For a time a friend of mine lived in a very bad area in Philadelphia, a bit off Diamond street. The local corner stores had, at best, potatos, and the semi-local supermarkets scaled pricewise to the college student population nearby. You could probably go out of your way and find some affordably priced, but what is convenient and available pales in comparison to the amount of really questionable foods like chips. (bag of chips is probably 49c, 99c for a big one, by the way. So you could get a bunch of chips for the price of those carrots, similarly, you could get something like 2-3 burgers instead. The prices are not such that the carrots seem appealing)
