Don’t forget the $66 side dish.

Retailer Neiman Marcus has unveiled a $66 (plus $15.50 shipping) side dish of frozen collard greens.  That’s right, folks..for the low, low price of $81.50, you can have some frozen greens delivered frozen to your door.  Can you say, “More money than sense” here?  COLLARD GREENS.  ALMOST $100 FOR COLLARD GREENS.
