Fruit and veg are very seasonal here, a few weeks back, we could buy strawberries at 4000 pesos for 2kg. Now they're twice the price. Tomato season is starting, I got a bag of 4kg included in a bigger bag of fruit and veg for 5000 pesos. I'll keep buying and keep making and bottling tomato sauce. Cucumbers are cheap now as well, I need to start pickling. Prices for lemons seem to be spiking, though oranges and lemons are normally available all year round. Watermelon season is just getting started now as well.
A "maple" of 24 eggs (not free-range) costs 4500 pesos now. In CABA we used to buy chicken, pork, eggs and cheese at Distribuidora Ovo in Villa Urquiza,
If you have the time and mobility, outside of CABA you can buy produce at the side of the motorway (do the Argentinian thing of picknicking on the grass verge, watch the cars go by and enjoy your "chori" or your bondiola ) and look for the fruit sellers, e.g. Ruta 9 towards BA before Lion Place, Ruta 4 "La Curva", Ruta 8 km 70 " Frutas y verduras el peaje", earlier this year they were giving away tomatoes for making sauce, or the watermelon sellers at the intersection with Ruta 6. Maybe not worth making a specific journey for those, but if you're out this way seeing the sights, take advantage.
