1 head iceberg lettuce
1 bunch celery
4 corn
4 red peppers
3 green peppers
10 bananas
2 lbs concord grapes
5 tomatoes (vine variety, I believe)
9 kiwis
1 cantaloupe (not affected by listeria now plaguing cantaloupe in the U.S.)
It has been awhile since I did a cost analysis, so I am going to do it this week. Look below to find out local cost of the produce we received today for $16.50 ($15 for the basket + $1.50 handling fee).
1 head iceberg lettuce = 1.00
1 bunch celery = 1.50
4 corn @ 1.00/3 = 1.33
4 red peppers @ 0.99 = 4.00
3 green peppers @ 0.79/each = 2.40
10 bananas: 4.5 @ 0.52/lb = 2.50
2 lbs concord grapes: 2 @ 3.99/lb = 8.00*
5 tomatoes: 2.5 lbs @ 1.49/lb = 3.75
9 kiwis: 2.5 lbs @ 1.49/lb = 3.75
1 cantaloupe: 3 lbs @ 0.69/lb = 2.10
All totals are estimated and rounded up or down by a few cents to make adding simpler. My total before tax would have been $30. That is approximately 45% in savings on fresh produce that lasts longer and tastes better.
*This one is off because I couldn't find a price for them online so I took the highest price I could find for seedless grapes because I know these are the most expensive kind.
