Someone asked me if I saved money by freezing all these beans. The answer is I think so.
I did some researching. Consider this:
- I paid approx $1.30 per lb of beans, after bargaining with the farmer. $13 was knocked off the original price tag of $48 for 26.4lbs.
- Our local Loblaws currently has a sale on fresh green beans (product of Canada but not necessarily local); they are $1.49 per lb.
- At our local Loeb they are currently a whopping $2.99 per lb (product of Canada once again).
- If we consider frozen beans, at Loblaws a kilogram of Green Giant green beans sells for $2.99.
So overall, I think I did great if we consider only fresh beans. If we throw in the frozen beans, not as good. But then, there's the environmental cost. What is that worth?
