And this was a fish place that I go to every Friday.
King crab would go on sale for 8.88 then shot up to 20 decade ago. Now if you can even find it it's 60 a lb. Grilled Salmon has to hit the spot now.

I shop for our family and a couple of people who can't go for themselves, so I am there almost daily. Prices on some items goes up every day. One of the people likes the frozen, fully cooked sausage patties. Off brand has gone from $5.99 to $8.99 in a month.

All lunch meat here is at least $8.99 a lb. in the deli. It was $4.99 last year.

an interesting long article about how this situation may not help US wheat farmers much at all.

i know exactly the sausage patties you're talking about because my kids love them. last time i bought them they had gone from 5.99 to 6.99, but that's been at least a couple months.

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.
Mexico grows asparagus. The stuff I bought recently for $.99/lb was from Mexico

Weird, I pay $2.99 for ordinary stuff and $6.99 for top shelf like Dietz and Watson or Boar's head.

Walmart prices vary store to store. I am less than 5 miles from 2 Walmarts and prices on some things ( not just food) vary.

I have seen the same. I also noticed there are very few sale items from the deli.

My point was that locally - grown is rarely cheaper, not that anything is growing in the Midwest, right now.

The US imports fresh fruits and vegetables from 125 countries. Mexico is the source of 77% of imports. Consumers want year round fruits and vegetables.
