I would probably just stick to frozen for a while. I haven't noticed a change in those prices.0

Speaking of cauliflower...I bought some really pretty heads of cauliflower Saturday...orange, purple and green. I paid about $3 a head but they were on the small side. I couldn't resist all those colors.0

Yeah, I had to put some asparagus back because I was so appalled with the price0

$8.00+ a head up here in Toronto, frozen veggies is the way to go this winter!0
-

I paid $3 for a ginormous head yesterday. (It might have been only $2 - I don't remember for sure which it was.)0

You guys must live up in the tundra or something. A huge head of white cauliflower costs $2.99 where I live. Festival cauliflower costs $3.99.0

Another Canadian here!0 -
I live pretty much in Vancouver, BC so yea far from rural0

When fresh veggies are super expensive - head to the freezer aisle. Generally frozen veggies are packaged in season and thus are less expensive and they still have the nutritional value.0
-
Expensive here too. And I cannot stand many frozen veggies, cauliflower included.0

Time to grow your own!0

I bought a beautiful head of cauliflower last week for 5 dollars and told the cashier to handle it carefully, it was made of gold...this is a rough winter to be a vegetarian!!0

Except our growing season is about 16 weeks in a good year. I'm paying the crazy prices when I'm able too. Fresh from California tastes a lot better than frozen from Safeway.0 -
I've noticed it lately too. I am not paying $10 for strawberries, that's nuts!
Stupid Canadian dollar...grumble. At least gas has come down a bit.0
