[Clinging Bitterly]

Here I last paid $1.65 per gallon (but it is going up fast right now), $1.89 for a gallon of store brand 2% milk(fairly stable), and $.53 for a store brand loaf (also fairly stable). Big bags of generic cold cereals run a couple bucks, bananas are .38 /lb, a box of stick margarine will run you about half a buck, frozen veggies will run you .59 /lb and up, local fresh veggies in season cheaper, Calif. hothouse or Mexican/South American fresh veggies available all winter for somewhat more, and meat seems a bit high around here larely. The info on the groceries might be helpful, it is from Winco (formerly Waremart), a regional chain that I hear is big in Idaho. The name brands are a lot more though, and usually when I see a cart loaded with name brands, it'll be paid for with food stamps.

If you are moving from Alaska to just about anywhere else that's not a huge population center, you will save a whole bunch on groceries.

bananas are .38 /lb

Holy Cow!!! You failed to mention where your from. Our bananas are about 1.19 lb and they are usually either green as grass or rotten.
