USDA is forecasting this year's Florida orange crop will be the smallest since 1945, due to citrus greening disease. California oranges presumably will not be affected. Nationally the prices of oranges and orange juice are predicted to go up.
Spruce tip tea, anyone? http://www.healthygreensavvy.com/spruce-tip-recipes
Found ingredients for one of the three recipes I wanted to try. No cauliflower among other things.
Spent $100 after a two week interval vs my usual $70 a week. I am going to try to keep to this pattern.
Grocery shopped today and the cat food aisle was the most stocked it has been in several weeks! Every shelf was pretty much full.

Had to run into the local Jewel to get allergy meds at lunch. Took a short tour of aisles. Butter is $6/lb!
My grocery store once again had no Sambol Olek last week, which makes me think I am not crazy to hoard a small pile of those little bottles.
I don’t like a big bottle because I think it just gets contaminated. I suppose I could pour some of it into containers and freeze it.
I must have onions, garlic, and Sambol Olek. Then whatever foods come along, that is ok.
Iris, My big box not Walmart store has the 18 oz in stock. Makes me think that it should be in any of the 20+ Asian groceries around here. I would save gas and just call. Target, Meijer, Amazon, Walmart. Checked and Walmart sells a pack of 10 of the smaller bottles. https://www.google.com/search?q=samb...01013694463047

The second time in a row the only cauliflower in the grocery store is organic at $5 a head.
The Sunday Boston Globe is now $6.
Looks like Girl Scout cookies will be going for $5 a box. It seems like they have been cheaper, but that's still a good value.
Hmmm... I think I would disagree on the "still a good value". Some of those boxes hold a single dozen cookies. At $5 a box for a dozen cookies, there are better deals out there - in my opinion. I used to be a co-leader for a troop and was the "Cookie Mom". The rules and management behind the cookie sales from the troop level up to the council level were definitely designed with the girls doing the selling but earning less per box than the council. Also, once my area changed bakers, the cookies actually tasted different.
