COME ON!

My latest trip to City Super in Times Square revealed some more extraordinarily overpriced foods. Note the head of broccoli which costs HK$42.70 (~US$5.55)! The Dragon Fruit costs about HK$39 or US$5 (To put this into perspective, in Taiwan, a dragon fruit costs about $1, and in HK a meal at a local restaurant costs about HK$30). Paying a premium for quality fruit and veggies isn't that crazy, especially for organic or imported goods. However, paying about 500% for these goods is crazy. (That said, I bought some $7 romaine lettuce the other day for my salad, and about $4 for my red bell pepper). COME ON!
