How much do things like Eggs, gas, white wonder bread, milk and bacon cost in your area? Also where are you from? Who’s getting good deals right now and who’s getting squeezed?

Here in Hot Springs Arkansas (and the whole state to some extent) we have much more expensive than average prices on groceries. Decent prices on gas and good prices on cigarettes (I’m a smoker so it’s part of the budget). We have a grocery tax but we are getting rid of it. Hopefully it’ll let us have Texas prices.

Eggs $10/dozen
Gas $4.19/gallon at Costco
White Wonder Bread $3.10
Milk $5/gallon
Bacon $8/12oz
Cigarettes $10/pack Marlboros $13/pack Camels
Los Angeles Area, California

Massachusetts. Eggs go from 3 bucks to 10 bucks. Gas I shoot for 2.95 a gallon. Cigarettes no idea but they are over 100 a carton easy. Groceries for two is about 150-250 a week depending how much I shop around.
Red_Beard_Rising@reddit
The last carton of cigarettes I bought was over ten years ago and it was $100 back then. I lived in Chicago and drove to the burbs outside Cook county to buy them because the tax difference was worth the gas. I also filled the gas tank while I was there because it was much lower taxes.
In Chicago nobody even sold cigarettes by the carton by then. They were $14+/pack in the city and $100-120 in the burbs. I was stuffing tubes by then but would sometimes buy a few cartoons when I visited a friend in Indiana (they were half the price over the border). Twenty years ago I knew which bars the cigarette reps were giving out free packs on which nights.
I eventually switched to vaping ten years ago for a number of personal reasons, but these days vaping has boomed and the economics of scale has made it so inexpensive.
Rvtrance@reddit (OP)
It’s about $100 a carton here. But I can go to the tobacco store and they have two pack specials of Marlboro, red and black for $5.75 per pack if you buy two packs. normally they’re not supposed to let you buy a cartons worth, (it’s illegal but no one enforces it seems) but these guys always do so that puts me below state minimum carton prices.
sfdsquid@reddit
I have an electric machine (Hawk-Matic). I buy a big bag of tobacco (16 Oz) and 4 boxes of Tops tubes (250 tubes each) for less than $40 and get at least 3 cartons out of one bag. (I should actually pay attention but sometimes I make enough for a couple packs and sometimes I sit there and make enough to put in one of the Tops boxes.) I'm in NH where cigarettes are a lot cheaper than most places. I can't even guess how much I have saved.
Rvtrance@reddit (OP)
Yeah, are they as good as Marlboro’s? Because if they are, you have my attention.
Red_Beard_Rising@reddit
Sounds like Indiana.
Some Chicago bodegas would break apart the "buy 2 get one free" packs and sell the free pack individually. Nobody ratted because their cigarette prices were the best around (and this was Chicago).
Rvtrance@reddit (OP)
Yeah Hot Springs is famously corrupt too. We love our cash, we are famous for our water and we use it to launder money. But speaking of Chicago one of our big claims to fame is Al Capone and a lot of those guys would come here with their families or without them to drink play cards and chase “Dames”. It was Vegas before Vegas and a national park before national parks. It’s a real cool town warts and all.
Successful_Sense_742@reddit
I switched to smoking Cheyenne little cigars. They are $1.99 a pack. The only difference is it's rolled with tobacco leaf paper and not rice paper.
snmnky9490@reddit
Before I quit a year ago, they were over $20/pack in Chicago
blondechick80@reddit
Agree. Eggs at Aldi are close to $6/doz. And that's the cheapest I've found consistently. Walmart is a close 2nd. But we only have cage free eggs here.
I just googled the price of cigarettes, b/c I have no idea and a carton of marlboro's is $130+ depending on version. Plus a 6.25% sales tax.
Milk I would say is around $5/gallon
FishermanNatural3986@reddit
People telling me MB has 2.99 for medium eggs and I just go ok because I hate going in there.
blondechick80@reddit
We don't have a MB near me. Got a Big Y, and a S&S, and a couple smaller stores. Walmart and Aldi are about 25 minutes south.
Big Y regular price for eggs is around $8. Same at the small store in town, and I rarely go to S&S.
Also I don't want medium eggs per se. Breakfast eggs, okay, but for cooking I want large.
Rvtrance@reddit (OP)
Cooking always calls for large eggs anyways. It’s all I buy.
blondechick80@reddit
Same. Unless i have farm eggs
Rvtrance@reddit (OP)
There’s a lot of folk getting some eggs from local coops. They are cheaper I hear, they probably don’t tax you and kept it all cash. One local lady wrote and got published a children’s book about her chickens. I forget what it’s called though.
CynicalBonhomie@reddit
Last week MB had Eggland's Best for 3.99/dz while the store brand was $6.99. Makes no sense

