Updated: Correctly Guess the Price of the Produce and Get a Patch Tote Bag

The first reader to correctly guess the price of the produce will get a Patch tote bag that is perfect for shopping.

Editor's Note: Congratulations to Nicky M., who correctly guessed the price of the produce at $10! I'll send her a Patch tote bag. That same produce would have cost me about $20 at a local grocery store.

Earlier this month, I bought my produce at —the weekly farmers market in Oceanside—and wondered how much the same products would cost me at a chain grocery store in town, so I went to find out.

I didn't notice an organic label at Sunset Market, so at the grocery store, I compared the same non-organic products and estimated that I would have paid twice as much.

The items I bought at Sunset Market:

  • 3 Heads of purple kale
  • 3 Tomatoes
  • 3 Avocadoes
  • 1 Bundle of asparagus
  • 1 Basket of blueberries
  • 1 Basket of jalapenos

How much do you think I paid at Sunset Market? (Hint: I made my purchase close to the 9 p.m. closing time.) I will send a Patch tote bag to the first reader who guesses correctly in the comments section.
