Groceries

As I sit eating my (very late) breakfast I start thinking about grocery shopping. Because I went on Thursday...made another quick trip on Friday...and now I have to go AGAIN. I have never shopped for so many groceries before!! You can only buy as much as you can carry home, so there's no big 2 week shopping sprees.
So, in consideration of grocery shopping, here's some interesting price comparisons...

***Lettuce...more expensive here almost double the price.
***Milk...cheaper here (there's actually farmers bitching about the low prices of milk)
***Bread...more expensive here. The store nearest me sells them as half loaves, at approx $1.50 each.
***Hamburger...way more expensive here! More than double the price. But...
***Pork...cheaper. A lot cheaper. However...
***Roasted chickens...way more expensive. Again, almost double.
***Eggs...$6 a dozen. No lie. Again only sold as a half dozen.
***Real butter...cheaper. And delicious!
***Coke...more expensive. And you have to pay deposits on the bottles.
***Bottled water...more expensive. Again with deposits on the bottles.
***Beer...dirt cheap! $1 for a 40! We can see what they like to drink here lol!
***Chips...more expensive, but only slightly.
***Pasta...the same
***Mexican food makings...holy jesus, like triple the price, at least! The price of taco shells, even just tortillas, is nuts.
***Cheddar cheese...pshaw! If you can find it, it's hella expensive. They have, almost exclusively, white cheeses here, which can be pretty cheap though

That's all I can think of for now. Needless to say, even eating cheap, I'm spending at least $60 a week to eat. That's a lot for one person.
