canned carrots? why? aren't carrots like 10-20 cents a piece, the can it self costs more

Biggest bag of carrots for like 5 bucks. Baby carrots have increased in price a lot though. They're like twice as expensive as they used to be.

Bag? I think that's where you went wrong. You gotta buy them by the kilo, not prepackaged.

In American stores the big bulk carrots come in a huge bag and those are the cheapest.

In the US, depending on the store carrots might be sold in bunches placed into loose unsealed plastic bags (and priced by weight) I can't find any photos of this practice in a quick search, but I suspect its more for branding reasons than anything
