It's more than just cheap groceries & the poor & elderly are still taken care of well. And we still have checks & balances for employees/employers without the extra cost. <br /><br />But I am sure I biased since I've always been a southern girl.

Here in East Tennessee I think our groceries are pretty reasonable, but not the cheapest. Right now, I'm still getting everything with Walmart Delivery, so no sales. This is the chicken breast that I buy ($3.13/lb) Perdue Fresh Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Value Pack (2.5-3.8 lbs.). They do have their own brand that is cheaper, but I just looked and it is out of stock, so the price isn't showing. Maybe it was a good deal this week and that's why they are out. I usually buy 1 banana with my order and they are running $.20 each or $.51 lb. I always buy the 93%/7% ground beef and the cheapest is $4.05 lb. You can get the 73%/27% regular ground beef for as low as $2.55 lb. This reminds me, I need to put in an order for tomorrow, so I guess I will do that now, while I'm thinking about it.

I'm speculating here but from the little I know about Michigan these are some reasons prices could be higher.....if the grocery stores (or anything to do with manufacturing, delivery, ect) are Union, more government programs in the state mean higher taxes on groceries, a higher standard of living....just a few thoughts off the top of my head. <br /><br /><br />Right now, regular price at my local Walmart...<br />bananas are .16 a pound<br />frozen boneless skinless chicken breast $1.97 a pound but it's pretty easy to find it around a $1 on sale or at Aldi...I live in Tyson country so chicken houses are everywhere & poultry is cheap. <br />milk is $2.78 a gallon<br />eggs are .87 for large, .97 for extra large <br />ground chuck...what I usually buy is $2.89 a pound for a 5 pound pack. <br />a 10 pd bag of chicken leg quarters is .59 a pound...normal price.<br /><br />These are basic prices, not organic.I live in nw Arkansas & food is very cheap here thankfully.<br /> Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-51808958889135586192021-02-23T16:02:57.185-05:002021-02-23T16:02:57.185-05:00The choices here sometimes can be limited.

Eggs were on a weekly deal for .89 for 18, and 2% milk was $2.89/gallon. I haven't been able to buy canned cat food for a couple of weeks now though, not sure if there is a shortage or if the ice storm has delayed deliveries.

It's hard to compare prices that way. I hope you get some better deals soon.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.com
