A few notes:
* The Raw honey is good for use in items that aren't heated; cough syrup, cold drinks, toppings for toast, etc. If you want to bake/cook with something sweet, use either the molasses or maple syrup. They don't lose their nutritional value when heated like raw honey does. I use molasses in my breads.
* "$" is next to "Best" items that are actually a cheaper alternative than the store bought.
* I know I have some organic items in this chart. The price of organic is coming down and that's good, but I wouldn't worry too much about organic or not. Worry more about good fats, whole grains, more fruits and veggies, and less chemicals and junk.
* 100% whole wheat flour can take some getting used to. So to start, I recommend a half and half ratio of whole wheat flour and unbleached all purpose flour.
This is only a partial list. It's just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
