Normally, this time of the year the produce section of our local grocery store is fully of Zucchini.  So, when I wanted to buy one for grilling, I surprised to discover a shortage of them.

Finally, I located some on the end of the isle for $.99 a pound.  But a closer examination revealed that they were $1.99 a pound.  But wait, that’s not $1.99 per pound, that is $1.99 each!!

They were organic and individually wrapped.  I guess wrapping them individually keeps them from contamination.  And while I didn’t like the price, I needed a Zucchini for supper to I paid the price.  Of course, next week there will probably be a million of them in the store but that is neither here nor there.
