I got broccoli for about 45p yesterday.
Strawberries are always very expensive here during the winter, though - they're way out of season. They get cheaper again in June/July.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.
The only time that I buy frozen is if it goes in soup or a casserole. I don't like the texture of frozen vegetables.
To continue buying fresh at these prices I have just cut back in other places. It is worth the sacrifice to me.0 -
brutal here, north Canada, we have not even been buying celery. broccoli is dirt cheap tho.0

Broc is 1.98 a head at Food Basics this week!0 -
I haven't bought fresh veggies in a while because of this.. Even broccoli is $3 a pound. Not worth it. So I buy frozen, but I really want to roast veggies and it's just not happening.
I saw some cauliflower at $3 last week but they were tiny so I didn't even bother.0 -

Our family grows some vegetables in the spring/summer. However, it's not possible for a lot of people who live in condos or apartments. Especially not possible for most of us in the northern hemisphere in the dead of winter .0 -
That's nothing. I broke a filling on a carrot. Dental bill will be about £50.0

BTW surely, it's to be expected. Buy local and in season = cheaper and lower environmental impact, right?0

I live in Ontario, Canada and the cheapest I have seen it in the past few weeks if $7.99

Don't break your arm...I now have a $65,000 arm that is still weak and at times painful.
Makes cauliflower look cheap!0 -
Broccoli and cauliflower are both expensive in SE Michigan, so I haven't bought any for a couple weeks now. Really missing my roasted broccoli.

In that case, I'm flabbergasted that Canadians are not just buying broccoli, which is in the same botanical family as cauliflower. Sure, it won't work as well (if at all) in pizza crust, but then I'm not one who needs to hide my vegetables.
I ate more quinoa before it became trendy and expensive, as demand outstripped supply. Now I rarely buy it, cuz there are plenty of other foods in this niche. Ditto for the cruciferous vegetables.

These are the cruciferous:- Arugula
- Broccoli
- Broccolini
- Broccolini rabe
- Bok choy

... That leaves ice fishing since hunting season is long over.
Local... This is ranching country so beef, but that isn't cheap either.
It costs my about $300+ per week to feed a family of 5 with cheapest brands available, and limited processed foods. Boo. What is our dollar now! 0.69$? Humph.0 -
Crazy! Our cauliflower broccoli most veg is about £10

I picked up a small bag of grapes recently, at the check out, it rang up to $10.00, I was like um no thanks.0
