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.

US produce prices always surprise me. 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.

Depends where you live. 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.

But it is a German word and you always like German words.

It's been 50 years since cabbage was 10 cents a pound
You think a jump from 49 cents/pound to $1.49/pound is not
remarkable?

Last St. Paddy's Day cabbage was 9¢/lb. Potatoes and carrots were
cheap too. Corned beef was a bit pricy around here, however in NYC
corned beef was also cheap. At St Paddys Day most gin mills in NYC
serve all the corned beef and cabbage one can eat for free... just
keep drinking green beer.

When you say "Last St. Paddy's Day", you mean St. Paddy's Day 1954,
right?

2018. Wherever there's a large Irish community St Paddy's Day viands
are practically free. At Passover in NYC matzo is dirt cheap, a 5 lb
box imported from Isreal is $4.89. In NYC on Fridays fresh seafood
is almost free, at gin mills it's absolutely free.

cabbage here for St. Patrick's day is 49-69 cents/pound. Doesn't get
cheaper for the Day

I can remember my mother saying y-e-a-r-s ago to never pay more than 10¢ per
pound for cabbage. Boy, would her eyes pop today if she went to buy it
and saw the price!!

Yes, I grow cabbage. I have no place to grow it or store it for
winter. Some of us just have to use the supermarket for things.
(P.S., I believe that I have pictures of cabbage I have grown on my
Photo bucket page)

There has been some talk of California produce being more expensive due
to the weather problems. Once their prices go up, others will follow.

Wow.Produce prices have really jumped. 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?
