I'm starting to prep some larger quantity food stuffs. In the interest of my checking account, I've started shopping for the best prices. I've thought about joining Sam's or Costco but I'm not convinced that combined with the yearly membership I'd come out ahead on the relatively small quantities I'll be purchasing.
I'd like to start a thread tracking local as well as internet "bulk" food prices, sort of like the ammo thread. The internet foods would have to include shipping as well.
1/12/2010 at the Wal-Mart on 96th St I found the following prices:
Quaker Instant Grits 5 lbs $2.58 $.03 per oz
Great Value Pancake Mix 32 oz $1.57 $.05 per oz
Great Value Quick Oats 42 oz $2.68 $.06 per oz
Great Value Sugar 25 lbs $11.68 $.03 per oz
Great Value Dry Milk 64 oz $16.42 $.25 per oz
Bisquick 96 oz $5.98 $.06 per oz
Great Value LG Rice 20 lbs $11.48 $.04 per oz
(None of these include tax and the per oz price is rounded up to the nearest cent.)
Hopefully you guys can help me out with this and we can all benefit from the information.
Thanks
