that's cheap! maybe years ago but with all the Europeans and Canadians migrating down here, Americans can hardly afford it anymore. I hear they're all going to Ecuador now where it's cheap but probably won't stay that way long. NY standards, it's cheap here. But don't try to buy American products! A jar of spaghetti sauce will run you about $6 to $8 even! Cheaper to buy produce from local farmers and make your own!
