Local Price Comparision for May AFM boxes

Angel Food Ministries now has a price comparison map on their home page. I have submitted Wichita, KS prices for the B1 Bread of Life (Signature) box and the B3 Bountiful Blessing box.

On Tuesday, May 3, I took the list of B1 and B3 items to a local Dillons. Using as close to the same items and sizes as possible, I came up with $68.75 and $89.65, respectively, before tax, using a Dillons card for discount. I also chose the least expensive brand, while still trying to match the items as close as possible. A cash purchase would have cost $73.77 and $96.19 and about an hour of my time, as compared to $35 and $46 (sales tax exempt) and about 10 minutes to pick up at New Covenant.
