How much do you pay for green bell peppers?

[Nevernose]

Prices used to be cheap here (Las Vegas), but I'm now paying a dollar a piece for bell peppers. Is this indicative of the food prices everywhere, or is it just here?

Edit:
Green bell peppers used to be cheaper to buy than they were to grow, that is, by the time I added in water, fertilizer, and time costs, I could buy them cheaper than it cost me to grow them. What happened? How and when exactly did the bottom fall out of the bell pepper market?

1. two for a buck on sale

Usually 79 cents each. Pacific Northwest.

2. I paid .99 per

today, but it's seasonal. They should be cheaper in the summer.

Produce varies more widely in price than most other grocery items it seems to me.

3. Two for $1 or sometimes even three for $1 in the summer, but right now

green ones are $.59 each. $1.99/lb for yellow, red and orange
On Edit: I'm in Minnesota, sorry!

4. Maybe I should rephrase the question:

green bell peppers used to be cheaper to buy than they were to grow, that is, b uy the time I added in water, fertilizer, and time costs, I could buy them cheaper than it cost me to grow them. What happened? How and when exactly did the bottom fall out of the bell pepper market?

5. $1.89/lb Do you have a Trader Joe's in your area? They have frozen

peppers that are pre-sliced and much cheaper per pound. They're great in Fajitas, soups, and stir frys.

6. Normally Joe's is way more epensive than in CA, but I'll check

Thanks
