I went to the grocery in the "big city" this last weekend. I get to do this about twice a year. I bought fresh produce: Yams (10# $10), HUGE kale bunch 1.79 (same as 5 years ago), mushrooms $2.89# same as a year ago here. Tomatoes, hydroponic organic $2.89 same as the last year when they are full price. Boy choi 99 cents a #, half of what it has been for the past year. Red bell pepper $2.79 each, but they were $3 this time last winter. Blood oranges, always a special treat $2.89 a # and had twice a year if I can get them. Zucchini because I have already cleared a couple local gardners out, $1.79, but they were $1.99 in August. I got cottage cheese for $1.99 for the big container and eggs for $1.99 for 18 count. Left me in good position to buy 6 kinds of rice and other celiac-friendly food. Total? $80. I live alone and that will go for at least 2 weeks, the rice and stuff for 4 months or better. That racks up the same amount as it has been for the past couple of years, and probably a little better.
In my basket, not a box of crackers, cookies, snacks, chips or junk food. THAT has gotten sky high. Real food, you know the kind you cook? Still about the same prices. |
