Post by: JohnyMac on May 01, 2014, 11:05:27 AM

Well now. It appears that limes have jumped in price from a few bucks a pound to $14- a pound. Is this a fore bearer to food prices to come?

Being quite partial to limes, I have noticed them priced a $1 each lately.  They used to range from 3-5 for $1.  On top of that the quality is horrible.
