I get Braeburn apples for about .98/pound to about $1.49/pound.
The last cauliflower I purchased was almost $3.00. Those prices were at
the military commissary.
I went to Sam's Club and purchased 10 pounds of incredibly HUGE navel
oranges for $8.88, and the count was about 10 in the bag. So .88/pound
isn't too bad, yet your prices beat those easily.

Prices vary greatly by location it seems. Jill quotes meat prices I
can't routinely get. Last night I did get a good price on boneless,
skinless chicken breasts for my chicken picata at $1.99/pound. I stocked up.