I bought pasture raised, organic super fancy eggs for $7.99 the other day. I forget which store it was, but it was not Market Basket or ALDI. They’re always more expensive than other kinds of eggs and I want to say they were $6.49 the last time I bought eggs in January.
Gas is $2.81 at Cumberland Farms because I have a loyalty card. It’s $2.91 otherwise.
I have no idea how much those other things cost because I don’t buy them.
shelwood46@reddit
I'm in PA and with the recent price hikes, the fancy free range organic eggs are *cheaper* than the store brand eggs here. Fancy eggs, $5-8/doz, regular chicken torture eggs, $9-12/doz. The fancy eggs are always sold out these days because people aren't dumb.
Gas here is about $3.15, cigs about $10/pk (w/Wawa rewards), milk $3/gal, haven't bought bacon in ages, I never buy Wonder bread but Maiers Italian bread is $4.29 full price but I only buy it when it's on sale for $2.
firerosearien@reddit
Eastern pa can confirm on eggs and gas
craigfrost@reddit
This is the correct eastern pa answer.
Rvtrance@reddit (OP)
I buy the fancy ones too. They kind of stayed the same price while the great value ones are like 30 cents less.
Careless-Ability-748@reddit
I think the local Stop and Shop near me was about $9 for a dozen eggs recently. NOT organic or fancy.
I did manage to get some bacon on sale for $5
Both_Wasabi_3606@reddit
In DC, my nearby Trader Joe has a dozen pasture raised brown eggs for $4.99. Milk is $1.89 for half gallon whole milk at my Harris Teeter supermarket. Gas is under $3 in Virginia where I go to get gas when I run errands. But I drive so little I only need to fill up about once a month.
kalelopaka@reddit
Everything has gone up here in Kentucky. Eggs are $7-$9 a dozen, white bread is about $3-$4 a loaf, milk is $3 per gallon, bacon ranges from $6-$9 per pound. Gas has been fluctuating from $3.50-$4.70 per gallon for the last 4 years. I’m lucky with eggs, as I have neighbors who raise chickens so they give me eggs pretty regularly. Cigarettes and whiskey are pretty cheap here because they are big industries, and we have no taxes on groceries.

Dozen Eggs - 5-5.50 Walmart (new law also passed where all eggs sold in Michigan must be cage free farm fresh eggs)
Gas - 2.99-3.10, but I go to Costco and sometimes get lucky with 2.75-2.80
Don't get white wonder bread, but I can get whole wheat bread for 2.50 at Walmart
Bacon - 9.99 for medium quality thicker bacon

Ypsilanti Food Coop in depot town. Their basic eggs never went above 4.99, and they've had a 3.99 option in stock nearly every time I've gone (at least once a week).
This even while fresh thyme is sold out of 8.99 eggs.

