Me in the summertime: Catch some fish to sell for 50 cents or so per pound. Every now and then pluck a couple out to bring home. Slice em up into fillets for the freezer to eat during the dark wintery days.
Me not too long ago: Walking through the aisles in a Carrs Quality Center. Some frozen salmon fillets thawing in an open refrigerated bin caught my eye. A closer look revealed price tags ranging from $15- $20 for a single fillet.
Me after seeing the price tags on the thawing salmon fillets: Hmm...maybe I should slice up a few extras this summer. I guess I didn't realize what I had until I saw what other people are paying for the same thing.

Maybe you should be writing a column in the paper too! I'm sure that other people would be happy to hear of these prices, and I'm also confident that you could explain it in a way that makes sense to your regular, average Joe. You know, not too many big, fancy words that are incomprehensible.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement! At least I would know who my target audience was.
