The cost of bread....just regular white bread $2.49 Drives me insane.

We've been eating out of our garden, other peoples gardens and the freezer because there was a lot in there. I guess paper products are my biggest issue. I'm picky about what I use-gotta have the toilet paper, tissues, paper towels I like and only the stuff I hate goes on sale. I'm buying more and more in bulk or breaking down large packages of things and dating/freezing things.
Milk IS expensive but we don't use nearly as much and I buy the organic/non-GMO stuff from Whole Foods anyway so it's always been high. I was looking at the cost of meat the other day-wow! I know that when we finish what we've got, I'll be looking for recipes on cheaper cuts. Thinking about splitting another cow but it's so hard to use it all -even a fourth because we don't eat red meat often. I always thaw a bunch and have a party.

That's CHEAP!! $2.50/gal is a good deal here in NE Ohio.

Graham crackers $4.29 for a little box with only 2 packs of crackers in them. I refuse to buy them.

Do you use a lot of bread? We don't use much anymore. We've pretty much cut it out of our diets. Once in a while, I make a couple of loaves on Sunday as a treat. We still have our breadmaker and I put together some herbed breads.

I paid $4.09 for a gallon of milk today.

It's $1.49 for a full gallon at Aldi in Lexington, KY near Fayette Mall.
I inquired and the clerk stated it is a 2 week promo and started on the 1st.

About the only price increase I have seen that is noticeable has been pasta.

Do you have a bread outlet anywhere near you? Bread is VERY cheap at our outlet, like $0.49 for a loaf of 100% whole wheat.

I went to the grocery store yesterday and paid $3.50 for 1% milk What a rip...literally 2 weeks ago, I was paying $2.75 for the longest time.

Also, chips have gone up. I sometimes buy Doritos (for DH) at around $2.50-$2.75, but yesterday it was up around $3.50! Are you kidding me?! I can buy the Baked Doritos at that price and save some calories as well!

Milk here in New Jersey is $4.29 for a gallon of store brand (ShopRite). I can't believe how inexpensive milk is in other places. What I hate is how much cereal has gone up. We go through tons of it! And the boxes keep getting smaller and smaller, but the price still goes up!

Bacon! I don't make it often, but sometimes for dinner as a treat. Went to buy some the other day and it was over $7!! Just for regular Oscar Mayer bacon! I was sure the last time I bought it I paid $4 something!

Coffee - the large red container of Folgers used to be $6 now it is closer to $10. Milk here is anywhere from $3.50 to $4.

 

[delmar411]

bananas, it's over .50/lb now, pretty much always. And when it does go on sale it's not like you can stock up, you just have to enjoy cheap bananas that week.

But I haven't noticed too many price increases that effect us. I just bought 2 gallons of milk at Kroger for $1.50 each gallon. I've been trying to avoid the middle aisles and just shop the perimeter of the store.

just what I was going to post abut the Folgers, ans that is for the 240 cup not the 270....and ground beef..I used to be able to get 80-85% for $1.99 lb., now $2.69 is a sale. Same for tilapia, the norm was $2.50 a pound, now $2.99 is a sale.

HOLY CRAP! the milk at MY aldi is $3.49 a gallon! i WISH i could get it for $1.49! the cheapest they EVER sold it, back when they first opened a couple of years ago, was $1.99.

I have been cravin BBQ chips, and I went to Publix tonight. I was going to pick up a bag, even though they weren't a "need". They were BOGO, but $4.29/bag! Sure, it's still "only" $2.15/bag, but all I could see was that it was nearly $5 for a bag of chips.

I can't seem to find any good deals on meat anymore. The cost of bacon is unbelievable. Also, the grocery coupons aren't as good as they used to be.
