A few notes:

1. I am pleasantly surprised at how cheap Fred Meyer store brand products are :)
2. I hit a few stores each week and try and compare prices, I will update previous posts with the comparison prices
3. I think the $5 might be hard to stay under as I see the items in the week to come...this list must have been written in the 1980s, but we will try. I will find the lowest prices anyway.
