I noticed in Puerto Rican supermarkets bananas wer $0.79/lb which is 10-20 cents more expensive than they are stateside even though they produce bananas in Puerto Rico.
I've lived in Puerto Rico for over 20 years and the highest supermarket price I ever saw was $0.39 lb, but plantains are more expensive.
