I have been HOARDING dried beans....yes, hoarding them...I buy in large bulk bags and store in NEW 5gal. buckets that are then sealed with duct tape....

Lettuce $2.50 a head here. And that's iceberg lettuce - absolutely no nutritional value.

It isn't the fault of the fabric shops for price increases on fabric. Cotton has gone up 123% in price. Saw it on the Denver News stations 2 weeks ago.
