Tomatoes and chickens
In Nice, at this time, I have little trouble buying wonderful tomatoes at less than $1.25-50 USD/lb, but am unable to find any chicken breasts priced under $5 USD/lb. Both prices are pretty stable and seldom do we see sales here similar to those there that might drop chicken breast prices to $2/lb. I'd like to understand why these prices in both places work the way they do.
