Iâll start off by giving you a simple answer and then elaborate on it: eating organic foods caused the food budget to go up, while eating vegan foods caused it to drop a bit. First, letâs back up and define what weâre talking about here, for those who might not be familiar.
Scottsdale (O'odham: Vaá¹£ai S-vaá¹£onÄ­; Yaqui: Eskatel) is a city in the eastern part of Maricopa County, Arizona, adjacent to the Greater Phoenix Area.
The Salt River Valley Region in which Scottsdale sits is known as the Valley of the Sun for good reason -- it is sunny more than 330 days a year. From May through September, temperatures routinely exceed 100 degrees F. and often climb over 110 degrees F. Short-lived, late-day thunderstorms, often accompanied by high winds, occur from July thru mid-September (the Monsoon season).
