Well it sure is higher here in Western PA. Based on your list...we get one head of lettuce for a buck if we're lucky! Coffee runs around $6-7 dollars. Corn oil is $3.00...so you are doing well there. A bag of oranges on special is $3.00 ...Hellmans Mayo..on sale...$3.50...100oz. Gain detergent on sale...$10.00.

Those were the ad items this week.

Normally lettuce is about $1 per head here too.

Oranges are up a little this week but the last time I bought them they were 8 for $1 (and very good)

Texas Grapefruit were 4 for $1 (2 for $1 this week)

I can do wonders with chicken, potatoes, pinto beans and garden veggies. Have a great German Potato soup recipe that I use leftover ham in.

Cannot beat chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Pretty cheap meal that everyone loves.

Basic stuff is still pretty cheap, the prepared things are what run into money.

We have cattle on the farm and a building where we process meat (for our own use, and for our neigbors wild game). (Commercial Hobart butchers bandsaw, meat slicer, sausage mill and walk-in box)
