FOOD COST
Its getting there! I saw some tomatoes today for $5 a pound (them what has stems protruding.)
Two handfuls of green beans about $3.
Cherries about $4 a pound with seeds.
Orange juice $3.
Vidalias at about $35 a bushel if they were sold that way.
Georgia peaches (green) at $1, but good ones at $3 from CA.
Bread at about $3 for a small loaf.
Sliced deli meat at about $9, and cheese at $8 per pound.
Good steak at $12 per pound unless about to expire. That is about $10,000 per cow.
(Well, maybe $8000---some meat is cheaper.
Bananas are approximately twice the cost last year and not very good. Didn't know they were made out of oil.
Coffee is $7-10 per 12 ounces---I mix it with hay barn scrapings at $2 per pound.
Restaurants can't charge double for plates of food since last year so many are quitting or serving practically nothing for $19 lunch and $16 for supper. No steak unless $28. Wonder what Chops and Bones gets nowadays?
