A topic from Food & Drink: Miscellaneous

fatherjohnWed 12/12/07 03:24		I was just wondering what folks are paying for groceries outside the States. We had a huge (for us) price increase in the past several weeks. How do your prices compare? Here are some current prices we are paying (I have translated them into sterling to make this easier) Milk 1.89 litres £1.50 eggs one doz. £2.18 bread £2.25 rib steak (thin cut) £4 per lb jar of pasta sauce £1.25 We have been overly spoiled here for years in our prices and when the raise dramatically it is quite a shock.
wemblystiggs2002Wed 12/12/07 04:35		Milk 1.13 litre 76p eggs 1 doz 2.78 (large free range) Bread Sliced Loaf 59p Ribeye Steak 4.89 per lb dolmio pasta sauce 1.92 for the loaf you didnt say sliced batch cob or whatever so picked own brand thick sliced so in some things you are cheaper, some more expensive... Prices were taken fom tesco.com
fatherjohnWed 12/12/07 05:15		Pretty close..on our eggs, it is for regular not free range...that costs about the same as yours. The bread price is for pre-sliced whole wheat bread. Was the steak price there for a regular cut or those awful thin things that look as though they were cut with a safety razor? A T-bone steak here (depending on the shop) can run anywhere from 6.50 to 8.50 an lb. salmon filets are 6 to 9 per lb
wemblystiggs2002Wed 12/12/07 05:30		the ribeye was probably a similar product, the eggs would have probably been a little cheaper. this is the problem you get when the cost of food is artificially kept low, one day the producers and farmers will want a fare price! I remember talking to an american friend a couple of years back who was visiting, he could not believe the cost of food compared to how cheap it was in the US so, how much would you have paid for those items before all these hugh price incraments?
fatherjohnWed 12/12/07 07:45		Before the increments we would have paid milk (1.89 litres) £1 sliced whole wheat bread 1.50/ 1.75 eggs 1.60 steak 1.70 Fruit and vege have gone way up as well...which is surprising here in California since we grow more fruit and vege than any other state in the country! Unfortunately the farmers are not getting a single p of these price increments..the grocery store is getting it all...and the oil companies. Petrol here has gone from 1.20 a gallon to 1.75 in the past few months..when I first started driving I paid 22p a gallon!! Of course our government (both parties) think it perfectly fine that the big oil companies made billions in profit last year..mostly on the backs of the working poor...our government is awful. They refuse to help the working poor at all.
