I searched this forum but didn't see a thread that deals directly with my question. I thought it would be interesting (and helpful to those planning to relocate) to compare prices for individual food items.
What do you pay for a quart of milk? How about a loaf of bread? A pound of hamburger? A dozen eggs? A box of cereal? Fresh produce?
