I paid $3 for a pound of butter today. And that was the sale price. That was half off the regular price. CRAZY! And slightly depressing. At Cub, butter was $3 to $4 a pound full price and sometimes went on sale for 99 cents. A lot of groceries seem a bit higher priced out here. It's kind of annoying, because the store's brand is distributed by Supervalu (MN) and so the store brand packaging is the same as Cub's store packaging - just different store name on it. So I know it's the exact same thing, but a lot of the stuff is twice the price. But I guess that's what you get when they have to ship it from MN to CA. :-( General Mills cereal is a lot higher priced too.
Luckily we are able to get much fresher produce here than in MN and usually the price will be much lower. So hopefully that will help offset the prices of everything else.

I don't know about butter, the farmer's markets are the cheapest place to get your veggies / fruits. If there is a Fresh & Easy by you, they are usually decently priced. Gelson's is the most expensive and I don't really like Ralph's or Vons, but they are cheaper than gelsons.... Yeah, it is a big bummer how expensive it is out here :(
