My girlfriend is a bit of a health nut and is always buying from Wild Oats. She buys chlorophyll concentrate, different enzymes and extracts and organic stuff.

The other day, I was shocked at the prices on some of this stuff...a little bottle of enzyme tablets was $45 and there was another that was $60....then I saw alfalfa tablets (which actually work quite well, I must say) but $35 for a bottle of 500 of them (luckily, I've found much cheaper prices on them on the 'net).

I started looking at the prices and imagining the markup on them...

I'm thinking maybe I need to get into the health food biz...I was amazed

Has anyone else seen the prices at these places?

Anything organic has a ridiculous pricetag on it.

Back in the 60s.... everything was organic. It's just what we all called normal back then, not "organic" haha..
