6. True. At Giant, cucumbers cost 99 cents apiece all year round

even during the peak of their local growing season. Before the Magruder's grocery chain closed a couple of months ago, I used to get 2 or 3 cucumbers for a dollar there, 4 for a dollar when they were in season.

Giant produce has sucked for a long time. When we moved to Maryland from New Jersey 23 years ago. I was appalled by the crummy produce and high prices. Still am. I wish there was an alternative, but Safeway is their main competition locally, and I dislike Safeway even more.
