And game consoles and tvs. They're calling the bill the "Leave No Child Inside Act". I fucking hate sin taxes!

Plums are always like handfuls for a dollar... They basically give that shit away. I have no idea where/why you would buy a single onion for 60 cents. Why not get a kilo which makes them like 10 cents apiece? --------------------  |

Why not get a kilo which makes them like 10 cents apiece? because if your froze an onion it would be mushy and disgusting afterwards so buying 10 onions is a waste of money unless you reeeeeeeeeeally like eating that many!? plums in lubbock arent that cheap at least. i wish they were because they are my 2nd favorite fruit! food IS based around convenience and not necessarily price. but you cant just say oh well then have people go to the grocery store 3 times a week. if you are able to do that - thats a luxury in America -------------------- Little monkeys making money

Its the cooking/cleaning part that people are lazy about... -------------------- |
