Climbing Produce Prices

Sometimes when I go to the grocery store, I wonder how much longer we will be able to continue to make preserves. Case in point, earlier this week, I went to that grocery-household-pharmacy store we all have in our towns and cities to pick up an anniversary card. (Hubby & I celebrated our 49th anniversary this week). On my way to the card section, I walk by some very ripe-looking but very small peaches. The price was 97cents! I'm thinking, WOW, that's a good price! However, upon closer inspection I saw that price was per peach!!! Ninety-seven cents for one (small) peach??? That price will have to go a lot lower before I get any peaches from there! I sure hope my local supplier does not decide to follow suite. Here's another case for you. Last week, the only green tomato supplier I know in the area raised his prices to $43.00 per flat box of 25 tomatoes. That's $1.72 per tomato! That price is up by $23 dollars per box from last year this time.
Looks like we might have 3 options:
1. Try to grow some produce like we did when we lived in North Carolina OR
2. Try to find cheaper suppliers OR
3. Put the lid on the canning pot and call it a day!

Only time will tell on this one...
