Was in Sainsbury's last night - rhubarb was half price... £1.50 for three sticks. Had to force myself not to buy some... not 

Sorry, this isn't really a frugal living post as such... more a 'sarcastic' frugal living post

since one rhubarb plant would only cost around £1.50 and then produce many sticks a year for twenty years it shows why gardening makes sense

The four rhubarb plants I've put in this year have.... stuttered. I'm convinced three have just died, one is ok though.   

Unless the other three burst into life later on (or next year?!)

That just reinforces the news that we have some rhubarb millionnaires amonst our members

At least they've reduced their prices since I mention it here:

I just wander around the neighbours handing it out!!! Large clump will be split this autumn.

I,ve picked over 40 lbs of rhubarb so far this year and have been costing it in my diary at £1.80 a pound.  Looks like i have seriously underestimated its value

 At the above price I reckon we have been given about £55 worth by neighbouring plot holders this year. Ours is not yet established as the majority was moved in the autumn

The building may be derelict, but it and the grounds no doubt belong to someone, so unless you obtained permission to pick the rhubarb, this is theft which the forum cannot condone.

Unfortunately the chooks have trashed mine (not eaten it, just shredded it, probably for slugs) and when I saw some beautiful stalks in a local shop today I went to pick some up.....but it was £4.40 per kilo! Gave it a miss and hope for my own to get going now it is in a cage!

I feel wealthy.  Hope all the friends I've been happily handing out rhubarb to realise they are getting a gift worth £15-£20 (at full price!)

[arugula]

I saw some in Aldi. I should have looked at the price.
