I'm a total lemon freak, with lemon juice being one of my major seasoning groups (um, yum, sour). So this summer's prices, which by some estimates have risen 155 percent over what we paid a year ago, have definitely given me sticker shock. But give them up? No way. Only last night, I forked over five bucks for a bag of six large lemons at Tom Thumb, where individual ones were 99 cents each. (I'm in the TT zone: No matter which direction I drive from home, the first store I hit is a Tom Thumb.) But get this: I had occasion to shop at a Wal-Mart Supercenter today, and there were my precious golden orbs for 35 cents a piece. Yes, they were the small ones, but who cares? A 5-year-old could do the math on this deal. |

That's just amazing that they're so high at Tom Thumb. I got them 2 for a dollar at Central Market this weekend and I thought that was high.

Yes! I love lemons, also! I usually get 2 for a buck! I don't know how good they are for you, though. I love them sprinkled with salt and with a can of beer. The problem is, how good can the acid be for your teeth? Gil
