Where this price comes from
This is the default price the CrumbCounts catalog uses for bay leaves: a typical US supermarket shelf price for a standard package, converted to a price each. It is an estimate, not a measured average. Brand, store, region and package size all change what you pay, so your own receipts are the most accurate source. Conversions between cups and weight use standard baking densities.
