How do those prices compare to what they were before? Food prices vary quite a bit by region so it's hard to reference.Tonight at a local grocery store:
Dozen eggs were $1.29.
Rice pilaf was $1.19 a box.
A corned beef brisket was $13.00.
Bag of carrots was $1.
Head of cabbage was $1.
Shaws seems to be going more toward buy 2 get 2 free. Still half price, but you need to buy a lot more. Per unit price quite a bit higher than last year.Here and there in some super markets... Buy get 1 free.
I haven't shopped there in years. They may have changed but you used to have to belong to their "Rewards" program to get the best prices. Funny thing though, I could go down the road to Hannaford and get the same prices without a gimmick.Shaws seems to be going more toward buy 2 get 2 free.

The news this morning was that Brent crude had dropped 24%. Don't hold your breath waiting for oil companies to lower their price as fast as they raised it.Our gas was $4.30 on Friday, not it is $4.19 this morning. Still nothing to write home about, but it is a little cheaper, but a long ways to go before it is priced where I think it should be.
