Keep in mind that this is the first week of many to come, where baking supplies will be the lowest prices that we will see until this time next year. I think that $1/5 pounds of flour is a rock bottom (best of the season) price! The butter prices this week really aren't stockpilable in my opinion! Last year Land O Lakes (my favorite brand) sold 1 pound boxes at Kroger for $1.88, plus I spent $.50 coupons that doubled... so my pound of butter was $.88! I'm going to hold out for a while longer- especially since butter is freezable and I plan to purchase enough to last for the next year!
