I know food prices are going up but this is kind of ridiculous

Living in the Midwest, corn is rather abundant in the summer.  Usually at this point in the season, the local grocery store has deals like 10 ears for a dollar (and sometimes more).  Corn is cheap, plentiful, and practically given away.  Yesterday, while shopping, the "advertised special" on corn was 2/$1 -- that's 50 freakin' cents an ear!  As a treat I splurged on four ears of corn for two bucks (and the corn tasted like crap, too).

The corn at the grocery store here usually isn't that bad and sometimes better than what you can get at farmer's markets or roadside stands. I don't know why that is, but for some reason it is. The price of produce in CT sounds a lot worse than out here. I can actually get some incredibly tasty organic golden delicious apples (Éiden's favorite) for $1.99/lb.
