Has anyone else noticed that the price of sugar has gone ballistic since last fall? Last fall, I paid $4.50 for a ten pound bag at the local grocery store and now the same bag is $6.50! :shock:
They didn't even put "New and Improved" on the package to justify the price increase!
What are you paying?
Haven't noticed lately. I use Honey for sweetener. :)doak
Aldi's had 5lb for 1.65 last fall. I bought 600 lb. I don't need any more for a while.
Grocery store discount sale prices depending on the brand name.
$2.98 / $2.48 per 5 pd bag
$6.98 / $6.48 per 10 pd bag
$18.98 25 pd bag of off brand only
10 lb bag is $4.87 at the local grocery in Pflugerville Texas.
We have an Aldi store close by so I'll check it out. 600 pounds is a lot of sweetener!
We're paying $1.02/pound in eastern Washington.

Bought 10# today @.469/lb. Worcester MA
That's about what I was paying last fall, camero! Maybe I'm just seeing a local thing and should shop a little more.
Thanks!
I am paying about .45 a pound for sugar from either walmart or aldi. I know that walmart is cane sugar, it says so on the bag, but aldi just says sugar, so i am unsure if it is cane or beet sugar. will feeding beet sugar affest the bees any differently?
I checked out Walmart yesterday and a 10 pound bag of sugar had dropped from about $6.50 to $5.50. I bought a couple of bags but I thought I might wait 2-3 weeks and see if the price drops to the price range that it was last fall ($4.50).
Wal-Mart 25lb bag is $11.49. That's .46 cents a pound. Actually better price than it was last summer. Was $12.58 for 25lb bag last summer.
$2.47 at the local NH grocery store. I wish I was a member of Costco or Wal-Mart sold bigger bags around here.
Woodchopper, is that $2.47 for 5 pounds?
Found some 4 lb bgs for $1.99 :)doak
25# for +/- $13 at Cosco. The 50# bag saves you a dollar over 2 25# bags but my wife can't lift the 50# bag.
Crud....since my earlier response, I went by WalMart. Peeked at the sugar. $14.59 for 25lb bag!!! That's a $3 increase in 2 days! YIKES!
A month ago I bought 50#s in 10 # sacks for $3.00 a sack from our local amish dent and bent grocery outlet wish I had bought him out. ITs hit and miss but somedays he'll bring in pallets full.

Michigan has Sava-lot $1.99 4lbs. Walmart was 12.95 for 25lb. at least it was in the fall.
I've noticed that you have to be careful with some stores. They have begun to put 4# bags of sugar on the shelves at the 5# price!
Checked in the local Food Lion stores and a 10# bag was still in the $6.50 range. Checked in Walmart yesterday and their 10# bag of Pure Cane was $4.72 and their 25# bag was $11.68. Haven't checked Aldi's yet.
Think I'll stock up at Walmart!
