: I agree. When things go up I stop buying. I rarely buy fruits and veggies in the winter unless they have a good sale price. Why pay $3-$5 dollars for a pound of produce when you can get bags of chips that are BOGO often? Even right now it cost $4 for a pint of blueberries. A pint! I rarely buy meat anymore, only if it is on sale. I live on $1 banquet tv dinners, lipton noodles packs, oodles of noodles, ect. I want to eat better but who can afford it? In this society with so many people being overweight, you ever think that it is partly because fresh healthy food is so expensive?
Do you think that ther is a market need for a Co-op in this area for gorceries/produce? Just something I've been thinking about.
