How much is ginger for you? Where to get it cheap?
How much is ginger for you? Where to get it cheap?
I've been interested in making a ginger bug. Seems easy enough and can carbonate soda. Went to buy some this weekend and it was $4/lb. That seems like a lot! For reference, I usually buy fruits for the family or fermentation when they're $1/lb and never go above $2/lb.
I plan on growing my own, prelim researching says it's easy enough, but until then, where do you get yours and how much is it?

oh that site is neat.
US$ 0.88 and US$ 1.76 per pound(lb)
WTF my grocery store?!
Find a farmers market or an Asian food market.
Hispanic market too. They sell it for 90¢/lbs at my favorite but $3 a hunk at the Walmart
Farmers markets in my area are 2x expensive as grocery stores. I've never been to a market cheaper than grocery.
$3.99 a pound here too! We do live in a high cost of living area, but damn.
