[quote=Anonymous]Have been through this several times. At the end I always go back to WF.

Giant and Safeway are rarely that much cheaper than WF. And WF has better produce. Cheap produce has a limited life span whereas WF produce tends to not only taste better but last longer in my fridge. Their supply chain must be amazing.

For dry goods WF's 365 label is very competitive with other stores.

Meat at WF is better than most supermarkets. And often has sales and I'll pick up something on sale and freeze for later.

Wegmans is about the same as WF (no cheaper). Comparable quality.

Sprouts is cheaper but see comment about cheaper produce having limited life spans.

Aldi/Lidl are not stores you can plan a shop around as what is in stock is always variable.

Trader Joe's is decent for basic coffee and various things like dried fruits and nuts. That's their real virtue.

WF is also the most convenient supermarket for me and to go to the cheaper stores like Aldi/Lidl, I'd have to drive some distance. Factor the cost of gas and time.

All in all, while I can save money by shopping smartly across three or four stores, it is time consuming, and I also don't save that much money at the end of the day. I go to Trader Joe's once a month and stock up and WF the rest of the time. [/quote]
