I don't even think I've seen half-dozen options in the store here, and frankly, I prefer, if I'm spending that kind of money on eggs anyway, to buy from the farmer's market. Of course, if you're lucky, you can find what you want at the farmer's market anyway, where it tends to be cheaper (or on par with)--and better--than grocery store selection.

Still cheap, but not quite that cheap ;) I think they are all good choices, but I can’t say I can buy any of the items you have on there for the prices you listed (6 eggs run about $1.50, bananas are $.78/lb, kale is $1.50 – $2 per bunch).

Great post - in fact if I look at your list I cannot help but reminding myself that it all comes from the fields! All natural, baby! No processed food, whatsoever! A whole world survived like this for generations! Not to speak that you have about 95% of all nutrients needed right there!! Excellent post!!!! Gabi @ Mamaliga. Zesty!
