In September of 2011, I posted a grocery price point list that I used to use to help me keep my grocery budget low. Knowing what rock bottom prices to expect helped me time my purchases to maximize my grocery dollars. When I found items for really low prices, I stocked up. But times have changed and so have prices. It’s high time I update my grocery price point list!

I’ve also changed the way I shop – I buy more organic options from different sources. It’s important to me to still keep my budget as low as possible, and this list will help me! So…

I’ve left a few blanks for things I buy but don’t know the price. I will fill in the prices soon and then keep this list handy on my phone so I can refer to it when shopping!

I’m going to keep adding to this list as I find more prices and think of things I forgot. I’m sure we buy more than this! Do you have any staples that I didn’t include? Please let me know how my prices compare to what you pay!