Today, large eggs, $5.49/dosen. Gas was $2.95/gallon. Milk $2.79/gallon. Bacon was on sale for $12.99 for 2lbs ( it was pre packaged, thick cut ). White wonder bread, sorry, no idea, but last week a loaf of Rye, cost $5.89, while the store brand of whole wheat was $2.49, and loaf of Rye, was 1/2 the size. I live in mid Michigan. I get deals buying my meat, from local farmers,( about 1/2 a cow a year) witch worked out ( last year ) to about $5/lbs.
Extension_Camel_3844@reddit
Portland, OR area - $6 farm fresh eggs ( have been buying from same person for 5 years, her prices went from $5 to $6 this year), Milk $2.49 or $1.99 if it's onsale (I only buy a half gallong) Regular gas is anywhere from $3.25-$4.69 a gallon for regular depending on what city/county you are in. You will always pay the most for gas in this state in Multnomah County with their extra taxes on top of Portlands extra taxes.
yinzer_v@reddit
I haven't been to the Winco on 102nd recently, so I don't know their prices now.
Gas Buddy says regular is $3.15/gallon at the Arco at 39th/Belmont, $3.19 at Value Fill at 9150 SE Division.
Extension_Camel_3844@reddit
Unfortunately I spent a good portion of my life with a mechanic and only put Shell or Chevron gas in my vehicle at this point of her life. She's too old to get the cheap stuff, but I'd rather pay for more expensive oil changes and gas and keep my non-car payment life going for as long as I can LOL Just got gas this morning at Shell in Fairview, $3.85 for regular, $4.15 mid grade.
InfidelZombie@reddit
I feel like we've been largely immune to the grocery inflation debacle in PDX for some reason. Nothing I buy has gone up more than \~15% in the last five years, which is "good ol' days" inflation rate. Eggs are the exception, but that isn't inflation. My family of two eats like kings on about $300/mo.
Extension_Camel_3844@reddit
Agreed, it does feel that way for me too. But I do get my produce from the farm stand and my meat from meat market though, eggs from farm down the road, etc.. I thought I was just avoiding it by avoiding the grocery stores LOL

Minnesota River Valley. Eggs are about $7 a dozen. Gas is a little over $3. I have never purchased white wonder bread in my life but the generic split top wheat bread I get is like $1.79. I buy whole milk and it's about $3 a gallon. Bacon varies, it can be anywhere from $3 to $8. For our family of 4, grocery shopping at the least expensive store in my area, it's about $300 a week. There is no tax on food except for prepared food, pop, and candy.
No-Function223@reddit
Northern California. Eggs and bacon both run like $8-$10. Gas, bread, & milk run around $5. The cigarettes I smoke are around $10 a pack- very mid-range. Our taxes are stupid & unfortunately not going anywhere. But we have a reasonable living wage compared to the cost living (speaking specifically of my area idk how the rest of California is doing).
Suspicious_Expert_97@reddit
5.97 for a dozen large Walmart eggs. 3.18 for a gallon of Walmart milk. 2.92 for a load of wonder white bread. 4.85 per lb for Walmart bacon. 3.15 a gal for regular gas.
No state tax on groceries and 1.7 for city tax.
VintagePHX@reddit
Where are you getting gas for $3.15? Costco is the only place I've seen it under $3.60.
I can't even find 1 dozen eggs at Walmart unless they are fancy eggs. They push the 18 packs now for 8.85. I haven't seen eggs at Costco in about 2 months.
Suspicious_Expert_97@reddit
I don't live in Phoenix that's for sure haha. The gas is at any Chevron or circle k near me and there's even cheaper gas if I travel a bit further. While the Walmart prices were all on their website and they said they're in stock.
Rvtrance@reddit (OP)
See that’s the prices I’m hoping for, but I live in a resort town so I bet it’ll never come down quite that much.
Suspicious_Expert_97@reddit
Eh the bread and milk seem quite low from seeing the comments but the eggs are high and the gas is mid. Low to no taxes is great though.
dallasalice88@reddit
Small town Wyoming. Eggs 10.99 dz. Milk around $5 gallon. Bread is insane $4-6 bucks a loaf. Unleaded $2.99 Premium (my vehicle) $3.70. Cigarettes no idea I don't smoke. We are always a bit higher due to the rural area but it's getting crazy. For reference I would have to drive two hours to get to the closest Walmart or major grocer.
Jaeger-the-great@reddit
I'm in MI, here eggs are $5-10/dozen, gas is around $3 a gallon, idk how much cheap bread costs but my bread is around $4-5/loaf (sourdough, artisan style), milk is around $2 for a half gallon, bacon is $5-7 a pack. Sometimes there are sales and there are generally cheaper options but they are also lower quality. I hate paying that much for eggs and bread, the bacon is surprisingly cheap, and the milk feels reasonably priced.

