Maryland Monday - Sugar

Maryland Monday is a new series on grocery prices in the Maryland area. Each Monday I'll post the price of a common grocery item from a variety of Maryland grocery stores. I hope this helps you to find the best prices in your area and keep your grocery bill as low as possible.


This week's grocery item is sugar. The prices listed below are the best price per pound at that store for the store brand unless noted otherwise:

• BJ's (Westminster): $5.29 (10 lbs) = $0.53/lb (Domino's)
  
• BJ's (Westminster): $12.49 (25 lbs) = $0.49/lb (Dominio's)
  
• Food Lion (Eldersburg): $4.59 (10 lbs) = $0.46/lb
  
• Giant Food (Westminster): $2.79 (5 lbs) = $0.56/lb
  
• Martin's (Eldersburg): $14.29 (25 lbs) = $0.57/lb
  
• Safeway (Eldersburg): $5.35 (10 lbs) = $0.54/lb
  
• Shopper's (Eldersburg): $4.69 (10 lbs) = $0.47/lb
  
• SuperFresh (Westminster): $4.99 (10 lbs) = $0.49/lb
  
• Wal-Mart (Eldersburg):$4.28 (10 lbs) = $0.43/lb
  
• Weiss (Westminster): $5.69 (10 lbs) = $0.57/lb
  

*There have been coupons out for Domino Sugar recently which sometimes brings that price down to less than the Wal-Mart store-brand price, especially when matched with a good sale. However, I encourage you to be careful. Just because a store advertises an item on sale does not mean you are getting the best price. If you find a better price at your local store, please post it in the comments.

Next Week's grocery comparison will be flour.
