Yikes....hold the Milk!!!

My daughter and her husband are in England, as many of you know. Recently, she was sharing information with a friend of theirs who lives in China and one in Little Rock, AR. The idea was to compare grocery prices. It sorta puts things in perspective when you see the numbers....

Of course at the time they ran these numbers gas in the US was lower. Now it is around 3.55 in our neck of the woods. Milk is $3.98 or higher. And yes, their beef in the UK is from "Mad cows" so you can see how the price is affected! :) Hence the price for cheese too! If the cows had a better attitude, the price might be different.

	China	USA	England
Bread (loaf)	$0.68	$2.69	$1.17
Milk (gallon)	$3.68	$3.62	$5.17
Butter (stick)	$1.57	$0.86	$1.00
Eggs (dozen)	$0.62	$2.26	$2.30
Cheese (24 slices)	$3.39	$3.53	$5.73
Pampers (40pk)	$7.25	$11.29	$12.56
Chicken Breast (lb)	$1.40	$3.49	$7.99
Beef (lb)	$2.15	$5.29	$2.00
Gas (gallon)	$2.71	$3.19	$10.00

Total grocery bill (excluding gas):

$37.92…England
$33.03…USA
$20.74…China
