I am entering my recipes into CakeBoss ( 
) and I am trying to come up with the cost for my individual ingredients.
So. I need help.
How do I figure out how much 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour costs?
Rachel
So I go to the store that I shop at and see what I would pay to buy 1 lb of flour (divide price by 5 since it comes in 5 lbs, etc) and than just divide that price by the decimal version of a cake?
If anyone understands that I'll be amazed. 
Rachel
Yes, go to the store (or check your last receipt), find the price for 5#'s, divide by 5 ...this gives you the price per pound.....Now MULTIPLY that price by the 0.71 and that gives you the price for that amount....
example: I buy 10#'s at $3.99 = 0.39 / pound
0.39 x 0.71 = 0.28 / 2 1/2 cups 
And yes, your request was very easy to understand.....since I teach ESL students, almost everyone makes perfect sense in comparison!! Especially if you read their writing 
For nay other items, here's a website that converts a number of items. You have to scroll down a ways .... It's under "cook book weights and measures".....
