So I decided to grab a salad to be “cheap”. I was in my neighborhood of Uptown and knew the Metropolitan Market had a decent salad bar. I did grab the larger container and go big with the ingredients. I went with the iceburg lettuce, shredded American cheese, cottage cheese, croutons, and a few bleu cheese crumbles. To top it off, I went with a ranch and Italian dressing blend.
I went to the cashier and handed him my salad. He set my salad on the scale to determine the cost and that’s when I said to myself “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!”. My going “cheap” ended up being a salad for $14.19! Who’d a thunkit.
Needless to say, I’m not going back to the Metropolitan Market for a salad anytime soon.
