$5 cabbages!?

February 20th, 2026 at 09:50 am

When it comes to vegetables, I am typically quite lax when it comes to cost.  Even when they're not cheap, I know it's healthy for me, and it's hard enough to get myself to eat vegetables on some days.

However, even I had to do a double take when I checked my recipt and realized a head of cabbage costed me $5 USD!  Is that even normal?

Coming back home, I googled the average market price for cabbages, and found out it is not!  Then I realized I might have bought organic cabbages by accident, but even then, $5 is still on the high side....

Certainly, everything costs more these days, but perhaps this particular grocery store is just expensive in general?  To me, it doesn't seem anything special.  I'm going to check out other grocery stores, that are further away, but may offer lower prices.

    No, that's definitely not a normal price for cabbage. Cabbage is usually one of the cheapest veggies you can find in addition to carrots and onions. Did you buy organic without realizing it?

    I bought cabbage at the Grocery Dollar General for $3 last week. It wasn’t helpful to me because I thought I was buying lettuce…
    Oops.

    Non organic cabbage is $2.64 at Walmart per their ap.

    I eXpact it will be a loss leader along with potatoes and carrots in the weeks before St Patrick’s Day.

    Patient: Yeah, I think I must have bought organic without realizing it, but even then, it's still quite high.

    LOI: Yeah, those prices are much more in line with what I thought I was going to pay.

    Hope you enjoy that expensive cabbage. That seems a bit high, even if it is organic, but you're worth it, right?

    Rob: Yeah, it was fine for just one time. For what it’s worth, I went to a different grocery store and checked their prices. Sure enough, their regular cabbage was half the price. I’ll be switching grocery store from now on.
