The week of 99 cents per pound

Wal-Mart in Olathe was advertising black plums at 50 cents per pound on Sunday. The promotion must have been a special "opportunity buy." While the deal was hot, many of the plums were too mature and I would assume shrink was running high.

Overall, though, the food section for Aug. 15 through Aug. 21 was the week of 99 cents per pound.
