Nah, not embarassed- just wiser ;-)
If you are buying in bulk, $2/lb would be considered an outrageous
price. Locally, I let them go for about $1.50/lb retail. You shouldn't
be paying over $1.40/lb bulk. You need also be aware that shipping that
kind of distance means you are going to lose 20% - 30% of them. Your
finished price per pound will be that much higher due to losses.
If you'd just drive a few (okay several) hours west next fall, you can
take back all you'd need ;-)
