<\/a>Jersey cabbage<\/p><\/div>\n
It\u2019s May and there\u2019s fresh food available but not enough to put fresh vegetables on the table daily so I\u2019m still shopping. It\u2019s time to find the local farmers market in my new state.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Cabbage: $1.29 a pound. I bought it because I’ve been craving coleslaw but it kind of hurt a little. grocery shopping is expensive<\/span><\/li>\n
- Carrots<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0 They are dry and many of them were cracked, and they’re .99 cents a pound. I moved on to the organic section and found nice carrots for $1.49 a pound. I’m sure this is less expensive per pound. They don’t have to be peeled because they are fresher, and because they aren’t overgrown and cracked. They’ll be great in the coleslaw.<\/li>\n
- Broccoli: Soft and starting to flower. $1.99 a pound. The stems’ ends were dried out.<\/li>\n
- Peas<\/strong><\/a><\/span>: $4 a pound. It takes about a pound of freshly picked peas to get one cup of peas after shelling.\u00a0 Who can afford to pay $4 a cup for peas? Oh my gosh, grocery shopping is expensive.<\/li>\n
- Spinach. I looked at baby spinach with the thought of adding it to my salads and quiche (the hens are laying full force so I’m eating a lot of quiche). It was packaged in a plastic container. $9.09 per pound. I can buy a lot of spinach seeds for $9.00.\n
