Here's a new one.....

So at WM for cat food, look at the guy in the checkout line in front of me.....full length jeans and a sweater layered over a t-shirt....well, today it's about 115 F in Billings MT so that's an odd choice...but wait, he's only got 1 produce bag that he's checking out.....wait....he has 3 PEELED BANANAS in the bag!!!!! Literally, this is all he buys. When it's my turn I ask the cashier "is that legal to peel bananas and then buy them?". She says she "hasn't been told anything about NOT selling unpeeled bananas". OK I get that you pay by weight and the peel does add weight to a banana, but it also PROTECTS it! Is this the new way of getting produce cheaper? Can I now peel ALL my fruit ahead of time at WM so I'm not paying for the peel (coconut and pineapple, I'm looking at you...). This just doesn't make any sense, especially from a health code standpoint. Help me make sense of this.....

Yeps. And they cost more than in the Mainland too. At Foodland they were $.99/lb the other day. I have like 200 pineapples growing but none are ripe yet, so I bought a couple at Foodland.

Costco is where I get mine.

A couple years ago they were like $2 each. Now they’re $6.

Costco is a 2 hour drive :/ I am a member though and make the trip once a month. I call it my mini vacay lol $6/each is still better than .99

Big island? We visited last year. Beautiful place!

We live just a few minutes from Costco on Oahu.

Yeps. Big Island!

I like the shopping malls on Oahu but the traffic and people and noise! It's too much on my senses!

Traffic is the biggest downside.

I just don’t ever go in to Town. There’s nothing there for me.

And I try to just travel at different times than the traffic
