Farm stand haul vs Kroger — An Approximation
I wanted to find out more about the cost of juicing. I didn’t write down individual prices at the farm stand but I did at Kroger. I will revisit this spreadsheet when I go back to the farm stand later this week.
| Quantity | Item | Cost at Irma’s | Qty Kroger | Cost at Krogers | Notes | |
| 1 | Pumpkin | 6 | 1 | 1 | Kroger’s are dinky but their pie pumpkins were $1.00. I will get better pricing next time I’m at the store. | |
| 3 | Cucumbers | 1.25 | 3 | 1.77 | non-organic 0.59/lb | 0.99 organic |
| 2 | Green Peppers | 1.25 | 2 | 1.78 | non-organic 0.89/lb | 0.99 organic |
