Food prices fluctuate greatly by season and region. This is especially true in farmland and villages. Whatever is "in season" in that particular region is what will be available. Food will be plentiful and cheap just after harvest in autumn. Likewise, come spring, food supplies will be dwindling and prices will be higher. Some local fruit may not be available at all during certain seasons - this varies by fruit - but most fruits can be made into preserves and jams which keep all year long. Additionally, items that are not local and had to be imported will be much more expensive.
Meat from local animals and wild game will generally be available throughout the year and won't vary in price.
The tables below gives a number of examples and includes the "average" price found in a large town.
The prices for beverages are for a single serving. For a full bottle, multiple by 4.
