Last year, five for a dollar.
Yesterday, five for two dollars.
Like garlic, I can't live without lemons.

Tariffs and attacks on farm workers. Shame.

(4,740 posts)They were in pots and we brought them up to the patio and covered them with blankets, but it was just too cold too long. But Im tempted to try again. They were Meyer lemons, which I think are dwarf anyway, but way too big to get into the house or garage. Of course, electricity was out for days so there was no way we could use heating to save them. The memory of their flavor is enough to tempt me to try again.

(2,494 posts)I bring my trees inside during the winter and my Meyer lemon is having a productive year. If you have electricity there are ways to protect it outside during a cold spell. Life is short get another lemon tree.

(23,856 posts)I stopped in at a small Asian grocery to look for spices. They had a few fresh produce items, including nice fresh lemons 3/$1 I doubt they were organic, so that might be a drawback for some.

and they're not big lemons, either.
I rarely buy any lemons but I see the sign. I dont know how much they are at Kroger, where I also shop.
