I would never pay more than $$$ for....

well organized list:
for apples, in the Fall, can get the for a really great price
same with tomatoes and zucchini, when it's harvest time

Yep! I'm trying to keep it current to the season I'm in, though. Which reminds me, I've forgotten to add corn cobs. lol

I would never pay more than 1.99 per lb of grapes, more than .57 cents a pound for bananas, $2 for a box of cereal, $1 for shower gel.....

This is very interesting. You also have to consider where you live. In MB prices are much higher than ON for example.

Yes, I agree that many places are different in regard to their prices. I am currently in Shippagan, NB and a 1-lb clamshell of strawberries is $4.99, a pineapple $5.29, for example. Needless to say I will be waiting to go back to Ontario to purchase them for $2 or less....

$0 - manual toothbrush, sandwich bags, garbage bags, magazines

$0.50 - soap, deo, air fresheners/smellies

$1-1.50 - haircare, body wash, body lotions, razors, cleaning trigger sprays, condiments (mustard, ketchup, other sauces, etc.)

$2- 2.50 - eggs, laundry detergent, fabric softener, box of cereal, jam

$3.00-4.00 - milk, coffee

maybe frozen strawberries are cheaper
maybe canned pineapple is cheaper

For dishwasher detergent, Finish offers MIRs so often not sure why anyone would be paying for them

Because eventually you run out of the ones you got for free.

Prices vary so much across country though - I was on a 2 week vacation in beautiful Nova Scotia and I would say produce is twice as much or more as in Ontario and most groceries are more expensive. I had a little house right on the ocean and did my own grocery shopping and cooking, and could not believe the prices over there in grocery stores. So I don't think we can do one thread for everyone.

Tis ok, I am only here for 6 weeks anyway. And I tried no-name frozen veg in a stir fry, this being after a full year of buying fresh all the time. Needless to say I was not impressed, but can deal for the 6 weeks lol
