Grocery prices

Saturday we went for groceries. As I noted on FaceBook, our supermarket is now owned by a new chain and is undergoing a total interior reorganization. There were boxes and pallets and staff everywhere. Maybe half is in its new place, and the rest either still where it was or partially moved and set up. We didn't buy much produce as that area was under destruction. We did buy stuff for Christmas and New Year's to add to the stash. and we bought meat for pork and beans and meat to grind for cabbage rolls and 'cutletta', which I made today.

It has been a while since I posted Ukrainian food prices in USD and CAD so I gave it a shot today. I was surprised at how high some of the prices were and how low others were. The exchange rates are today's off the net and likely not what you would get at the bank
