Price Book

Pantry

• Sugar; .40/lb
• Flour; 1/5lb
• Peanut Butter; .99/18oz

• Dried beans; $1/lb

• Spaghetti Sauce; this one is tough to pin down since there are so many brands/sizes, usually I won't pay more than $1/jar, and we usually use Classico brand. I prefer commerical sauce to homemade due to price, taste, and convenience. If you grow tomatoes, you may be able to make it cheaper than me.

• Frozen veg (basic like corn, peas, mixed veg); .99/lb
