Cabbage

[onewhitepaw]

Planned to cook a nice cheapish dish with cabbage today, put a 1,2kg cabbage in my basket and it was going to cost me £6. I’m not in the UK, and I basicallly live next to the fields where cabbage is grown. The cabbage didn’t even look fresh. It just isn’t a reasonable price, is it? Just crazy. I never thought I’d put a cabbage back..

What country are you in?

Can you pick me a cabbage next time you’re going past please.

That’s some pricey fucking cabbage. And the weirdest “cost of living!!!” thread I’ve seen to date.

Are you in Australia, OP?

This is a nice story.

You do know we have a “Chat” board, @onewhitepaw , if you fancy a natter about vegetable prices?

what is the “AIBU” part of your post?

Yeah, I had a similar thing when I had to pay £2 for one fecking tomato. It was Waitrose but still !!!

No I’m not, I’m as far away from Australia as you can get.

Scandinavian country.

Is that overpriced in comparison to other veg in the country you're in or is it generally a very expensive country?

The reality where I live atm, glad you think it’s just a nice story.

I buy frozen veg, much less waste, I like frozen chopped cabbage and its cheap and I just chuck it in

Its weird seeing the pound sign but you aren't in the UK. Whats the conversion rate?

Everything has just sky rocketed, was expensive before but this is just a whole new level. Carrots are cheap, but tomatoes and cabbage are just too expensive to buy.

Sounds great, but frozen cabbage does not exist here.

That's a crazy price . Do they not grow cabbages in Scandinavia?

Bloody hell.. is everything skyrocketing where you are?!

OP did say they live next to the field where the cabbages are grown.

Which country? I went to Norway a few years ago and it was about £4 for a can of soft drink

Oh give over.

If MN wanted Thread Police they'd ask for them.

They’re about 60p here - I suddenly feel like we’re winning!

@onewhitepaw

have you tried buying them direct? Helping yourself?

£6 for a cabbage, not a bloody chance!!

Do a Peter Rabbit and go under cover of darkness to said next door field. They won't miss one!

Although at that price they are probably grown with security tags.

Thanks @TooMuchToDoTooLittleInclination

Helping myself? You mean stealing then? No, I have not.
