I don't know, those prices seem mightly high for vegetables. Right now in midstate PA, cabbage is 50 cents or under a pound and depending on the potatoes, (ie russets, red, etc.) you can get a 5 pound bag for 2.50. Head lettuce is 99 cents apiece this week. And onions are less than what she quotes. Outside of CA most people could probably make the dish for around $3, even with the olive oil and butter.
