These prices are the lowest in my neighborhood (Boston area) on a weekly
basis, mostly from Market Basket. They do not include sale prices or any
marked-down goods I might find on the discount rack. Of course, I
believe in stocking up when there IS a sale, but not everyone wants to
have large amounts of butter, yeast or soy flour taking up space in the
freezer. (Butter goes on sale maybe 3 times a year, where I live.)
 The Tightwad Gazette chart (created by Amy Dacyczyn) had: price per
pound, weight per cup, price per cup, price per tablespoon, and price
per teaspoon. To save time, I'm only listing the price per cup or
tablespoon (sometimes rounded up or down). If it doesn't say "Tb," then
it means the price per cup. The main purpose is to allow you to compare
made-from-scratch foods with each other.
 If you use soy flour/powder and powdered milk in a pancake mix, you can
add water instead of milk.
  Baking powder 12 cents (Tb)
Baking soda 24.5 (Tb)
Brown sugar 59
Butter $1.99
Cocoa powder 8 (Tb)

Cornmeal 47
Cornstarch 37 (Tb)
Honey $3

I use unsweetened chocolate bars from Hershey's, not powder.  Now ask me why and I won't be able to tell you except I like it better.
