Prices are skyrocketing in my grocery store.

At my Save-a-lot this week,

Celery jumped to $1.99.
Roma Tomatoes to $1.49, but the selection was very poor. (They have been much higher sometimes in the past).

Bagged salad (12 oz) remained at $1.18.

Bananas at $0.57 (the price always varies).

Generally, so far, it seems only a few select items had sizeable price jumps.

Celery is $2.50 here.
I was like what the carp!!?

Roma tomatos $2.99

I found some supposedly “vine ripe” *yeah, right* from mexico last week for 99c lb.

They were awful!! they weren’t properly ripe, they were hollow inside with virtually no caviar.

They had to have been picked green.

The price of veggies coming out of Mexico is up because last week, week before they lost 80-90% of the crop due to a freeze, the likes of which they hadn’t had in 50+ years. That’s why Romas, green peppers, cukes and other stuff has jumped so suddenly. It will take about a month for those prices to come back down.
