And, in the whirlwind tour I spotted this in a thrift shop:
There is so much wrong with it - and I'm not referring to the competence of the artist - that I can't even begin. But what really unnerves me is the familiarity of the woman - I know her from someplace - is it Sam from Sex and the City? Or someone I used to work with? I don't know but it haunts me in the worst of all possible ways...

Now, my hood, the Co-op is the first choice, followed by Safeway. Prices roughly the same, although Safeway sells the spicy Thai chilies at $1.00 less than Co-op, still too expensive, $3.00 for 50 grams of chilies and a whole lot of extraneous packaging.
Am I supposed to eat these or snort them?
You can buy the same at Save-On Foods for around $10.00 per pound, which works out to about 80% cheaper - more or less, but Save-On is a bit of a drive away and I can't eat THAT many chilies to justify the gas.
But today, up in the NE, stop by H&W Produce, and - WOW, I've grown too used to being fucked over by Co-op. 98 Cents per avocado, and some are even ripe. At Co-op, $2.50, $3.00 per, and you're buying futures, they're so hard they won't be ripe for weeks. Field-berries for $1.28 a package...Habanero Peppers for $7.00/lb, beets $1.27/lb, I could go on.
Suffice it to stay I'll stick with Co-op for trivial, non-green-grocer things, but for produce it's H&W all the way. I saved - VS Co-op - easily $12.00 today - on a $7.00 purchase.

Spotted this in a thrift shop and had to share:
I think it's Jesus. Probably it's drawn very true to life, I wasn't there, but it could probably benefit from a bit of restoration...