PNW, eggs are anywhere between 3.99-8.99. I was always a vital farms brown eggs buyer anyways, so it really doesn’t matter much if they are $6 bucks. I also don’t NEED them. I don’t bake, they aren’t essential to my eating. Bacon 6.99, Oat milk 4.99, the bread I get is about $4.
Struggling more with selection and freshness than price.

ants_taste_great@reddit
In San Antonio, gas here is around $2.70, eggs are weird because our free range and regular eggs have basically become the same at around $3.80 per dozen. I wouldn't be surprised if the free range become less expensive than the big egg providers. We buy bread like orowheat or honey oat and that really hasn't changed much. Orange juice seems to have gone up quite a bit. Bacon I find for about $5 for a lb but I just buy it when it's on sale. Overall, it feels like our grocery expense has increased about 50% but a lot of that is due to a toddler with a velociraptor appetite.
We do all of our grocery shopping at HEB here which is like a Publix if you're in the Southeast, or Albertsons if you're on the West Coast, Meijer if you're from Michigan.
If anything, what seems to be happening is the large scale producers are increasing their prices and smaller scale ones aren't as much.

I buy eggs at Costco the 5 dozen pack that can last me months at a time, so I didn’t notice but I knew about the birds dying from the flu again. But I got sick in December 10-January 13 I was in the hospital/ rehab facility for dress change as I couldn’t physically do it myself so my brother and dad would tell me they saw $10dozen eggs at the store and I like watching kron 4 so I saw the news. But I switched to wheat bread or whole wheat even but I see the prices sometimes and do make a mental notation.

Washington State, east of the cascades. Went to Kroger today
Eggs - $7-10/dozen but out of stock. To the point where they’ve put all sorts of other stuff in the fridge where the eggs usually are.
Wonder bread is $3.50, store brand is literally half that.
Store brand milk is $5/gallon.
Bacon is $5-8.
Gas is $3.60-4.10. I was in the west side of the state over the weekend and gas was pretty consistently $4+.

Yikes, that’s a resort town for you. I live in one and sometimes certain cities will give you a discount card if you can prove residency. (Honolulu did this) but we don’t have anything like that. But we aren’t quite as bad as you yet. By a fair margin really.

I'm in LA:
Gas: ~ $5.00 a gallon, CA requires a special formulation that (apparently) pollutes less?
Eggs: $4.00 - $7.00 a dozen, depending on how you wanted your chickens treated. I never have problems getting eggs
Milk: I don't drink dairy milk, so I don't know this one. A half gallon of almond milk is about $3.75
Bread: My husband will only eat keto bread, so it's $7.00 a loaf
Bacon: I don't usually buy this, but last time, I think it was around $5.00 for a pound

Bought eggs two days ago and they were 11 dollars. I don’t buy wonder bread but the bread I do buy is about 6 bucks a loaf. I’ve not bought bacon in ages so I don’t really know.. and I don’t really look at the price of milk as it is a must buy so I just load it in my cart.

I think egg prices recently increased but other groceries are just higher from inflation over the last couple of years.
Gas isn't that bad all things considered.

Eggs at Aldi and Costco are about $4-5 per dozen when normally they’d be a bit under $3 and bougie pasture raised used to be $5. Some price gouging grocery stores are going as high as $9-20 though.
White bread at Aldi went up from 50c to $1, otherwise I don’t really buy it if I shop elsewhere but like regular supermarkets have been pretty consistently like $3 a loaf for years now and I’d rather buy better bread at that point but Aldi’s super cheap white bread is definitely worth it for just toast or lazy sandwiches.
Bacon I feel like has been overpriced for a while as well $5-7/lb when not on sale. Rarely buy it though.
Gas is hovering around $3 (2.9-3.1) and it was more like 2.7 last year.
We buy lactaid milk and that’s also gone from about 3.50 to $5 for half a gallon.
Vegetables, chicken, and rice feel like they haven’t really changed that drastically in recent times thankfully.
geekycurvyanddorky@reddit
Eggs are roughly $4/dozen in store, but less at the small farm I prefer to buy eggs from. Gas is roughly $3/gallon. No idea about wonder bread, haven’t eaten that since I was a kid, but the whole wheat bread I sometimes get is $2.98. Milk is roughly $4/gallon unless you go to Costco. Bacon is $4-$6 a pack, I think. Oregon is no stranger to high prices for food, or gas prices, so this is all pretty normal. It’s normal for locals to split up their shopping trip to hit up a few stores to get better prices on necessities (Costco, Costco returned items stores, Winco/Waremart, US Chef Store, Safeway but only when they have actual sales on products). Some farmers markets accept EBT/SNAP. Best of luck to my fellow Americans that are experiencing groceries prices they can’t afford for the first time. It’s not depression bad yet, and I’m hoping it won’t get that bad. Look into local food resources, like food pantries, and try to buy in bulk if you can (sharing excess with family, friends, or even neighbors). Substitute eggs out of some recipes to help save money too.
InfidelZombie@reddit
Major city in the Pacific Northwest.
My grocery bills (\~$300/mo for a family of two) haven't increased noticeably in the last five years, but that's because the things I buy have largely avoided inflation (fruit/veg, for example, increased slower than overall inflation). Food is still basically free, so that's nice.

