I was able to stop by a “ranch” produce market on Monday afternoon, and quite surprised to see that most of the vegetables and fruits were product of the USA. It is common in Arizona to see that a lot of our produce comes from Mexico.
Here’s what I found:
- $2.99 – 4 pounds red grapes
- $1.35 – 8 zucchini squash (3.97# @ $0.34/#)
- $1.00 – 2 bunches radishes
- $1.00 – 2 small heads red leaf lettuce
- $1.00 – 2 medium/large heads cauliflower
- $1.00 – 1 large head broccoflower
- $1.00 – 3 yellow bell peppers
- $1.55 – 5 medium tomatoes (2.63# @ $0.59/#)
- $1.31 – 8 brown onions (3.36# @ $0.39/#)
- $1.19 – 5 peaches (1.73# @ $0.69/#)
- $1.00 – 2 bunches green onions
- $0.82 – 6 Bartlett pears (2.42# @ $0.34/#)
No tax for food in the small city I was in.
It has been such a long time since I’ve seen these kinds of great prices for produce. The zucchini was beautiful and fresh. I love zucchini squash, and haven’t seen it that cheap in I don’t know when.

I stopped by a store yesterday that specializes in produce, fresh flowers, plants, and organic (expensive) and gourmet groceries.
Cauliflower was 2.79 A HEAD. TWO SEVENTY NINE. This is September in Michigan. Cauliflower is being picked everywhere right now. Tomatoes should be at give-away prices. New crop of apples are coming in. Squash should be 3/$1, not $1.39 A POUND.
Not sure what’s going on here in my state, but I usually eat really cheap during Sep & Oct because of the farm stands everywhere, but not this year.
I’m in shock.

Mary, I don’t blame you, I’d be in shock, too!! I like to try to eat seasonally, but the stores sure don’t want to help us out any there sometimes. I hope your prices go down soon! Thanks for stopping by!

Good buys! If the “ranch” market is the one I’m thinking of, you might like Lee Lee. There’s one at Dobson and Warner, in Chandler. Amazing produce; often the prices are good.
