25 big ones

 What can approximately $25 get you?


6 honeycrisp apples
3 pacific rose apples
1 bunch of asparagus
2 bunches of lettuce
3 handfuls of cherry tomatoes (depending on the size of your hand)
2 big carrots
3 packages of cut and ready to eat pomelo 
2 large bottles of fresh passion fruit juice
1/2 a kilo of red grapes
1 bell pepper
2 bunches of pretty flower
5 bananas
2 freshly made belgium waffles
a 2 mile run with good girlfriends
a sweaty taxi ride home :)

most expensive things:
1. grapes: about $4 for a 1/2 kilo. Yikes. Expensive, I know... I vowed I wouldn't buy grapes here and I didn't our entire first year, but I've learned that there are expensive things here that you just simply decide to spend your money on because you want/crave them... like grapes and cheese. But there are plenty of inexpensive things here that balance everything out, like 30 cent pineapple from fruit dude.


2. honeycrisp apples: 6 small ones or 3 big ones for $3. Pretty equivalent to how it would be in the states, I suppose

3. fresh passion fruit juice: 2 big bottles for $4. I've grown to love this stuff and definitely look forward to the refreshing tartness of it after a run.

This is what fresh passion fruit looks like (since the juice looks like mustard or some other nasty thing)


You just can't beat these prices though:

1. pretty flowers for less than $2

2. 2 hot belgium waffles for about $1.50
