USA Food Prices

[philyrossy]

Where we go in Texas (the Hill Country), H.E.B. and Wal-Mart compete for the food dollar, and both match the ad of the other. So, today we can buy apples, grapes, oranges for $ 0.67 per pound, bananas always for $ 0.48 a pound, strawberries for $ 0.98 a pound, kiwi 3/$1.00, 5 lbs. potatoes for $0.98, quality wheat bread at $1.50 a loaf, split chicken breasts at $ 0.98 a pound, etc. The high quality of the food and the availability of weekly specials makes (at least in this area) the food a much better buy than we have found anywhere in Mexico. Also filled up with gas today, $ 2.75.9 a gallon for unleaded. (Need a car to go to the store to buy.)
