local food cost questionToday, I went to our local ecological (aka organic) butcher and bought a whole roasting chicken (at roughly 5.5 pounds, what I'd refer to as a "proper...
Ok, dumb question by why do folks refer to grocery stores as *stupidmarket*? I haven't been able to figure it out. What little groceries I need, I buy from a m&p (mom & pop) owned small grocery store or a franchise owned larger grocery store in town. It is a real treat for me to shop at a really huge grocer store in the city and I really enjoy browsing through US grocery stores like Farmer Jack. I just don't get where stupidmarket comes from.
My word that is expensive! I buy free range chickens cleaned and ready to roast for $5 CDN. The same size grain fed chickens in the grocery stores are about $8 CDN. I did see organic chicken in one US grocery store my last trip over. IIRC it was in the 6 lb range for $8 US.
Turkeys are expensive here at somewhere around $2-lb CDN for frozen and a little more for fresh and these aren't organic either. Some of the US stores put frozen turkeys on sale for 29 cents US when it get near the US Thanksgiving providing you buy $20 worth of groceries. Some US stores also put turkeys on for buy one get one free but I haven't seen any of those this year. I'm able to take advantage of these types of offers so can stock up on turkey and if I'm lucky I can get great deals on lamb another expensive meat here. I haven't seen organic turkeys here but I'll bet the larger centres have them and they are likely very expensive.
Denmark sounds very, very expensive! Are the wages higher? What are other food prices like?
