It all started with my craving for a big sweet watermelon. I love watermelon. There is nothing better to crunch a summer thirst than a few big slices of cold and sweet seedless watermelon. I have been shopping at different places for good watermelons. Usually the best deal are ones that price by the whole instead of by weight. Trader Joe's usually have them for $3.99. I have seen them also at Costco for $6.99. At first glance you would think it is no-brainer to get the one from Trader Joe's. I then start paying attention at the difference in size. it turns out the ones at Costco is about twice as big, and is more consistently sweet. This year I have been having pretty good luck with the ones at Costco. The key is not to buy them too early in the season. life is no joy being stuck with a twenty-pounder that is too dense and bland.
