I think the prices of different items were changed in the patch.
I could swear that stimpacks were only 35 caps before the patch but now they are 111 caps each.'
Maybe they've lowered the prices of some food items to balance it out.
EDIT: According to the fallout wiki the price is reduced to 3 caps after completing the legend of the star quest. But not sure why it would effect new games though. Maybe it is the patch or maybe new games remember you completed the quest previously. It could also be a reward for having the achievement unlocked.
I've never completed that quest though so i'll have to check the price in my game.
