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?

I know zilch about economics, but in my opinion, it "ain't" gonna top out, anytime soon! LOL! I have to have gas, so I pay whatever I must. Same for food. Nothing I can do, but roll with the punches.

My kangharoo bag and I did fairly well hitting the deals today. You can see things like bread milk cheese and etc go up every week though and sometimes I can see an increase within the week.

I just now got back from the grocery story. 65 cents a pound for bananas!

I heard on the radio this morning that there going to start limiting the amount of rice, flower, and cooking oil you get. So everyone stock up before you cant get any. I wounder how this is going to affect the resturants?

Stopped to buy milk the other night - over $5.00 for a gallon. That's krazy!

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.

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!

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.

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

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...
