This is the case in my comparison between Spain and the US. Spanish produce was definitely cheaper (in a larger city than I usually live in, to boot). There's also a slightly different setup though. Here in the US, sometimes a supermarket is the only place a person has in range (or tries to be). This means they carry EVERYTHING, and they want it to last on the shelf as long as possible. Meanwhile, I would go to a corner store for bread in Madrid, a block over to a produce store for fresh fruit and veg, and occasionally to the supermarket about 15 minutes walking to stock up on more pantry-stable goods and treats.
