I bought six heads of romaine lettuce yesterday like I usually do at Sam's Club every couple of weeks, for $4.46.
Such a deal, right?
Well, this has never happened before in years of shopping at Sam's: the cores were rotten. I barely salvaged half of it.
I also bought a five pound bag of organic carrots, for $3.62. That's always a great deal at Sam's, except this time all the carrots in the bin were THIN, THIN, THIN, and LIMP.
Summer weather is hard on such produce in any case, but I've been buying this stuff year round at Sam's for years and have never experienced this.
I should have taken the stuff back, but I do live in the country and I have compost piles.
Worms gotta eat, same as buzzards.
