just cut them out and use the potatoes as long as they're not rotting.

(86,742 posts)The best thing I did for my coffee addiction was to order a five pound bag os beans from my favorite roaster a few months ago. I'm only a little past half done with the bag... I'll order some more soon just because. It's fair trade and I pay a bit more for it but if I'm going to drink coffee, it has to be fair trade.

(86,742 posts)It was $75 including shipping. Don't know what it will be next time but it will be worth it.
they run $3 to 5, for 5 lbs here. a little less for russets, and larger bags of those are a better deal.

(22,767 posts)It takes us a couple of months to get thru a bag, so I hadn't ordered any in a while. Was really shocked when I saw those prices. This has to be something new going on.
