Weekend market in Spain.
One kilogram of garlic: 3 euros.


Weekend market in my little town.
One garlic bulb: 2.30 euros.

I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

  1. And our prices are in the middle, though I can't tell you what they are without checking.

    1. Meanwhile, 20 per cent less content usually costs 20 per cent more. Not easy for many, to put it mildly.

  2. We paid .50 cents for 4 heads when it's on sale.

  3. A bit of garlic is worth it when it comes time to eat whatever you cooked with it.

    1. Quite, Mimi. Especially when it comes time to eat whatever I cooked with it. ;-)

  4. You can never pay too much to ward off witches (but 2.3 euros seems rather steep)

    1. Welcome to Omnium, Janice. You are right, but I am still glad that once before meeting a certain witchie I had milk in my pockets but no hint of garlic on me.

  5. A la meva illa, les he vist encara més cars. Però he de dir que si menges un "allioli", t'oblides del preu.😋

    1. Now, that I wouldn't have thought! More expensive than my Rolls Royce amongst all garlic bulbs? ;-)
      But you are right, Paula. When living in Torrevieja for a few months, allioli with tomatoes and or olives at least once a week was on my menu. Delicious!
