prices seem to be better than usual on butter & eggs -- even for a holiday time period -- i didn't check for sugar & flour but if you can stock up -- now's the time -- i got land o'lakes for three bucks a pop -- mighta had a better price at sam's club but good enough for my purposes -- eggs are at a great low price -- 'course doesn't have the shelf life of butter but -- strike while the iron's hot -- maybe not the best metaphor for butter & egg but anyway --

happy easter, happy spring, happy happy

Around here...butter seems to be stuck in a price rut...at most places name brands are $5-6 a pound and store brands anywhere from $3-5.  Eggs are cheap...18 usually sell for less than $2 and milk can be had for $2.50-3 a gallon...but butter prices have remained elevated for over a year now!

Butter in the UK has really gone up since before Christmas.  It was less than £1, then went to £1.09 and last time I was in Tesco I noticed their own brand is now £1.18.  Silly prices.

Lol I was excited! Butter is always on sale here, it's weird. They also had their 4lb bags of powdered sugar on sale 2 for $5 and they are $4.69 not on sale. It was a good day.

I've noticed before that lots of grocery stores put eggs on sale before Easter.  Which makes sense.
