I was at walmart yesterday and the prices have increased to 1.18 for cake mixes. I judst got back from my local store because I needed 2 more mixes and they are up to 2.19 there. How is it everywhere else in the US

Here in Miami, FL it went from $.88 cents to $.98...that was just a few weeks ago, I haven't checked lately. But at Target their $.97 but they don't have much of a variety.

I just picked some up the other day for $1 each (BC) but there are definitely some others that are higher.

I just went to the store today and I noticed that they went up from $1.25 to $1.35 which isn't that big of a difference, but I was at another store yesterday and they had gone up to $1.99 a box. Ugh!

BC went from $0.93 to $0.98 a couple of months ago. DH was $0.88 and went to $0.95 or $0.96 (I dont' buy DH much). These are the walmart prices.

The bad news for me......! I use the Great Value brand (walmart brand) choc cake mix to make my chocolate cookie base. It's no longer carried!! I went in to order by usual 8 cases and they guy told me they won't be carrying it anymore! I about cried!! He said, "When i saw it on the list, I knew you'd be real upset about it!" The name brand choc cake mixes just don't work the same! So here I go to the drawing board to try to find something that will work for me. That cake mix made my choc cookies my most profitable, too!

indydebi: I don't know if you have an Aldi's in your area, but they have inexpensive cake mixes.

I don't use them for cakes, but cake mixes do make pretty neat chocolate cookies!

I buy mine at Publix when they are buy one get one free,they equal to about 68 cents a piece.So I stock up.Its about evry month give or take.But yes Walmart has raised there prices,even powdered sugar raised about 6 cents last month.

Our WalMart carries the DH brand for about $1.08 a box. I dont by much else, so I dont know if those have gone up or not. I DO KNOW that our WalMart used to carry a cherry baking chip that was yummy, but all of a sudden they dont stock them anylonger. Some stupid excuse of "its a holiday item" I dont think of cherry really as Holiday, but oh well. I found them online, so I'll just order that way.

Where I live I buy mine at Wal-mart ( I use Pillsbury ) and it is $.88 a box there.

AHHHH... I DOO hate it. I live on the Coast of Oregon. You know, rain 9 months of the year, wind the other 3...

Think we can find a rain suit for kids out here, for the fall/winter season??? HECK NO! Know when you find them? July. Stupid...

Ok, sorry about the OT vent...lol. Back tou your regularly scheduled programming...

The Wal-Mart prices here are the same as IndyDebi.

But I went to a market near me last week, to pick up a few things they had on sale. I took a stroll through the baking aisle to check the price.

$2.19 for a box of BC, and $2.09 for DH. They didn't even have Pillsbury on the shelf.

My family loves the cake mix cookies now, so I'll have to check out Aldi brand. Thanks for the tip.

I could use a fix- anyone willing to share their chocolate cookie from a cake mix recipe????

here in jersey the acme sells the mixes for 2.20 (I almost had a heart attack). Shoprite is about the same. I do what most here do- buy at Walmart or buy them at Acme when they are 10 for $10- although that hasn't happened in a while.

There's a couple of them in here.

The last time I checked, BC was 88 cents and DH was 94 cents at Wal_mart.

Academy and every other outdoor store carries coolers year-round.

At my Wal-Mart, coolers are also carried year-round. Maybe because in Texas, we are pretty much in summertime 350 days a year. We get about 2 weeks of winter. LOL

Our Walmart has mixes for $1.08. I just about croaked when I had to run to Safeway and buy an emergency replacement mix and the same exact mix was $2.29 !!!!

The last time I looked at Walmart (40 miles away) cake mixes were a little under $1. Our local grocery stores all charge between $1.85-2.30 for a box of cake mix.

I had the worst time with jackets this spring. I live on the northern edge of North Dakota, you NEED a good jacket in the spring. Windbreakers just don't do the job and raincoats aren't what you could call warm either. My 5 year old had a huge growth spurt, about 2 inches just in one month, over the winter so the jacket he had from fall didn't fit. I couldn't find one ANYWHERE, my MIL was looking for me too.

I just got home from Meijer, where I usually buy my mixes, and DH and BC were $1.59. Pillsbury was $1.35. Store brand - and this is what kills me - was $1.19.

Up until about 2 months ago, DH and BC were always $.99, and yellow store brand mixes were always $.79.

In the grand scheme of things that's not huge, but when you factor in that shortening has gone up by $1.00, and powdered sugar has gone up by $.70 - it really starts adding up.

ty parable!
