Eli's Manhattan has decided it isn't enough to charge five times the national average for a one pound bag of carrots.....which would be $4.50. Unless you're a cheap chump who schleps her way to Walmart or H.E.B. or somewhere else and pays $.79 for the same bag. No siree!
Eli's wants to take full advantage of the energy crisis and charge a surcharge on top of their already high prices.Now, I don't shop in gourmet markets because
I know I would never pay $150.00 for this breakfast basket, even if they threw in a couple extra croissants. Now add the energy surcharge...BINGO! $152.70.I love good bread....fresh bread, with some weight to it and lots of fiber and never white. But would I pay $55. for four one lb. loaves? Don't forget the energy surcharge.
A seven lb ham is $95. 
How about one lb of hand dipped chocolate shortbread cookies....only $45.So please Mr. Eli's.....why the greed? I would guess you already make a nice hefty profit. You will never make up the loss in revenue that your former customers have taken elsewhere because of your stinking 1.8% energy surcharge.
Does anyone know of anyone who shops at Eli's? Still?
