Fresh in-season produce direct from a high-quality local farm can definitely be rare and luxurious even if it's sold in a supermarket for $5. This is especially true of things that are only in season for a few weeks and are from a farm small enough to only sell to supermarkets within a few miles.

These things may seem commonplace locally, but to people on the other side of the country these "cheap" things can be a rare luxury.
