Bosc Pear |
The Bosc pear (photo) cost $1.74 US dollars.
In comparison, one slice of cake with icing costs in this area of Vermont, $1.99 US dollars. A ready made sandwich about $5.99 US dollars. A one scoop hard ice cream cone costs over $3.00 US dollars.
Fresh, (as they can be), fruits are a bargain. Plus, they are healthier than a lot of foods we pay a lot more for.

I'd rather lean heavy on fresh produce and cut back on other not as healthy foods to have a better balance in my food budget.
