I do the same here - often asking to see the produce manager and 
offering to take all the culls for 25% of marked price. If there are 
soft/discoloured spots I can trim them is short order. And the house 
smells so delightful whilst the chilies are drying.

Sign in local produce section (Schnuk's) Hot Peppers $1.99/lb. No 
differentiation from Anaheims to Habaneros ... allee samee, to quote one 
of my Chinese friends.