I went to Trader Joe’s in MA yesterday. Dozen cage free large white eggs were still $3.49. They had fancy heirloom eggs I like for $5.99. All eggs were limited to one carton/customer. Supposedly MA has very high grocery prices relative to most of the continental US, but I haven’t seen anything like what people are reporting. I assume because eggs are more local, bird flu is affecting some regions much worse than here.

Bay Area CA. just bought a dozen eggs at Safeway for $6.99. I think organic bc those seemed to be the cheapest. My local WF and Trader Joe’s haven’t had eggs in months. Like they started putting other things in the case. 1/2 gal of milk about $3.50. I have an electric car but noticed reg gas about $4.50/gal. White bread and bacon no idea. I buy sliced sourdough that comes to the supermarket from a local bakery and it’s about $6 a loaf. My teen is on an avocado kick and they are about 4 for $5

Illinois but closer to STL than Chicago.
*Eggs: No clue. Our household is in a vicious cycle of my husband and I having scrambled days a few eggs in a row, his food hoarder mom who lives with us being like "OMG THEY'VE BEEN EATING EGGS!!! THEY LIKE EGGS!!! I BETTER BUY ALL THE EGGS!!!" and buying 3-5 cartons when they're on sale, husband and I getting burnt out on eggs partially due to MIL trashing our kitchen kinda killing our appetite, then most of the eggs going bad because our house is sort of the final stop in MIL's social circle's food hoarding chain. I fucking hate it. Sometimes I wish we were the ones on food stamps instead of her so we could only buy eggs when we want/need them, prices be damned.
Gas: $3:13 last I checked. We frequently go across the river to get it cheaper.
White Wonder Bread: We don't eat that kind of bread lol so I once again have no clue. When we do get bread, usually croissants or Hawaiian rolls, they're usually $3-$5 and MIL likes to hoard them too. Buys too much bread after we ask her not too, insists she'll eat some but eats like one or none, then guilts us when enough bread to feed a house of 10 goes moldy because we didn't wanna make ourselves sick or fat eating too much of something we practically beg her to not buy too much of. At this point, I believe she's not only a hoarder but a feeder. Guilting us into eating so much we get get fat like her is 100% her intention.
Bacon: Also no clue. Like the eggs, we only ever buy it when it's on sale and that was a couple months ago. I think it was $2 a pack. Yes, MIL hoards that too. At least it freezes better than eggs or bread though.
Milk: We only get the cartons of evaporated milk for $2-$3 (MIL hoards milk too so I convinced her to buy that instead because it stays good longer and takes up less space) so I have no clue what whole milk costs here anymore.

I buy homemade sourdough made with local organic flour from a local bakery for $6 for a big heavy loaf.
On the rare occasions I get bacon, it comes from a local farm, he doesn't charge by the pound, every now and then I go buy $100 worth of mixed beef and pork from him. He barely charges me anything, I probably get 40-plus pounds of things like beef tenderloin from him for that money.

Eggs are at $8 a dozen where I am (central Florida). They have two dozen at costco for $10 but, not surprisingly, are out of stock.
I don’t buy milk or bread very often. My roommate is lactose intolerant so, when I buy milk, it’s a half gallon or smaller so it’s used up within a few days.
And I buy keto bread occasionally. It’s $7 a loaf and lasts a month for me. You can keep it in the fridge and it doesn’t mold etc.
I’m quite upset about the eggs. I enjoy a good soft boiled egg or a soy sauce marinated egg as a snack. But, I’m not spending $8 for them.

Eggs - average is $9/dz in most grocery stores (Ralphs/Kroger is higher, as is Vons.. if you can catch Trader Joe's before they sell out, you might be able to get them for $4.99.)

