I usually buy frozen at $2.39/16 oz bag unless I specifically need fresh.<br /> Strawberries are $4/pint right now, $3 if you find a sale. In the winter, they're quite a bit more.<br /> A half-gallon of regular milk is about $3, organic is $4.50-5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-grocery-spinoff#post-2598408 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 11:24:13 +0000 808love 2598408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jackiedavis87: 50th and most expensive state.
