s/o: how much do you pay for...
a dozen eggs?
4L milk?
a loaf of bread?
a brick of cheese (roughly 1000 grams)
a pound of bananas, a pound of apples, or any other produce you can remember?
I spend (south central BC):
$4.45 for a dozen eggs
$4.95 per 4L jug of milk
$1.75 per loaf of bread
$9.99 for a brick of cheese
right now bananas are $0.45/pound, but they're usually closer to $0.70. Apples are about $1.25/pound. That's all I can remember off the top of my head, I'll have to dig out a receipt for other produce prices. I shop at Superstore. Safeway and SaveOn are both more.
I'm having a tough time keeping my grocery bill low and based on the post below others are too, so I just wanted to compare to see how some people spend $400 or less per month, when we just can't. I tried to pick basic things that most people would buy.
Re: s/o: how much do you pay for...

We shop at No Frills which is part of Loblaws/Superstore/Zehrs franchise.
a dozen eggs? $4.59 (free range organic)
4L milk? A bag of milk I *think* is $4.19
a loaf of bread? $2.50
a brick of cheese (roughly 1000 grams) I only buy it when it is on sale - sale price is usually 5.99 or 6.99
a pound of bananas 0.89/lb (organic), a pound of apples 1.25/lb (organic), green peppers 1.49-1.99/lb, avocado $5/3 (organic), potatoes ($2/10 lbs - when on sale), broccoli 0.99 - 1.49 each, lettuce 0.79-1.29 each, carrots 2.99/bag (organic), celery 0.99-1.99 each (I refuse to pay 4.99 for organic celery), cantaloupe 1.99-2.99 each, blueberries 3/$5 - 2.99/pint
Eggs- around 3.09
Milk- 3.99
Bread- 1.75- 2.50
Cheese- I usually buy the Kraft Shredded Cheese when it's on sale which is about 340 grams and 5.65 on sale usually. I think the cheese is roughly 9,.99 too

I'm in Edmonton and I pay this:
a dozen eggs? $3.29
4L milk? $ 4.19 for 4L
a loaf of bread? $3.59
a brick of cheese (roughly 1000 grams) $8.99
a pound of bananas, a pound of apples, or any other produce you can remember? $0.59/lb - $0.99/lb
I am pretty much the same as this since I am right out of Edmonton. My eggs are $4.50 though as I buy free range organic. My bread used to cost me $5 for two loaves for whole grain at Costco but I just started making my own bread two months ago.
a dozen eggs? $2.17 (large eggs, cheapest brand)
4L milk? $3.99-$4.19
a loaf of bread? $2.50
a brick of cheese. I only buy on sale if 5.99 or less, which happens frequently (1 week every month or so)
bananas are usually 0.69/lb but sometimes as low as 0.49/lb recently. Apples are usually 0.99-1.29/lb
I shop at the cheapest of cheap stores in Toronto - No Frills, Food Basics and Wal-mart.
