Prices Vary!



See this lovely array of produce I purchase at King Ranch Market (a local Mexican grocery store) today?
What do you suppose the total price was for all these items?

$5.14

We have here:
7 gala apples 2.55 lbs. @.69/lb. = $1.76
celery = $0.79
3 tomatoes 1.52 lbs. @.50/lb. = $0.75
4 brown onions 2.06 lbs. @ .33/lb. = $0.68
bunch of cilantro = $0.50
7 Valencia oranges 3.36 lbs. @.10/lb.= $0.33
1 huge grapefruit = $0.33

If I would have purchase these items at another grocery store like Stater Brother's or Von's I would have paid between 15 and 20 dollars total for these same items...believe me, I know my prices.

This is one of the perks of living near a lot of Mexicans!
