Supermarkets here normally have an economy range. Cheap meat, "B class" vegetables etc. I generally don't buy them (I try to buy organic if possible) but I do buy economy carrots & apples for juicing. The Scandinavian supermarket chains like LIDL & ALDI have been increasing in popularity. Do you have them in the US? Stack 'em hich and sell 'em cheap type places. > Food is sky high, unless you buy crap. Some > rather common meats are over $15 a pound, some ordinary fruits are 30 > cents an ounce or more.

I still buy beer and milk in pints though :-) To be honest I don't really check the price of groceries that much. I look at the pack price and if it seems reasonable I buy it.
