Yeah, in Maine, not here

The price of steak here in Ohio has more than doubled in the past three years. $4.99/lb was a steady price for T-Bones and Porterhouses for a decade, now a sale is $9.99.

It'll be a tossup as to which is cheaper this spring.

Most lobsters end up being brokered and processed in Canada.

We raised the fuel tax so high it’s much cheaper to buy fuel in Canada,so they drop their load while there.

Our new Gov is workin’ on it.

I ordered a half dozen 2.5 pouners live shipped to Raleigh last year. With side of bisque it cost about 350, but what a great lunch! I swear the lobsters shipped on ice were twice as active and healthy as the ones I have bought in the store. The trick is to dump them in cold water ASAP after cooking, keeps them from cooking in the shell after they are pulled out.
