only if they are in season,and these days when they are local grown.
Not necessarily.
It’s way too early for any crops in the Midwest.
Interestingly, when produce is in season, prices at the various farmer’s markets are usually much higher than grocers.
Must be a bumper crop of asparagus, somewhere, this year. Prices have been the lowest I have seen in decades.
On the flip side, limes used to run about 10/ $1. I needed a dozen yesterday and paid $8+ as they were sold by pound. They were bigger and juicer than what is typically available. Time to freeze the juice.

Limes and lemons are sky high but have been for awhile. Lemons are $1 EACH. I guess the days of lemonade stands for kids are over. Well, with the price of lemons along with legal council needed to run such an enterprise these days, a glass would be $7.

Hey, I will send you my shopping list....just have them stick it in a box and overnight to me!!!
My wife just came back from Florida and said you can't believe how cheap food is there.
I am 45 miles NW of Chicago- about the same distance to the Wisconsin border.
It’s a highly competitive area for groceries and many independent green grocers within 5 miles.
Competitive grocery shopping has been a hobby of mine for several years. We do a lot of road trips and it is amazing the differences in prices all over the US.
I notice fish prices are soaring. Cod was $4/lb last year, it's $9 now. I use cod as an example as it is usually the least expensive fish besides tilapia and I refuse to eat that trash fish. Better species like salmon, mahi mahi, sole etc are also about double. Forget halibut or king/snow crab. You'd need to second mortgage your house for those.
even tilapia starts at 5 bucks a pound where i live, and that's for frozen. used to be able to pick up fresh swai and tilapia at H-mart (korean outlet) on sale for 2.99 not very long ago.
