There are a lot of things that I don't buy when they price is high and the quality low. A few years or so ago I was in a local grocery store and my wife suggested that we get some green beans. They were out of season and quite expensive. The beans were a dull green, looked dry and had a lot of brown spots. I told her that they was no way I was paying that price for such rotten looking beans. A man who was filling a bag with beans looked at me and said I was right, and then he dumped out his beans and went looking for something else.
I love mangoes, but it is really hard to find nice mangoes here. They usually sell for about $1.89 each. If I can find one that looks like it is fully ripe and ready to eat I will get it, but I have given up on taking them home to ripen. Never the less, I envy people who live in areas where they can get nice ripe mangoes cheap.
