[quote=Anonymous]I've been regularly shopping in the DC one for several years and love it and am constantly telling people about it. Yes, the prices are generally significantly cheaper than even sales prices at mainstream places. They have an increasingly large selection of organic products. However, you do have to check the labels, especially on the prepared foods (e.g, ready to eat frozen dinners), as some of them do have large amounts of sugar/fat.

Some of my regular purchases: all kinds of cereals (Cheerios equivalent is about $2/large box), crackers, cookies, fresh pizza, peanut butter, preserves, honey, breads (again quality varies, check labels - I get the 100% whole wheat sandwich bread for $1.79, and the small, dense, german-style rye and pumpernickel), cooking oil, cheese (mostly basic things like shredded mozzeralla, but they also have a few nicer cheeses; I got a very good Vermont cheddar last time, and they have fresh mozzeralla).  All the basic produce is usually (but not always) good, and almost often much cheaper: baby carrots for 49 cents/bag, large bags of oranges and apples, cantelopes, etc.  For pasta, make sure you find the nicer made-in-Italy stuff. Small selection of flowers, but usually $3.99 for a basic bouquet.

And there's an aisle of "special purchases" - time-limited, often name brand stuff. Always fun to check it out.

I usually get around 8 very full bags for under $100. [/quote]
