Vegetable prices shot up last month after cold weather in the southern U.S. and Mexico destroyed much of the winter vegetable supply, according to the Commerce Department. Tomatoes and lettuce have been the most affected, plus some fruits. The winter crops were affected by the freeze, but now grocers say as crops planted after that start to reach stores, prices should come down. Iowa-based Hyvee is already seeing cheaper prices.
