[quote:Vision Thing:MV8xMTUyOTAwXzE4NTY0ODUyX0U2NURFRTNF] Sometimes they have huge juicy grapefruit three for a dollar here. Once they were even five for a dollar. Do you know how heavy a few dollars worth of those are to carry home? What else would give you more bang for your buck? Stuff that is always a good deal for quantity Celery Carrots Cabbage Potatoes onions - if you eat them, I used to Don't buy prepared stuff in bags like those bagged salads, get a head of leaf lettuce and wash it yourself, you can figure out ways to keep it fresh, i just wash the leaves and put them in a big bowl whole, put that in a plastic bag in the fridge, they keep a long time that way.

I can barely afford pesticide-ridden GMO fruits and vegetables, let alone organic! Organic has always been high but some of the prices I've seen for NON-ORGANIC are lately just flat out stupid. $5 for a 3-lb bag of gala apples? Ridiculous.
Thank God there are some local stores in my town that deal in produce exclusively and sell some decent local stuff for pretty cheap.....not organic, but local non-organic is still better than whatever foreign shit Publix, Kroger, Winn Dixie, etc. are selling.
It isn't fair that people who want to eat healthy have to pay so much! You wanna empty somebody's wallet, do it to the parents who are killing their kids with ravioli, Cheetos and Pepsi.
