      Every supermarket I ever went to had a vegetable aisle and potato sacks for a few €. Variety in produce may be low, but that’s what a Turkish supermarket is for.

      Granted, I never lived in an American BestBuy town, so this might be a cultural thing. But produce being unavailable or even just being out of one’s way seems insane to me. You sure that normal where you live?

          Well, same back to you. I never doubted you having that experience, but I asked if it’s normal.

          Your own source says it’s only 12.8% of the US living in such areas. So it’s safe to assume that OP would also be interested in the cheaper recipes that involve mostly produce. Your life experience isn’t universal either.
