Went out to buy carrots. The grocery store was full of shoppers. Rushing to buy what they needed for the upcomimg Christmas Eve. I only needed celery and carrots. I was surprised to see the price of a carrot. That's around $1 already. How about in your place?

@Edsamacos You are right. For 1Euro (54Pesos at the moment), I can buy almost a kilo carrots here in our supermarket.

For one carrot? That is a lot. Here you can get 1 pound of carrots for about $1.50

I'm not sure what carrots cost here. We have enough money for our needs so sometimes I don't know how much things cost. I might know about expensive things but not regular purchases.

I forgot to buy carrots when I did my grocery this week. So when I needed it, off I went to the store.

@Edsamacos The shops are manic at the moment with people doing last minute shopping.

Carrots here are usually sold as part of a bag. I have rarely bought single carrots, but I am sure they wouldn't be a dollar a piece.

Good to know. If it is sold per bag here it would be so expensive.

I prefer the vegetable stand but have no time going to the farmer's market.

My country is an agricultural country, veggies are always fresh and inexpensive. Lucky me.
