Assuming that a cabbage is 1kg, its about 60 cents to $1.50 in Tier 1 China cities and depending on where you buy whether at their market or atas supermarkets.

So at $1.90, it's is fairly reasonable given that the damn cabbage has to be shipped from Tiongland to here.

On broccoli, aussie broccoli is damn expensive, usually 2x or more the price of Tiong broccoli. But the Aussie broccoli has a better texture and taste...

Those Tiongland veggies don't look fresh.

Caipng stalls buy in bulk in their camping chain across the island. Even cheaper.

And little or no cancer-causing chemicals. You get what you pay for.

If you want to save money on food, fast.

And when you do eat, eat nutritious and high quality. That means as much as possible, stay away from Tiong produce. Case in point: the 'Shine Muscat' grapes and 'Fuji apples' from China.
