so, we have tried pretty hard to cook a couple of times a week, and this means that we have had sticker-shock many times over the past month.
exhibit a: bananas
- $14.99AUD/kg (that's about $8.50USD/lb)
exhibit b: pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream
- $11.95 AUD/pint
exhibit c: lunch meat - pick your poison - ham, turkey, bologne, etc
- about $19.95AUD/kg
exhibit d: chinese take out
- $16.80AUD beef fried rice
exhibit e: case of local brew
- $44.95AUD...that hurts...
shopping at the local farmers market has proved more wallet-friendly, and we recently learned that all of the banana plantations were destroyed in a cyclone, so perhaps next year will be better...depending on how long it takes for a banana plantation to bear fruit???
