I've been buying ingredients to make a pie for a Memorial Day cookout. I sh*t you not, I've spent over $35 to buy flour, butter, sugar, and the fruit going into it. INSANE.

SureOP, sure. Butter, flour and sugar will run you $15 max- all pantry staples. No fruit is in season except strawberries, and those are not costing you $20.

Butter: $8.50
Flour: $8.79
Sugar: $5.99
Berries: $7.50

Add tax. $35.

Go back to your expired food section in the lowest of the low store, Carol. I bet you buy flour with weevils in it, then brag about how thrifty of a shopper you are, lol.

Safeway:

Butter: $4.39 for a box
Flour: $3.49 for 5 lbs
Sugar $4.79 for 4 lbs
2 lbs strawberries: $3.99 (online Safeway coupon)

Total: $16.66

NP. People still clip coupons? Interesting, I used to do that as a young girl with my grandmother.

Are you of extremely advanced age?

Anyone else motivated by this to make a pie this weekend? I have my crust chilled and am off to assemble and bake it! I think it’s probably $10-15 with all the stuff (including kerrygold from Costco) — strawberries were definitely the most expensive part. Rhubarb is cheap!
So generally what I find is — home baked is cheaper than a fancy bakery but you’ll never beat the prices for the Costco or giant bakery.

Flour: $8
Butter: $5
Sugar: $5

fruit... $8? What kind of fruit?

Where the eff do you shop, and how do you not have flour, butter or sugar on hand? Being out of one and needing some fresh fruit, I can see. But... You never bake? You never cook? How are you on E already?

I just paid $9 for what I deem is a small amount of red grapes.

You're an idiot for many reasons, not the least of which is: grapes make terrible pie.

?????

I’m so elated to finally see a post like this on DCUM.

I gave up on coupons when I realized it's all the processed garbage food that has the coupons. It just wasn't worth it for me to check, clip, store and use them by the date for the "good" stuff as it's rare.

Strawberries aren't a "processed garbage food" nitwit. Follow the thread.

Stores that offer rewards (where you can put in your phone number or scan your card to get discounts) have online coupons. You don't need to "clip" them physically. You just add them to your account online, add the items to your cart at the store, and then scan your card/enter your number when you check out and the discounts are applied.

It's almost like some of y'all need a remedial class in home ec. Pathetic.

I buy 50 lb for $20 then store it in the freezer like a normal person. I don’t waste $9 for 5-10 lb flour, Susan.

Normal people do not buy 50 pounds of flour and store it in the freezer.

+1 nobody non-commercial has that kind of space. And commercial would be using the flour up quickly.

That’s ridiculous. Are you baking for a football team.

I don’t live in a DC shoebox, plenty of room for a few pounds of flour.

Keep up. This whole thing has to go in your freezer.

I take a great deal of comfort in knowing that the people insulting "mormons and preppers" and "obese people" for having... flour... are not likely to survive any sort of extended emergency or crisis, especially since we're likely to face at least one if not several of them in the not-so-distant future.

The anti-science, anti-preparedness trolls will be the first to go, and good riddance!

Normal people do not buy 50 pounds of flour and store it in the freezer.

Actually, normal people who regularly use flour do exactly this, and have been for years.

Only preppers and Mormons.

Or obese people who feed their children a disgusting amount of white flour.

It really isn't healthy.

white flour is fine, and plenty of cultures all over the world enjoy healthy diets that contain white flour. refined flours don't go rancid as fast. this is a good thing, and a large part of why the world works the way it does. You are stupid, and can't think beyond oversimplified MAHA talking points.

You are a horrible person, and a simple-minded idiot who can't even make a decent argument or insult. Have the day you deserve, troll.

Well, you should bake it first.
