How much milk do we really need to drink? Quoting: INK3 interesting. The last time I priced powdered milk in WM, it was about the same price as fresh milk. Maybe there is a shortage of cows in Aus and Eur, but I'm paying about $4 /gal whole milk. Arkansas. |

Horizon 2% milk - 6.69 2 strip steaks - 15.97 6 pack Paulaner Beer - 9.39 Chicken legs - 5.90 ONE bell pepper - 1.56 Dozen Brown Eggs - 2.49 Heinz Ketchup - 2.95 Coffee Creamer - 2.99 Hamburger - 10.63 And the list goes on and on to total 202.88 But don't worry, I saved 12.03 by using my Kroger card..LOL I'm part of the dying breed that actually cooks meals and we don't out to eat very often. That's the price I pay for being one heck of a good cook. My family like my food better than what they serve in most restaurants. Since I spend a lot of time and money in grocery stores, I would say on average groceries have gone up about 35% in the past year. It always amuses me to see people in the store who have decided to try and save money by cooking at home. They gasp at the prices of meat, coffee and milk. Actually, if you stay out of the frozen food isle and the prepared meals, you can still feed a family way cheaper by cooking than eating at fast food places or doing take out. I guess the high schools need to bring back home economics class so people can learn how to cook and sew. In this new world of unemployment and inflation those appear to be very valuable skills. Note that I am not shopping for a family. Just for 2, at the same time, SouthLake is not too far from me and honestly a lot of the stuff you're buying is not average prices. It seems more to me that you like to shop the more expensive brands of product. Milk - 6.69? ... wow, this is by choice (I know there are cheaper products around). As for the rest of your products maybe you want to shop around/cut coupons, or overall just spend smartly. |

Part of this is because she is shopping at the Southlake Kroger (and not, for instance at the Kroger over on North Beach). The other reason her tab is so high is because Horizon milk is 'Organic' (or the other things are presumably all natural or cage-free eggs, etc)... But even then, a gallon of milk at this Kroger is $2.79... whereas I just bought a gallon of hormone-free milk from ALDI for $2.49 a gallon. She could shop cheaper, but I assume that she's trading price for 'quality'. |

sTTsTTT User ID: 4852102 United States 11/29/2012 10:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thinking about this, we buy a lot of "My Essentials" brand products. Staples for the larder like tomato paste/sauce/chopt, tinned fruits in juice, potted meats (tuna, salmon, etc.), dried beans, rice, and dehydrated potatoes. I've watched the prices on these basic foodstuffs go from $.49-each to $1.00/10-for$10 over the past 12-months. I try to catch the sales for $.69-.89 each now. Lamb prices (in NoVA) tend to stay around $6.00/#. That happens to be my preference for meat... Ground chuck varies between $2.29-3.19/#. Chicken is actually less expensive to buy "deli rotisserie" whole bird for $6.99 than "previously frozen" raw in the meat department most of the time. Fresh produce is a huge variable. I can well believe $1.50-plus for one Bell pepper. Prices here range between $3.49-3.99/#. We jokingly ask if they're gold-plaited. Skim milk, 1%, 2%, whole are pennies different in price-per-gallon here. A box of 8-quarts powdered milk (defatted) is the same price as 2% milk. Tinned milk is roughly $1.00/tin unless on sale during Holidays. It's been several years since I've bought sandwich bread/rolls. Even for "My Essentials" 16-oz plain, sliced, white bread it was $1.19/loaf on sale today. Hamburger & hot dog buns were special price of $.89-each. It all looked as it was on the losing end of a prize fight. It's interesting hearing what people pay in different areas & countries. Apocalypse: All shall be revealed.

I grew a lot of veg that I put up and that helps as well. Food prices are just alarming - I don't drink milk, eat breads, and I coupon shop and buy in bulk, but there's still a noticeable increase in price even if you shop around. I do have a vice and that's iced tea, but it's pretty much pennies a glass if you make your own. At least I've lost weight! |
