Prices have gone up even there. Last year I got rolled oats for $.38/lb. Two weeks ago we went for the annual fall stock-up and it was up to $.50/lb. an increase but still a better deal than you can get at the grocery store.<BR/>At least I've recently cleaned out my freezer to make room for more! ; ) JJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634359139079818019.post-79039130937947547862008-10-08T10:26:00.000-04:002008-10-08T10:26:00.000-04:00We shop at a bulk place and they wikll make up siz...We shop at a bulk place and they wikll make up sizes besides what's on the shelf also...we get bigger bags than what they usually have out. Just ask and they may do it if you care. Watch though...ours re-bags domino's sugar (and says it is domino's) in plastic bags for higher $$ than you would get at the regular grocery store. Still, I like bulk for lots of things!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634359139079818019.post-87927279480542133102008-10-08T10:02:00.000-04:002008-10-08T10:02:00.000-04:00I know what you mean kris.

I tend to think we would be better off than most if things turn really sour, but without being stocked up on the basics....it would be very difficult.

I can not believe that you got trail mix for that cheap-that would not be good for our house.
