[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9489296, member: 93670"] I'm not really a beer drinker but since cocktails worth drinking tend to be at least a bit over double that here I'll give a different datapoint for comparison. the 2014 PHB lists flour at 2cp/pound in the trade goods section. Since trade goods tend to be bulk things rather than personal size direct to consumer retail scale orders I'll use the prices on a commercial supplier. Looking on restaurantdepot I could get 50 pounds worth of a few varieties of flour for about 20$ with specialty & niche things like corn & 00 flour coming in a bit more. I think that works out to around 10sp : 20$ [spoiler] Golden Tiger - Hi-Gluten Flour - 50 lbs 20.34$ Lenz's Best - High Gluten Flour - 50 lbs 18.53$ All Trumps - High-Gluten Flour - 50 lbs 25.97$ Maseca - Regular #1 Corn Flour - 50 lbs 33.25$ FLOUR 00 POLS RED 25KG 40.11$ Sir Lancelot - High Gluten Flour - 50lb 22.38$ Maseca - Corn Flour - 4.4 lbs 45.37$/case of 10 Len'z Best - All Purpose Flour - 25 lbs - sale 8.79$ old Medal - Hotel & Restaurant Self-Rising Flour - 25 lbs 25.10$ Gazab Imported Chakki Atta Flour 20lb 23.27 [/spoiler] Going by some of the other trade goods they have 30 pounds of fresh ginger(1gp/pound) for 49.97$ or 6x4 pound packs (24pounds) for 50.72$ & Going to drop brands because it's hard to copy without huge letters & such [spoiler="salt (5cp/pound)....."] Plain salt 26oz carton 33.92$/case of 25 Fine sea salt 12.5kg tub 26.72$ Salt 2pound, case of 63.42$ Granulated salt 50 pounds, 10.50$ Seasoned salt 5 pounds, 23.37$ [/spoiler] [spoiler="cheddar cheese"] I went with cheddar because it's a common hard cheese & hard cheeses are more friendly to being carried around for distances.
