惜福


guess how much this pair of tomato?
or how much is the cucumber?

not cheap.... really not cheap.

5-6 stalks of spring onion? S$2 plus.

Cucumber? S$1.20 each

Pineapple? S$7-$8 each.

Crazy? no... it's really happening there, and it's normal.

i come from Singapore where i have the liberty of buying fresh groceries with reasonable price.
or maybe i'd not stayed long enough in Yellowknife so i am not too sure how the price is worked out.

It's too cold to grow anything there. Almost every veggies you see here are brought from the South, which is warmer to grow these.

i should say i am quite fortunate to be able to eat fresh and cheap veggie here.
