Never been happier that I've been cooking and baking for 30 years so I can at least save some money making some things myself lol
Idk about you but I paid $2 for a single white onion the other day at Safeway. At this point even home cooking is $$$, it's insane. My farmer friends aren't exactly making more from their crops either.
I'm still easily finding a lb of onions for $4 at No Frills or FreshCo by my place, but the wild prices do seem to vary area by area as well.
I just grow what I can myself, or buy straight from local farmers where possible, but my access to farmers and farmers markets is a bit limited.
Sigh.
Have you looked into a local weekly produce box? Iโm admittedly outside of Toronto so my access is a bit easier, but Iโm sure there are services you can sign up for that would deliver. You donโt get to pick what you get, but itโs helped me to expand my cooking repertoire and I find the qualify and price is superior to most grocery stores.
