…but come on… I mean, really. I understand that prices go up. I don’t have a problem with that, in general. But sometimes it crosses the line of sanity.

Chris and I were at the grocery store the other day. I like to shop slowly, on occasion, as you never know when something new may have arrived. This was one of those days. As I stood surveying the ice cream freezer I saw something very exciting… Belgian Chocolate flavored Haagen Dazs ice cream! This was a first in Latvia, for me at least. I looked through all the signs on the cooler trying to figure out how much it cost. 4.50Ls for 1/2 liter… ok, that seemed expensive, but I wasn’t sure just how expensive it was. We passed after drooling for a moment and came home. That’s when my math whiz husband did all the conversions and figured out that it cost the equivalent of $72.42 per gallon!!!! THAT is insanity! *sigh*

We bought chocolate chip cookies instead.
