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!
