I'm not sure I think it is a bad thing, but it does sort of beg a person to cross the street and purchase coffee at the corner bodega.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120658117796151128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185095019490248004.post-41085942798217005212008-09-27T06:57:00.000-05:002008-09-27T06:57:00.000-05:00I am a true foodie, but I wouldn't shop there beca...I am a true foodie, but I wouldn't shop there because of the energy surcharge (and we're both teachers and couldn't afford it.) They could just raise their prices a couple of cents if they were that desperate for money and no one would probably even notice.

Years ago it was a bit high, but the quality was high, and the produce was worth it for special occasions when you needed strawberries the size of volkswagons. Today I can't even set foot in there. It's always full of snobs spending like crazy.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085613622230832645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185095019490248004.post-42235047954428610982008-09-26T11:27:00.000-05:002008-09-26T11:27:00.000-05:00What's sad - there are apparently a lot of people ...What's sad - there are apparently a lot of people that are stupid enough to pay those prices!! <BR/><BR/>It's the same kind of idiocy around the fashion industry. We lived in West Palm Beach for a while. One afternoon, I went to Worth Avenue which is like Rodeo Drive. The prices were CRAZY!! I remember one little tank top, nothing special, no special design or beadwork. Just a yellow tank that was designed by someone that I had never heard of - it was $5000.00!!I Am Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103866761536902069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185095019490248004.post-47239292937907616162008-09-26T11:01:00.000-05:002008-09-26T11:01:00.000-05:00I just hate that.

Ross' or Marshall's CLEARANCE aisle : ). We don't really eat a lot of gourmet things and I am pretty sure we will NEVER shop at this market.
