Dave Ramsey - What do you think?

[Orion1876]

The last time that I looked for regular groceries (like non perishables and stuff) that Amazon ships to you I found their prices to be EXTREMELY high and not at all even close to competitive, which is WEIRD for Amazon.

This is true.  You have to watch prices when ordering from Amazon.  They tend to raise prices pretty high but a lot of the time the price come down over time a bit as demand slows a bit.

I guess it comes down to how badly you need a given ingredient I guess.

Supply and demand. 

Sadly more often than not there is more demand then there is a supply of various things.
