I've got a $350+ pair of steel toed Redwings in the closet. Decided they hurt too much to wear so I'm babying my 8 year old $95 out of production Wolverines.
Many of the SKUs in the produce department at Kroger and Walmart appear to me to be grades B, C, or even D in some cases. Some of it actually looks rotten when the clerk is stocking the tables/shelves.
This lower grade (not USDA Grade A) produce costs a fraction of Grade A and allows for...
Not dropping, just changed what metrics were used (a little). I'm convinced Kroger is selling Standard as Select. When my dad owned a Piggly Wiggly grocery store in the late 1960's and early 1970's, Select grade was ground for pet food. Most customers would not buy it for human consumption...

That's an old 5 line with a desirable serial number range, plus it's a National Match, not a "Standard Issue" rifle.
