So I was just at the store today, and rice cost under $.30/lb. I bought 12lbs to stick in the cabinet. Milk, which had been hovering around $6 a gallon, was back under $4 a gallon here. In general, prices for things I get each week have gone down the past two weeks. What usually costs me $40 cost me $34 today, and I got a few extra things, like strawberry milkshake Oreos. Gas may cost more, but if groceries are a bit cheaper, it helps.
