What price? I don't see any price for the onions. I see a price for the basil behind them. You wouldn't be posting misleading bullshit for fake internet points, would you OP?

Just tell us the price of the onions so we can judge you for being poor as well

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don't need to tell you the price to tell you how poor I am. I'm avoiding people this Christmas. That help?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What if I wanted to gift you some onions for Christmas?

So same outcome as before…

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Send 'em to a food bank because I hate onions lol

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Sheesh, why are you complaining about them being too expensive then?

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not at all. Because if I had enough money to avoid family for the holidays, that's exactly what I would be doing too.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

I don't have family to avoid lmao I'm just bitter and don't wanna see people happy

The price is putting dirt in your eye.

This is a pretty specific attempt too. Local grocer in Utah? Basil? ONIONS?!

That price is for the pots of basil behind the onions,

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s a shitty price for either of those items.

Maybe it’s Canadian Dollars…

American store. Things are actually cheaper up here most of the time now.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Basil is 5.99 at my grocery store today.

I like the idea of owning a basil plant. But you can't plant it in winter weather and they're impossible to keep alive inside, I find.

[–] BillMurray@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

For a Basil plant.
