[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should buy your oatmeal at Lidl. Or Aldi. Or even bulk at Mom's.

Agree that this is a strange list. You can probably do better at Lidl with the organic dairy products, too.[/quote]

Do you keep a price book?  That's what I am looking for -- people in DC who actually keep records of what they pay per ounce or pound for food who have data to compare with.[/quote]

Ground beef should start with a 2.  We stock up on chicken at .99/lb but will buy it under $1.49.  Pork sausage more like $2.49/lb.  Pork shoulder at $1.49/lb (used to see it below a dollar occasionally, but times have changed).  Mangos - only in season for money and price and taste reasons.

If you care about organic get butter, milk, eggs at Costco.  Butter we stock up on sale and freeze.

I don't buy many of the things you've listed (oat milk, baguettes, multiples of maple syrup) so I can't help you there.

The other thing is, once you've figured out where prices should be, figure out what store is doing well for most of your staples and just shop there.  We use the Safeway loyalty card and get about $15 off every other month just from racking up points, in addition to the sales and the "personalized pricing" - they even lower prices on the produce that we buy for us.[/quote]

Thank you![/quote]
