For example, at our local market, a pound of butter that is labeled "no growth hormone rBST" is $3.49, while one without such labeling is $2.99 (neither is organic - that will cost at least $5.99). Buying for people with special food needs pushes the cost up even more. Both my wife and son are wheat and dairy intolerant and with careful buying we have gotten our weekly grocery bill down to $150 for the three of us. I'm jealous of most people's grocery budget.
