who's been to the grocery this week? report please

Published Apr. 22, 2008

What are the prices of milk, eggs, bacon, flour, bread, rice, corn, potatos/potatoes? and chicken, fish, pork and beef  this week?

 

(why don't one of you start recording the non-sale prices? ...just keep the wednesday fliers/flyers.)

 

With all the news being on the food supply, what are we seeing this week.

 

The gas at Wal-Mart was $3.29 yesterday, with the 3 cent discount from using their gift/credit card. It was $3.37 at Sheetz.

 

The price of gas, the conversion of crops to bio-fuel, the competition from China, India, well, all of Asia are all part of any increase, but what is the increase, and where/when will it top out?

Harris Teeter has started having some buy one get 2 free items every week. Whatever it is, that's what we're eating. This week there's bologna, mac-n-cheese, and ice cream. Hmmm...no wonder our country is obese. But cucumbers are 2/$1, so at least we can have some kind of vegetable.

I bought two loaves of bread last night, came to $7.00 and change.

Gosh, gas is $3.43 at our Wal-Mart (Person County), and that is the cheapest in town! I have seen $3.53 at one station.

$3.29 for gas - how about $4.19 for diesel. $150.00 will buy about 36 gallons. Food is just off the map - but of course everything is..... Now that everyone thinks we are in a 'grain' deficiency because of these ridiculous alternative fuels the rice folks are saying they are having a shortage....... crazy.

Lowes - tonight -

5# Red Band flour - 2.75 / 5# = .55/lb

Crisco veg oil - 10cent/oz

Sugar - 50cents/lb

spaghetti - 8 cents/oz

corn on cob - 69 cents/each

Premium saltine box - 2.29

gallon Milk - marked down, sell by 4/23 99cents

bag of potatoes - I forget - $3.99/lb?

Rice - I forget

small can of tuna - ?

Mac & cheese box 69cents

Block Coby/jack cheese $4/lb

Cucumber 89cents@

various big apples - 1.25@

red seedless grapes - 3.49/lb

name Cereals

The frozen stuff was high as always... Ritz 3.49

went to the food store.... bought stuff like by one chicken breast and get 1 free...beer has even gone up...put $50.00 in gas in my 98 intrepid, spent $220.00 at food store, 109.00 at pet smart...and 64.00 at feed store...seriously thinking of gettin a second job, but whos gonna take care of my dad who lives with me... well just need to vent, i will get through this just reaaly makes me sick how we all are getting screwed...

uggg, I ran in Food Lion a couple hours ago to get some milk and a couple other items. The milk was $5.49.

Milk I paid 3.50 last week. eggs 2.24 a dozen, bread around 2.50 sometimes I can find a sale at 1.89. Produce - it seems to be all over the place from week to week. Been buying more and more chicken lately. I like chicken except for the fact that no matter what you do to it, it still tastes like chicken.

I heard the rice supply was dwindling from India. They can't even supply their own people with it. Last week, I priced a huge (didn't check the amount) bag of rice & I mean huge for $9.47. Dried beans are still cheap - I doubt that will change for now, but if you like rice, now is the time to buy it. It's not something I LOVE but who knows what happens next month? Very scary, actually. Vegetables (not hugely popular ones) like bok choy, kale, swiss chard, etc. are like $1.99/lb. I mean, that's crazy! Frozen vegetables have even gotten a lot more expensive. Squash, cucumbers, celery, broccoli, they've all gotten outrageous. A head of cauliflower last week @ Food Lion was $2.49!

Have any one of you heard your grandparent's or parents talk about hover day's. iT WAS CALLED DEPRESSION IN THOSE DAYS AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HEADED FORE NOW.
