How Much Do Fruits and Vegetables Cost?

Talking about what to eat on a budget led me to this report by the USDA:

How Much Do Fruits and Vegetables Cost? (pdf), Economic Research Service of the USDA, February 2011

Processed fruits and vegetables weren't always more or less expensive than fresh. I saw that, for example, carrots were cheaper to eat fresh, but peaches were cheaper to eat canned.

Carrots:

• Fresh 0.77/lb
• Canned 0.69/lb
• Frozen 1.19/lb

• Fresh 0.25/cup
• Canned 0.34/cup
• Frozen 0.39/cup

Peaches:

• Fresh 1.84/lb
• Canned 1.05/lb

• Fresh 0.66/cup
• Canned 0.58/cup

Some graphs from the report (you can click them for better resolution):





So, the least expensive vegetables were potatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, and carrots. The least expensive fruits were watermelon, bananas, honeydew, oranges, and grapefruit. (Mangoes were cheaper than apples?)
