My supermarket experiences in the US

Wow! I'd love to find that price. Here in Neeebraska (I won't
disclose what area but gee it's Nebraska guess) broccoli has been
going for over two dollars a measly two rubber-banded together
bunches.

Produce prices are just outrageous, IMO. And it's only going to get
worse.

Ha - I thought it was a typo of sorts. Do you also say "Do you knowwhere
Jane is AT?"
?????????????

Never. That's ungrammatical whereas the other is just an elision of
thought.

leeks are not all that popular here in the US. That accounts for their
high price. They are considered a "gourmet" item. They are not widely
used in the mainstream.

If they are going to be sliced or chopped anyway, just do it once they are
trimmed, then toss the pieces into a bowl of cold water, swish hands about
like a washing machine agitator, then gently lift them out leaving the firt
behind.
If you need them entire you have to choose them carefully or they will be a
pain.

Never? I have had the odd batch that did not have noticeable dirt.
Others have been quite packed with grit.

Good method, I just can't justify the effort. I have never found
leeks particularly essential or appetizing. But while we're on the
subject of leeks, who in the world buys that horrible Knorr dried leek
soup? Is it anything like those God-awful Lipton onion soup packets?

I have never bought dried soup for anything. My mom used to use the onion
soup for pot roast and so did my husband. I just use real onions.

We have no one in the house who has sodium problems and I do not find
the dish to taste overly salted. No one is drinking all that juice,
anyway,putting a bit on the meat, a bit on the potatoes or whatever
sides we have.

If you do not tolerate salt, use a homemade version of the mix
tailored to your own tastes. The copy cat versions are all over
online. Try googling for them.

I hope you had a good visit in the U.S. of A.

Lin the Catwoman used to insist on getting sour cream and mixing it with
Lipton onion soup to make dip for potato chips. It is quick and easy
and serves the purpose, however it's not really cheaper than just
getting onion dip to begin with.

yet. I might now after your review of them, so thanks!

Thanks, Janet... I wondered if it was anything like growing asparagus.

Who/what owns the old Cost Plus, now renamed Cost Plus World Market?
That's another example of how a successful retail chain doesn't get
better, it gets more corporate and trades on its past aura to keep
customers interested. The beginning of the End for Cost Plus was when
they stopped selling house designed wrapping paper. Shortly after
that, their selection of unique Christmas ornaments stopped happening.
Now it's just as boring as shopping for ornaments in any run of the
mill Macy's xmas shop. In fact, I didn't even consider shopping at
Cost Plus for ornaments this year. Didn't even occur to me.

No kidding. That $.79 envelope of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix is long
gone. For the price, you'd think it was a Hungry Man TV dinner.
