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.hwillm1977 said:Factory farm white: 2.86/dozen
Factory farm brown: 3.15/dozen
Omega 3 brown eggs: 4.25/dozen (still factory farmed)
Free Range organic at a health store: $6.49/dozen
A couple other things I find expensive, but eat so I still buy them...
Green Peppers: $4.99/pound
Chicken Breasts: $11.29/pound (a package of 6 chicken breasts is usually around $30-35)
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 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.
