Food prices, what have you stopped buying?

[Queen K]

I am five short weeks away from harvesting fresh lettuce, as long as this warm pineapple express trend keeps up.

As for today's seemingly unexpected wet snowfall, all it's doing is adding much needed moisture.

I haven't bought a bell pepper, for like, forever. $4.99/lb? Omigod.

I just ordered one of these.

I've got deer where I live and not nearly enough sunny window space to grow anything indoors. Hopefully this will provide a single gal enough lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, and peppers.

Have to like the $1 program at the store. Yesterday $4.00 got me:

1 pineapple
1 cantaloupe
4 Honeycrisp apples (1 had a little nick on the bottom)
5 bananas
1 beefsteak tomato
5 large on-the-vine tomatoes (1 had a small soft spot)
4 heads broccoli

WOW! That's pretty good - I bought a small flank steak for $9.62 yesterday and made a meal for two out of this with what I had on hand for sides.

Screw cauliflower. I bought the best pineapple I've tasted in my life at Urban Fare for $2.99.

I broke down and bought white mushrooms, but only because they were prime, clean and large. Finally worthwhile in other words.

I've already been able to harvest a few herbs from my first crop. Pretty handy considering the grocery store sells a small bunch for $3.00, when generally you only need a small amount at a time and the rest goes to waste.

Is that not one of the most frustrating things? LOL

Right?! And dry herbs really don't cut it in recipes that call for fresh. Like a nice mojito!
