Went out to buy carrots.
The grocery store was full of shoppers. Rushing to buy what they needed for the upcomimg Christmas Eve.
I only needed celery and carrots. I was surprised to see the price of a carrot. That's around $1 already.
How about in your place?

Omg
That's very expensive for just under 250g of carrot.
200 pesos is about £3 which is what you were charged per kilo
We pay £0.40 per kilo
Wow you pay 7 times more than us approx

For one carrot? That is a lot.
Here you can get 1 pound of carrots for about $1.50

That is so expensive. I bought one for salad and it is almost the same.

@Edsamacos The shops are manic at the moment with people doing last minute shopping.

@Edsamacos You are right. For 1Euro (54Pesos at the moment), I can buy almost a kilo carrots here in our supermarket.

Carrots here are usually sold as part of a bag. I have rarely bought single carrots, but I am sure they wouldn't be a dollar a piece.

Good to know. If it is sold per bag here it would be so expensive.

I prefer the vegetable stand but have no time going to the farmer's market.
