Grocery Store Economy

I went grocery shopping yesterday.  Here are the spoils:

The majority of the cart was produce.  I spent around $10 on a cantaloupe, a pineapple, two mangos, a bag of carrots, a bag of peaches, a bag of green beans and two onions.  The selection never really varies, but the quality of the produce frequently compares to the quality in the states - if you're willing to pick and choose here.


For the same price - around $10 - I bought two sticks of butter.  Granted, this is fancy butter, imported from Ireland.  And its delicious.  But its also the only butter in the store.  And our family can not live without butter.
