This reminds me of an argument I had a few Thanksgivings ago with an aunt who loudly proclaimed that the $0.49 can of black beans from the bargain store is exactly the same as the $3.49 can of black beans from the supermarket.
Next time your in your local Hispanic or Asian market, go and see what those same beans cost. It won’t be anywhere near the price of Safeway or Wholefoods.
My local Whole Foods charges $0.89 for a 15oz can.
