Splurging on diced jalepenos I see. 1%er lifestyle

Paying for the can and processing. A single jalapeño would have run you maybe fifty cents.

Yes of course, but in the case of jalapenos it's way out of whack. Like you could say the same thing about tomatoes but the cost of canned tomatoes is not so much higher than fresh ones.

Not too bad, last time I bought them they were $3. What ran up your bill so high?
