How much $4/carton oats do you need to make a half gallon of oat milk (assuming that was $5.79 for half gallon)? Oats aren't cheap either.Oat milk is the easiest and cheapest plant milk to make at home if you have a blender.

Grocery store meat goes on sale BOGO all the time. Typically $0.50 to $1 /lb. more than just every day prices at Walmart
I want to say our alcohol tax is only 10% and from what I could find tobacco being $1.29 per carton. MO which I live next too has a ridiculously low amount for tobacco tax so I'm sure people go over there to buy it as we live right at the border too.no grocery tax here except on prepared foods, soft drinks and dietary supplements. we live near the idaho boarder so we get allot of people who grocery shop here b/c avoiding the 6% tax they would pay on groceries in idaho saves them quite a bit. on the flip side we have sin taxes so locals to us go across the boarder to idaho buy tobacco and alcohol (here it's $30.25 flat tax per carton/20.5% tax on alcohol). i hate the concept of groceries being taxed.
There are 14 c in a large $4 canister of oats so that equals $0.29 per cup. You would need about 1.5 c to make the amount of milk that comes in a carton of oat milk (48-52oz) so the cost would be approximately $0.43. So, it is definitely cheaper.How much $4/carton oats do you need to make a half gallon of oat milk (assuming that was $5.79 for half gallon)? Oats aren't cheap either.
For those allergic to dairy and tree nuts, it's one of the superior milk subs for coffee. Soy is always chalky, rice is too thin (although it's awesome for mashed potatoes and savory cooking), coconut has too much coconut flavor, and hemp tends not to be available. So, oat milk is just right - for coffee anyway.I didn’t even know oat milk was a thing until I apparently had it in my coffee at Gideons. Is this a new type of drink or is it regional? Never seen it around here.
I only buy the two-buck chuck, beer, and some of the seasonal holiday stuff. I don't find it works well for a family of four. I do better bulk shopping at Costco or Sams. I used to shop at Sprouts a lot, but it's gotten too expensive.
The Sam's in our area has really good produce from Mexico and so does Food city.
Housing here is super expensive so unfortunately we don’t have a ton of storage space, which makes it hard to stock up from Costco. We’re a family of five and with our limited space it’s just easier to stop by Trader Joe’s a couple times a week and get what we need. Costco is also further away, so there’s the convenience factor too.
I guess I’m fortunate to have a walk in pantry. I keep it very well stocked on everything. If there’s ever an event in the world that causes panic buying again I don‘t want to be the one standing in line at 6am to buy toilet paper or anything else.I learned my lesson in 2020.Housing here is super expensive so unfortunately we don’t have a ton of storage space, which makes it hard to stock up from Costco.

I hear ya, some of my favorite stuff has gone away too or is seasonal and is only here for a short time. The good thing is they come out with new stuff often and I find a lot of new things I like instead.i love trader joes but the bulk of what i used to purchase they no longer carry. some has been due to supply chain issues but according to the managers at the 2 local to us-the greater issue is with the company's competitive pricing strategy. too many items have gone above what they are willing to carry in the store. i get that, i appreciate that BUT i know prices have gone up and i would be willing to pay more for some of the items i've only ever been able to get there.
I dream of having a walk in pantry someday! When we get around to renovating that is high on my list.I guess I’m fortunate to have a walk in pantry. I keep it very well stocked on everything.

I honestly don't know how families with children or the elderly on a fixed income can afford food/heat costs now?
When my Mom worked, the average hourly pay for a secretary was 3.79 dollars. If you worked at what was the norm back then, your social security reflects that now. She is doing okay due to my Dad's pension, but without that she would be hurting financially. (we wouldn't let her of course).
I know our food bank is 40% more busy that last year. That's a significant increase post covid. A lot of stores and bakeries that I know donate to the food shelf and senior centers. It's a sad situation all around and I hope this inflation will recede this year.
We buy Great Value brand, in fact Great Value's cream cheese soared in sales last year although we've been purchasing it for years. If we're at the store and they are out of stock we'll make the determination if Philadelphia is worth that high of a cost. Like right now a 2 pack of GV is $3.18 while Philadelphia's 2 pack is $5.24 or more than $2 more.While we still use Philadelphia cream cheese when making cheesecake, there is no need for to use it for every day things.
Exactly!We buy Great Value brand, in fact Great Value's cream cheese soared in sales last year although we've been purchasing it for years.
I pretty much learned to use generic brand and shopping at ALDI for their brands when in college. Some things yeah you'll buy name brand but that's only if there's a taste issue for us. Nutritionally people assume name brand is better but it's not that way just because it's name brand, need to actual look at the labels and compare.
