They're actually "in-season" right now. We can get a 5 lb sack at Walmart for $1.00. Crash has gotten addicted to home made fries. - Trish Jul 17, 21:24 3
- Ah, I should try Walmart - haven't been there in a week or so. -- nm - Meg Jul 17, 21:42
- corn is 2/$1 around here, I do remember 10 fer till Bush made a deal with the ethenol makers (ADM) but taters are cheaper than it must cost to ship -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 21:31 1
  - Jasus, Mary, and Joseph--I can't imagine paying that much. The most I've seen it here is 4/$1.00. -- nm - Trish Jul 17, 21:38

      - I learned some things about vodka/moonshine...potatoes are actually a lousy source of booze, only 16% vs 60 in wheat barley corn and worse... - zeitgeist Jul 17, 21:23
