The only time we buy marshmallows is when we go camping - so we can toast them over the campfire after dinner. I don't look at the price - I just buy them - because what would be camping without toasted marshmallows!<br />Have a wonderful week and thank yo for stopping by my blog last week - we have been away trecking and only just back - so catching up!<br />Yes - we had marshmallows!

Yes, I can believe you pain $4.41 for the marshmallows. Things are cheaper at our Walmart though.<br /><br />My sister moved here from Nevada and food prices make her terribly upset.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007105981868145103.post-43677209903882581322013-04-16T21:50:36.051+13:002013-04-16T21:50:36.051+13:00that cheap gas in their gas-guzzlers is part of th...that cheap gas in their gas-guzzlers is part of the climate change denialists fuel.

And I expect beef to be expensive too as there isn't much cattle crazing in the desert here, but peanut butter can be harder to find, and $10+ for a little jar. (Not so bad in Kuwait, but still expensive). Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.com
