Reply to comment by LumpyBumpyToad in Whole Foods pulls Maine lobster from its shelves by feathered-quill

I don’t blame them necessarily, it’s a hard life, but I can’t think of many groups of people less likely to do what you’re asking than lobstermen. They are an extremely cantankerous and provincial lot. And the decline of the industry has worsened it. People are starting to realize the price of lobster just isn’t worth it, not when a jar of tomato sauce costs more than $10

Wait, what jars of tomato sauce cost more than $10?

I was following along until you shattered reality.

I saw a jar of tomato sauce (12 oz) for $13.50 at Hannafords yesterday. It was an organic one, but only the store brand jars and Prego that weren’t $10 or just under it.

Yeah we make our own sauce now. But it just goes to show how expensive food has gotten.

Maybe it's because I never had much growing up but I've always shopped for stuff based on the best deal and I probably would never noticed jarred tomato sauce prices because I'm so used to adding spices and stuff
