I haven't bought canned veggies in awhile, but want to start stocking up.

My local grocers has their store brand on sale for .69 for a 14 oz can. Is that a good price??? I thought that .40 used to be a decent sale price, but that was a year or so ago.

We're in SoCal if it makes any difference.

TIA!

I think that's a good price....our local store has them on sale 4/$3 so its close. But I wanted to add that I read in todays Boston Globe that people should try to limit their exposure to Bisphenol A (chemical in plastics and cans) by uring fresh or frozen over canned whenever possible. BPA is being banned in Canada in plastic bottles, no news on cans yet.

I meant "using"

Our local store sells name brand veggies for about $.60-.65/14oz can (Green Giant), Store brand or 2nd brand (Butter Kernal, Hyvee Brand) for about $.50/can and their no-name or generic brand for $$.44-.48 can.

At Aldi's I can regularly get veggies for $.39/can.

Our Wal Mart has Libbys for .57...and wal mart brand is cheaper(I forget the price though )

Where I work I can get canned veggies for .37 per can about $4.44 a case. Needless to say, I stock up on them when they are on sale. I can also get 30oz cans of fruit for $1 when on sale too.

I don't pay more than 50 cents a can unless I absolutely have to. I also prefer frozen veggies and try not to pay more than 90 cents for those.

I didn't realize that BPA was in the cans too.
Thanks for the tip.

I have always known that fresh or frozen was better for you but I didn't realize that it was because of anything more than lack of nutrients.
