Are you saying vegetables, meat and rice are more expensive per serving than pre-packaged food where you live?

    I've gone to frozen and canned veggies over fresh. Fresh costs nearly .75 more per item, and seems to spoil faster now (I'm assuming due to labor shortages). Taste is a bit off, but I need to save. Come Spring I'll grow some of my own, and hit the Farmer's Market from time to time. But so many growers in my area are now selling at "bespoke" prices. $10 for a small brown bag of apples as an example. Due to them being rarer found varieties.
