plain old regular cabbage was $1.49/pound today at Albertsons. The last that I saw was 49 cents per pound. Green onions are $1.69 per bunch. Bell peppers are $1.49 each. I don't know what to blame this on. These were all U.S. grown produce. Janet US |

When I was working I used to cross border shop once in a while because some things were so much cheaper, like chicken, butter, milk... Produce always seemed to be the same price, except that it was American $ and the exchange rate was about 25%. When I was in California a couple years ago I was surprised to see bananas selling for 99 cents a pound when I could get them at home for 59 cents, which is about half the price. |

In cold winter areas cabbage can be pricy in February, best prices are in fall. If you like cabbage grow your own, harvest in fall and it can be stored in a cool place for 3-4 months... or buy when inexpensive, cook and freeze. This week nappa cabbage is on sale here at $1.49/lb. that's a dollar less than usual so I will buy a couple for Oriental dishes. Bok Choy is also on sale the same price. I grow cabbage but it never lasts until February unless I turn it into cabbage soup and freeze. I guess I can make kraut but that stinks, literally. One of my favorite cabbage dishes is sauted rough chopped cabbage in butter and tossed with wide egg noodles. This is not the time of year to find inexpensive cabbage in the US, best time is St. Paddy's Day, when there's a glut, could be 10¢/lb., sometimes free with a purchase of corned beef. |

I have been seeing acorn and butternut squash going for $1.99 lb most of the season and in years gone by that would have been lower. Rutabagas kept a high price this past season, too I wonder what they'll do about the cabbage as it gets closer to St Patrick's day? They used to have it as a loss leader for March 17th but who knows anymore? |

And then they discuss those commercials. They don't drink good wine. They drink coke. And then they discuss brands. I mean, come on, they elected Trump. |

Advertisers are assured of a very large television audience. They work to outdo each other to make funny, moving, or otherwise memorable commercials to air during the Super Bowl. Each one is a 30-second (or so) short film. The fee charged by the television network to air a 30-second Super Bowl commercial this year was $5.25 million. Every advertiser wants their commercial to get the most bang for the buck. > They are the most annoying part of any show.

Fact is, I'm not interested in gardening. I'm content to buy food from either the grocery store or the local farm stands. Cooked cabbage which has been frozen is surprisingly good. I do understand that's not what you were talking about. I don't know why there has been a sudden jump in the price of cabbage. Weather is the first thing to come to mind. Jill |

If you like tending the garden, enjoy, it can be a good hobby. It was work, not fun for me. Even with no garden, we usually had two or three tomato plants. You just cannot beat a fresh from the garden tomato. Even the ones from the farmer's market are not as good. A pot or two of herbs is easy too. |

A pot or two of herbs is easy too. I understand that. Gardening (even herbs) is not something I'm interested in doing. But I like plants. I've got some lovely non-edible blooming plants outside. I never have to use fertilizer. Last year they both stayed budded but didn't bloom. I didn't cut them back, just let them grow. Now they're both busting out with buds and blooms: :) https://i.postimg.cc/sx3XJpft/pretty.jpg and in a lighter shade: https://i.postimg.cc/L8G8Wd6k/pink.jpg The blooms this time of year make me feel happy and cheerful. :) Jill |
