That would depend entirely on what other foo is available to purchase and how much the other food costs. If there is a great variety of food available at a reasonable cost, then I would pay very little for a turnip. If I was starving and it was the only food available and there was a great deal of competition for it, I would probably spend a great deal. Spoken as a true economist, eh?

Turnips

i have no idea what they are supposed to cost and i suppose the only times i would buy one are

- need it for a recipe

- see it at a local farmers market.

overall i am relatively price insensitive when it comes to food and grocery prices. i have in the back of my mind that the cost of food for Americans is significantly lower and a smaller percentage of paycheck than most countries, so i figure it is all on the cheap side, even the expensive stuff.
