Sorry to rain on your parade, Kathy. You could visit one of our discount grocers (don't recall just which one) but the special was last week, though I think one is offering that price again this week - till Thurs.

You could likely find a box of clementines if you were to visit one of those stores in a nearby Canadian city ... but I think that your customs people would be somewhat displeased with your effort to take them home with you; you'd have to eat them all on the spot, I fear!

They're usually around $5.00, but were on special at the price that I quoted.

However, we often are rather jealous of the low prices that you U.S. folks pay for a number of grocery items, as they often seem to be more expensive, around here.

We used to say that part of the missionary's training program was to learn to make a nickel do a dollar's worth of work.

It's been over 45 years since I left Korea, where we'd worked to help refugees try to get back on their feet, having left their earlier place with nothing but their clothes on their backs ... and, in an area devastated by a recent war, there were precious few jobs to be had.

I noticed that an hour ago, while eating a cupcake from a paper cup, I took a dull table knife to scrape the crumbs from the paper cup. I don't do that often.

I hope that you and yours find this season to be an insipring one, encouraging you to have an even more generous spirit. My boss recommended a couple of thousand years ago that we love our neighbours as ourselves ... and it seems to me that others might find that a better family, community, nation and world might develop were more of us to practise such a project more thoroughly.

Last week I paid $4.89 for a 3# bag of Clementines. They were oh, so good. When our grocery gets them in, they are usually in 5# crates which is hard for me to bring up in my little two wheel cart up our second floor APT. I had asked the produce guy if they could get them in the 3# bags and he finally did it. Dottie

I paid $8 just before Thanksgiving (US-Nov 26) and $3.99 this week. I love clementines, wish they were available year-round.

I got the 5 pound box of them at Walmart for 4.99...

I just love them...

We used to get clementines from Spain at the holidays. They stopped importing them and now they are from California. Not the same, and we sure miss the REAL ones as we call them. They were pricey but worth it!

I am heading to Walmart tomorrow just to see if I can find some. They were 7.99 at the grocery store on Monday. I usually buy them at least twice a month during this time of year. I love them! We always got one in the toe of our Christmas Stocking-

The Albertson's ad has them for 2.99 starting tomorrow

Most of the clementines here are sourced from Morocco.
