In a recent post (read here), I explained how you need to start pricing the items you would be on a regular basis. I always say that a sale isn't always the best price. Cereal is always on sale, but that doesn't make it worth the price. So I've compiled a list of what I consider the maximum price I would pay for items.
GROCERY ITEMS
- Beef: Hamburger meat - $3 or less, other beef or steak $5 or less (I don’t buy a lot)
- Beverage: soda $1 – 2 ltr, case $5, fruit juice $2, coffee $6 (but that’s because I am brand specific) tea 24 count tea bags $1
- Breakfast: hot cereal $1, cold cereal $2, breakfast bars $2
- Butter 1 lb. $3
- Canned foods $1
- Chicken: Never pay more than $2 a pound. And often, you can find it under a $1.
- Dairy: Eggs $1, milk $2 (both can be purchased at Aldi at this price or less) cheese $3
- Deli: lunch meat $3, bacon $4, sausage $3, hot dogs $1
- Dry pasta $1
- Frozen dinners (single serve) $2 for larger size $1 for smaller size
- Frozen pizza $4
- Frozen veggies $1
- Jarred pasta sauce $1.50
- Produce: In general I prefer to stay under $1.50 per pound. By buying the fresh produce that is on sale, you can generally keep it under this price.
- Rice $1 per pound
- Seafood: Shrimp - $6 or less, Tilapia (frozen) $3 or less. I don’t buy a lot of other seafood products. But I've seen lobster tails for $6.
