Yeah, it is a shagging sick joke.

Ear of corn .99? Hope that came with a hamburger patty attached to it. -g-

Those aren't normal prices, they were jacked up for the tourist trade. I pay about 30 cents a pound for potatoes, corn is about five ears for a dollar in the summer.

>ear of corn @.99, 10 lbs. potatos @$7.00, romana salad @ $2.99 etc. How does the average family cope? <

I dunno about the salad- but I think you were getting gouged on the potatoes and corn. Those prices are more than twice what I normally pay. I'd say they gouge the tourists out there on the banks. On a lighter note, at least you weren't at the ballpark or airport- it would be $3 for an ear of corn there. <g>
