I don't have time, energy, or mental space to do a lot of computing and comparing.

I gotcha!

I am not new to grocery shopping on a budget.  I am recently trying to pay attention to local store prices by doing the data gathering, and computing. I need a new sense of what is a best (or better) price, basically!

Some food items we do buy over and over because we eat them daily/weekly -- bagged (prewashed, etc) greens, rolled oatmeal with real maple syrup (my husband the maple syrup snob).  I'll pay more for real maple syrup although I know brown sugar or "fake" syrup is cheaper.  But I want to find the cheapest source of maple syrup, hence the price check at different stores.

Yes of course, it is cheaper to buy greens frozen (sometimes) or to buy them in a bunch and unwashed but I know that what I will cook and eat with no waste is the prewashed, bagged or clamshell kind. So that is why I looked for those prices.

We do eat french baguettes and 2 for $1 seemed like a good price for a decent produce. Wondering is a place like Costco bakery might have regularly, for cheaper?
