In Winchester, VA:
I don't have any apples in the house now to see how much a 'regular' or
'normal' apple would way - depending on the type.
But apples here seem to start around $1.29 a lb. now.

Cauliflower - $3.49 ea

Broccoli 2 large stocks $2.99 for 2 stocks

Grapefruits (and oranges) $1 each


I don't dare go to Whole Foods and look at their prices, if these are the
prices in the sticks, so-to-speak.
