Shopping shock

| 5 Comments

Made a quick trip to the Price Chopper to get some salad makings for dinner. Boy, are American grocery stores intense.

In this giant warehouse of a shop there are 21 different kinds of Dole pre-packaged lettuce. Pickles have 7 six foot shelves. Mustard and ketchup each have 4 feet of shelf space times 7 shelves!

And ther were so many kinds of salad dressings--at least 15 feet plus an endcap display--that I gave up trying to choose one. I got olive oil and basalmic vineagr instead.

We had similar feelings. Welcome back to the Old Country for a while. :)

ooooooh. You're not in Japan any more! Sorry, I was being dense. That explains the surfeit of lettuce. Bah.
