The $9 cauliflower

Add cauliflower to the mundane elevated to gourmet by St. John pricing.

A head of cauliflower at Starfish Market, for $9.39.

Smuggle a few in your suitcase next time you come down and sell your stateside cauliflower on the black market. You’ve got a healthy profit margin.

    I would definitely be skipping the cauliflower. We provisioned last time and the box of Water Table crackers from Starfish Gourmet for our cheese was $8.99!

    They also had English cucumbers for $5.25 and organic eggs for $8.95. Organic milk is always 7.95 a half gallon. The last couple of weeks have been over the top, even for St. John.

    However, their sale on whole pineapple and chicken breasts was cheaper than Cost u Less prices. Their specials are true savings….I only buy sale items there.

    Now I know how to fund my next trip to St. John AND put my kids through college… black-market produce.

    Oh well, at least you have the sunshine!

    Suddenly my $3 apple experience doesn’t feel so bad now.
