How much does garlic cost in your country?

Here in Europe prices are insane.Just couple of years ago you could get a kilo for 1-2€. Now a kilo costs up to 10 €. Has garlic become a luxury?

Albany, ny area, theyre usually about $0.75 a head. all the groceries here sell them by the head rather than weight.

2 decent sized heads for $1 here in mountain-and-hipsterland, USA

Vancouver Canada: $1 for 2 heads, 3 if it's from China...

usa. cheap as fuck. less than 50 cents a head.

In Seattle, at one of my local grocers, $5 a pound, which ends up being a bit over 2 dollars for 5 heads.

At my local Asian market in Texas it's like a dollar for 5 heads.

That would be like 12$ a kilo. That's pretty expensive. I can still find a kilo for less than 5€, but just a couple of years ago a kilo was like 2€.

if garlic is expensive as fuck where you live, just remember you can grow your own

how much fucking garlic do you eat that you need to buy it by the kilo and how fucking poor are you that something that only costs pennies is a luxury

It's pretty worrying when something goes from 2 to 10 euro in a year dude.

its literally the exact same price as ours now.

seems like euros are finally learning how to cook.

I've only started cooking recently and I was unaware that garlic used to be cheaper a couple years ago. I figured that garlic is relatively expensive partly because it is so low in water content (so you are buying more actual vegetable matter), plus you use comparatively little of it.

I either grow my own, or forage for wild garlic when supplies run low

Like 50c each

Same. In North Jersey Stop & Shop has them for $0.50 each.

This desu guys, growing garlic is probably the easiest thing, and you can use the green part as it grows to put over salads or whatever you want.

Yeah, I was actually amazed and how easy it was (to the extent that I had to start culling some of the plants because I couldn't keep up).

Never tried using the greens on salads though - kind of want to try that now

It adds a milder garlic smell and taste. Like a stronger ciboullette. I toss it over salads, on chicken soups, goes great with seafood, etc. Try it.

Definitely will do

Free because it grows fucking everywhere

Grow and freeze a bunch of it for when it's out of season. It grows rampant in pretty much all of Europe
