Out here in east Texas ...
gas $3.22 - $3.39 diesel $3.98 - $4.09 milk $4.29 - $6.59 depends on brand / raw cow's milk $10/gal doz. eggs $2.29 - $4.09 depends on brand / yard eggs $2.50/doz bread $1.09 - $3.99 depends on brand
Fortunately, since we have chickens I don't have to purchase eggs and I make my own bread. I also use reconstituted powdered milk for cooking.

Good Morning from the great Northwest.
Gas: $3.54 - $3.59 (yes this is the cheap stuff) Milk: 2 gallons for $4.99 (Costco) Eggs: $1.70/dz for the 2 dz and $1.60 dz for 5 dz (Costco) Bread: I make all of our bread
When we first moved back to Washington I looked into powdered milk to make the milk go further and powered milk is more than $3.00 a gallon out here, so I don't use it.
We too are struggling with the food budget.

In NE Oklahoma gas just went up this morning to $3.29 for the medium grade...$3.19 for the cheap stuff...Bread is $1.78 at Walmart..Mrs. Baird's brand (doesn't stick to dh dentures) I get the whole wheat white...all others are over $2.00. Eggs I don't know I get them at Braums when I get milk...2% is $3 something...dh usually goes to Braums as he gets bananas for 44 cents a lb. (64 cents at Walmart) he also gets apples as they're also cheaper there. It's a struggle here too!

I am in Pennsylvania. At our local store here in town: gas: $3.41 a gallon, for the cheap stuff bread $1.49 a loaf for the generic brand eggs: $2.09 a dozen milk is $3.95 for gallon of 2%
Some of those prices vary from walmarts prices,but we are 40 minutes away from walmart so I only try to go once a month.

wow. things really are somewhat similar but vary as well. I read an article in the newspaper a few weeks ago that cooking oil at one market may end up costing $4.00! Now that's incredible.

A few days ago, I read an AP article that said "Washington officials" expect food cost to rise another 150% by the end of the year and gas prices are expected to go above $4 per gal by mid-summer.
I find it interesting that historically our nation seems to have some type of economic crisis during election years. It often seems like satan is using economic woes to distract citizens away from other issues regarding the protection of our freedoms and choices?
