Doubled.
Lettuces, cucumbers, all kinds of vegetables.
Oddly, avocados are only 99 cents. (From cold storage, no doubt.)
This is going to be a real problem for many families.

Quality is crap, too. I suspect partly weather, plus the tariffs so any imported stuff is more. A lot of our off season produce comes from south of the border.

* I usually buy my produce elsewhere, unless there is a good sale at Kroger (which is closer).
