Over the past week while we were in Dallas I was re-introduced, let’s say, to something that I remember liking and is pretty cheap. One night for dinner my sister-in-law had made corn on the cob to go with dinner. I don’t know why I’ve never done this myself before, and I don’t think I’ve had it since I was a kid. Anyway, it was really good just with some butter, salt, and pepper.

So now that we’re back home, we went grocery shopping and I decided to look for some of this fresh corn on the cob. Not having bought this before, I can’t say whether the price of it has gone up or not in the recent past, but it’s still pretty cheap regardless. At both grocery stores we went to it was selling 3 for a dollar. That’s much cheaper than buying asparagus and many other vegetables.

It’s also really easy to prepare. All you do is just pull the husks of and break off the stem. Then you boil them for several minutes and you’re done. That’s really all there is to it. So if you’re looking for something new to try that’s fresh and still cheap, I’d definitely recommend getting yourself some corn on the cob.
