[quote=Anonymous]Of course I'm noticing food inflation and the rising cost of living and it's amazing how the money just disappears with little to show for it. I admittedly do most of my grocery shopping at Whole Foods and only periodically pop into the Giant for one or two items if I'm passing by the store. At first appearance they are apples and oranges. Whole Foods is lovely! Bright and clean and cheerful! Giant is not. But I can see they do have overlaps in food. However, when I look more closely at the pricing, while the Giant can be cheaper it's not necessarily that much cheaper, and not even always cheaper. Do people really save money doing most of their shop at the Giant? I get the impression if I switched to doing most of the shopping at the Giant I might, maybe, save 40-50 a week. Which isn't worth it to me, and the produce quality never looks as good or tasty either.

Have people done a smart comparison of Whole Foods versus generic supermarket stores to see if they really are that much cheaper? [/quote]
