The cost of canned and frozen vegetables has really gone up in the grocery stores around me. Used to be a standard 4 1-pound bags of store-brand frozen veg for $5. Now each bag is $2.25. They are pushing people to buy a 14 ounce bag for ~$1.30 under a new label but it’s still the store brand. I havent seen a decent sale on canned tomatoes in 2 months, or canned beans or canned brand-name veg. The brand-name canned beans and veg is ~$1.25 per can and the store-brand is $1. It’s odd. The so-called sales are nonsense, paying $2.50 for a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes is not sale. Literally the new higher price is advertised as a sale!
I am glad I stocked up during real sales in 2018, but i sure hope to see some more real canned good sales soon. I was wondering if this is just a local phenomenon or if others here are noticing similar.
