Some Food Prices

When we went to the grocery one day, we decided to take a few pics of food prices. This was a bit humorous trying to take pictures inconspicuously. Here are a few random pictures of price tags on the items we buy back in the great USA for WAY cheaper. Since Australia uses the metric system, many of the produce is measured in kilograms which is approximately 2.2 pounds per kilogram.

To be fair to the bananas, the Queensland flooding this past December/January has wiped out a lot of the supply so prices have been jacked up since. However, you cannot convince us that they should be jacked up this high. Needless to say, we're missing out on some good potassium.



Notice that these prices are "slashed" from astronomically expensive to just painfully expensive.



Look at how expensive the Tabasco sauce is which we all know is made a few hours away from New Orleans in Avery Island, Louisiana.



And for all you Coke lovers out there, the following may not be suitable without being seated in a stable chair.



So go to your local grocery and give the manager a big kiss for us!
