I feel like there’s a few countries missing :)

Intersting to see how the prices relate just in the US though.

This is great I would love to be able to toggle a high contrast version for those with red/green color blindness.

Most vegetable/fruit prices seems cheaper on the west coast. I assume because most are produced and in California and don't have the added transportation costs?

There's also Aldi in Australia and China

Also I'm not quite sure about the grammar of "Aldi's"

I would assume so as well. Generally produce apear cheaper in West/South although organic avocados are bucking this trend
