Okra in Dallas is never below 2.49 per pound. I paid 1.49 per pound for Daikon last week. Same kind of purchase would have cost much much more here. Wow, all the prices are so low.

I consider myself pretty frugal, buy in bulk, and I cook most everything from scratch, but my weekly grocery bill is $35 for ONE person. I eat meat/fish rarely - maybe once every 2 weeks - and when I do it climbs up to $40 or more. I have made it a goal for myself to menu plan more in June, and to hold to my weekly budget. When I menu plan it stays low, when I impulse buy it can easily exceed my target budget. Lastly, I agree with everyone else - that's an awesome price for limes! Anjali: The farmers markets here in northern CA often have gongura leaves and drumstick leaves in summer. I can't wait! I am in AWE of both you and Inju.

With two kids under 10, our bill has not seen these amounts in years. It is easily 5 times that just for produce and then add in the milk, lunches etc and it is comfortably in 3 digits each week. Plus hubby and I after becoming vegetarian have gotten lazy about portion control and can easily polish off 2 lbs of veges for 1 meal. Wow, this makes me nostalgic.
