Yikes! and I thought food was expensive here. The green peppers and chicken breasts are about a third of that here. Your prices for eggs are only a little more.big brown horse

Sugar was $4.99 for a small 5lb bag!!!
I havn't had to buy eggs in a while, thankfully! However I remember buying some in December for about $3.50 per dozen (organic "cage-free"*).
*Yes I know that is not good enough, sadly that is all I could find around here at the time.

I've been trying to buy flour and sugar in the larger bags cause it's much cheaper and we do use alot. I found the flour for sale $9.99 for 25lbs (okay so it was the bleached white bad stuff, but we gotta eat) and I think I got the 25lbs of sugar for about $15.
I don't buy organic food because I not only cannot afford it, but I am not concerned about eating organic foods. I guess that makes me odd woman out, doesn't it? I just feel it's an unnecessary luxury that I can't afford.
I paid $2.29 for an 18 pack of eggs, and I buy staples such as flour, sugar, etc., in the bulk section at WinCo for generally 40 to 50 cents a pound. I bought 25 pounds of sugar after Christmas for $9.

No you're not "odd woman out", you're not alone. I buy the best I can afford which usually means the regular stuff. Like I said, we gotta eat and have money left for other things too.

Ldy,
I have even bought those big backs of white eggs before...lots of times. You gotta do what you gotta do.

I don't buy the organic stuff either... until our chickens are laying eggs, we buy regular white eggs that probably came from a factory farm, but it's what we can afford... same with meat and veggies.Ldychef2k said:
I do buy beef from a local farmer, but that's cause he charges less than the grocery store and I can meet my cow
I buy ALOT of things in the bulk store... honey, flour, sugar, spices, rice, etc... anything that's cheaper.
