HOUSTON We compared prices on the food staples we all need, like bread and milk.
We hit four different kinds of stores -- a discount super store, a grocery store, a drug store and a convenience store. We didn't clip coupons or look at weekly ads, we simply stopped to shop. At each store, we looked for the cheapest price we could find.

Kroger - $3.00 on sale
