We lived in a small town and if bread was .69 at Kroger, it would be $1.99 at our local store. Needless to say we developed a habit of buying our groceries whenever we went to "the city" for something. Same was true of going to Lowes vs our local Ace hardware. I'm sure milk must be $5 at that grocery store now. At the time I recall it was $2.49 (which was expensive in those days). Matt –

So we make sure that we pick up groceries when we are out so that we can pay about 30% less than if we buy them in town. Part of the reason for all this - besides the devaluation of the USD - is that the corn farmers can sell their crops for ethanol instead of cow feed, etc. Of course we make ethanol out of corn instead of sugar because of the import tariffs on sugar.
