Today I paid three dollars for one apple. It was a Washington-grown medium-sized apple. Please explain to me how that is humanly possible...three dollars for a local piece of produce?!?!?!
Makes me wonder what anyone else remembers paying for random items back in the day. EX: I'm 24, so back in the 90's I remember...
...when phone calls were 25 cents. Put a quarter in, and you were good to go.
...And the 8oz cans of soda were 50 cents.
Those were the good old days!

in wallingford there are a lot of trees with apples falling on the ground for free.
there are rosemary bushes everywhere in my neighborhood, some sprouting right out the sidewalk (fresh rosemary in the grocery store=very expensive). apples+rosemary+ olive oil=fricasse. a good everyday life project would be to map produce you can get for free in the streets.
