Price of Sugar

[Two Bees]

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.

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.

[Two Bees]

Woodchopper, is that $2.47 for 5 pounds?

[doak]

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!
