The Food Budget price comparison results

Thanks so much friends, family and blog acquaintances! It's interesting to see the difference in prices in our grocery shopping. Colorado -- you definitely win for highest prices. Here are the results: 1 qt milk OH 1.79 TN 2.49 CO 1.49 NH 1.29 1# bananas OH .46 TN .49 CO .50 NH .49 1 soup OH 1.79 TN 1.39 CO 1.79 NH 1.49 1 dz eggs OH 1.89 TN 1.59 CO 2.04 NH 1.89 1# gr beef OH 2.29 TN 2.69 CO 2.99 NH 2.19 1# chick brsts OH 3.99 TN 3.99 CO 5.99 NH 2.59 1 can vegetable OH .69 TN 1.09 CO .89 NH .78 1 can tuna OH .79 TN .73 CO 1.79 NH 1.25 1 qt mayo OH 4.59 TN 3.15 CO 2.59 NH 3.59 1 bx cereal OH 2.49 TN 3.49 CO 3.35 NH 3.00 Alum foil OH 2.89 TN 3.29 CO 2.49 NH 3.49 When we moved down here (Ohio, from New Hampshire), I was stunned by how much higher meat prices were here (a hop skip and jump from the mid-west's "cattle country"!) than in New Hampshire. I see that hasn't changed. Considering how far they have to ship the meat, why is it less expensive in New Hampshire than in Colorado, where you can practically hear the cows moo'ing?!? That makes no sense to me. Colorado - wow, Lisa. I can see why your grocery bill is higher than mine! Everyone mentioned "store brand" prices, which were dramatically less than name brand. I believe all the prices above are name brand prices. It may not be accurate, but it is definitely interesting! Thanks everyone!
