Only the Rich May Eat Iceberg
I was in the supermarket yesterday when I noticed the price for a head of iceberg lettuce: 600 yen, for the love of god (sorry, folks, no conversion service on this blog, but if you're really curious, you can find out easily here.
Isn't that a little overly optimistic? Who wants iceberg that badly?
I read that the price of lettuce has gone up due to the recent string of typhoons. I wonder if the prices of all vegetables have been likewise affected because everything is so damn expensive these days.

Yes, I saw on TV last week that the wholesale price of lettuce has risen four times compared to pre-typhoon. The way they said it, we can expect widespread price hike in all vegis. I bet besides supply and demand, greed also played a roll in this. A perfect chance for stores to raise price!

Those bastards. How dare they take advantage of our need for vitamins and fiber.
This is exactly like Golden Week and how they exploit the vacation-starved people of Japan, forcing them to pay triple the ordinary fare.
Will be stocking up on frozen veggies, I think.

Hm. That's why my lettuce wasn't delivered with the rest of my groceries today. All I got was a slip of paper in Japanese, of which I could just about decipher "lettuce", "typhoon" and "rot".
Yep, frozen veg is the way to go.

More bad news for lettuce lovers.
An official of Kansai Super Market Ltd. said these lettuce prices might stay up as long as February!

Guess what? Peacock is selling them by halves. 400yen for half a lettuce! Highway robbery!