Bacon: I don't eat processed meats, but I can get 99% lean ground turkey for $4.99/lb, b/s chicken breast for $3.49 and thigh for $2.89. This is regular pricing - they have sales on meat that make it easy to buy cheaper.

North Central Washington State
I live in a small town about 60 miles north of Wenatchee (nearest metro hub of about 40,000 people). So the first price is my small town grocery store, the 2nd is about what it costs at WinCo in Wenatchee (we aim to go there about once a month and stock up)
Eggs $7 dz. Or last month I paid $4.50 for 18 at WinCo. Gas. $3.99 or $3.60 ish at Costco last I checked Bread $5 a loaf in my small town or $3 at WinCo. I tend to buy Franz or Naked brand Milk. $5.50/gal or $3.25 at WinCo.
Bacon $6 a pack or $4.50/lb. for WinCo economy bacon (tastes okay not sliced consistently). It's about $8/lb for midgrade bacon, $6 for a large pack.
As you can see, just shopping at a larger discount chain makes such a huge difference.

I'm from Kansas but all of these are from the Missouri side of State Line. The gas would be a little higher in Kansas.
Gas - $2.65. Missouri runs maybe 5-7 cents lower than Kansas thanks to lower gas taxes. (Missouri's roads are noticeably worse as a result.)
Eggs - around $8 for a 24-pack
Milk - $3.50ish
Bread - I don't buy that brand, but a 2-loaf pack of whole wheat is about $4.50
Bacon - don't buy often but I think a 3-4 pound pack runs about $4 per pound.
Smokes - no idea but I hear people talk about how Missouri has cheap smokes. Kansans drive across State Line to buy all the time. In fact, there are "discount cigs" shops right there within a block of the line for this purpose.

$7-$13 for eggs. Bread depends on the brand. Bacon $5-$7. Milk depends on what brand it is. I'm in California.

Not sure about the cheapest, but the locally farmed free range eggs I get have gone from $5 to $7 a dozen. I only go through 1-2 dozen a month so their price isn't a concern for me.
Haven't bought gas in years, looks like roughly $3 a gallon I think.
Dave's bread is the same $5-$6 a loaf it's always been. Consumed even less often than eggs so not that concerned about the price.
Milk is $2.75-$3 a gallon. Hasn't changed much in years.
Couldn't tell you about bacon.

I buy eggs by the 18 and they're $10.99 for regular old eggs...my guess is that they'll continue to go up a bit with bird flu and 160M+ birds being culled. Gas bounces around like always with the price of oil which is a global commodity...I paid $3.09 early last week...same station over the weekend was $2.75...this morning $2.99. Zero clue on Wonder Bread...I haven't eaten that in 40+ years. I have no idea on bacon either...it's usually something we either get for a special occasion breakfast or breakfast out. Cigarettes, no clue but I know my state taxes the hell out of them.

Eggs were $5-7 per dozen at Aldi (metro Detroit) when I shopped yesterday. That seems standard here: Meijer's website is giving prices of $5–7.50 per dozen.
I don't buy Wonder bread, but Meijer has it priced at $3.59. I rarely buy milk, but Mejier's price is $2.62/gal for store brand and $4.50 and up for name brands. Bacon is $5.49/lb at the lowest on their website (can't remember what I paid at Costco last month).
AAA states that the average gas price in my county is $3.001/gal. I've never purchased cigarettes so no idea how much those cost.

If you want to, one thing you can do is to use incognito mode in your browser and pull up grocery store websites to see what things cost in different areas by setting your Zip code to a zip code from that area. You can get Zip codes by googling a business in that area and looking at the address.
In my area, Eggs are about $5-8 per dozen, which is up significantly from $2.50 a dozen last November. Last summer, eggs cost about $2 per dozen, on frequent sale at $1 a dozen. There are several major egg farms near where I live.
Milk is about $2.69 a gallon, on regular sale.
In terms of white bread, the store brand is like $1.50, Sunbeam bread is like $2.50 a loaf, and Wonder Bread is like $3.50 a loaf. (I actually prefer Sunbeam, myself.)
Gas is about $3 a gallon, although it has been down. At Sam's, right now, it's $2.55/ gal.
carrie_m730@reddit
Adding to this: If you have a Walmart or Target app, you can change your zip code and pick a different store to see the different prices. Choose "in store" to make sure you're not getting the price for ordering online n
