The average cost of 5 pounds of granulated sugar in the eastern United States is about $2.20. It truly depends on the area in which you live, which store you purchase it from, and whether it is on sale. I have discovered that the local "dollar stores" sell granulated sugar at a lower price in the local grocery stores.
Why don't you count them yourself and find out? LOL
One pound of dry weight is equal to 16 ounces, or 4 cups.

It depends on how much granulated sugar you have. Also, sugar granules come in different sizes so you cannot measure the mass of a single granule.

One cup of granulated sugar is equal to approximately 1 3/4 cups of packed powdered sugar.
No... Powdered sugar is icing sugar. Granulated sugar is white sugar that is in granules. Chemically they are identical. The difference is in the physical structure. You can create your own powdered sugar by using a blender and granulated sugar. It won't be as fine, but it will be closer.

Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where powdered sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
Organic sugar and granulated sugar is not the same thing
Confectioners sugar (also called Powdered sugar) differs from "regular sugar" (Granulated sugar) in two ways. Confectioners sugar it's milled to a much finer grain and, and it has cornstarch in it to prevent caking. If you run of of Granulated sugar, you can substitute with Confectioners sugar. Multiply the amount of granulated sugar needed by 1.75. It takes 1 3/4 cup of powdered sugar to substitute for 1 cup of granulated sugar.
According to the USDA nutrient database, granulated sugar has 99.8% sugar while brown sugar has 97% sugar. The difference is partly due to the moisture content of brown sugar; it contains more water.
You use granulated sugar unless otherwise noted.
Cornstarch is added to confectioners (powdered) sugar to prevent the sugar from lumping, so the amount is quite minimal. And adding cornstarch to granulated sugar isn't what makes it confectioners sugar. Confectioners sugar is much finer and softer than granulated sugar, it has a texture much like that of cornstarch. So you would have to be able to grind granulated sugar into a very fine powder in order to make it like confectioners sugar.
