The price of bananas?

I don't know how much they cost, but when I go to the supermarket, I'm always shocked at how cheap the bananas are and how expensive the tomatoes are.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Tomatoes were extremely expensive a few months back (I even made a thread here about it) but they've dropped back to reasonable prices."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben Kenobi

~1.2$ per kilo or so... hard to believe they are so expensive elsewhere.Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"

Well, the price in Norway of 1.8 means the average Joe needs to work less than two minutes to afford a kg. I call that very cheap.Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.-Isaiah 41:10
