[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who said whole food is cheaper than Harris’s teeter, can you share the list of things to prove it? Because each time I try whole food, I can’t find anything affordable apart from some kind of cheese.[/quote]

Sure here is what I bought from HT: RBP, English cuc, broccoli bag, tomatillo salsa, canned coconut milk, sliced almonds, sausage patties, happy heritage eggs, shredded cheddar, shallots, PT. These items were cheaper than WF when compared or on e-vic sale. For example the heritage eggs are normally $8 they were 5.97 this week so I got 3; the eggs I normally get from WF are 5.99 each. Sparkle PT were 8.99 bc I didnt feel like going to Costco.

WF list:
I buy meats at WF because I have had awful experiences with HT and Giant. If I have this experience with WF, I just submit a ticket for a refund. So the pork tenderloin may be cheaper at HT but I have gotten 2 rancid ones in the past 2 years from HT so I refuse to buy them from there anymore. Berries last longest from WF or Costco- I wont buy berries from grocery stores anymore. This is a cost savings for me because we can actually eat them vs throwing out half the pack after 2 days.

Here are some items I cost compared and WF was cheaper. Prices will be laid out as WF:HT respectively

Mason Dixie Biscuits 4.49: 5.99 (evic 4.99)
Bonne Maman 4.49: 6.99 (4.99evic)
Dorot frozen garlic 2.25:3.69 (3.00 evic)
Daves white bread 6.49:6.99
Banza chickpea pasta 4.29:4.99
Lime 0.59:0.69
Zucchini 1.99lb:2.29lb
Grass fed beef 85/15 6.99lb:8.99lb 
Asparagus 3.99lb: 4.19lb(evic 3.99lb)
Organic Banana 0.75lb:0.79lb

My local HT also doesnt regularly have red onions or SP in stock so I tend to just order those from WF because I know its in stock when I order. Same goes for Daves bread- HT is usually out so I just order from WF even when it isnt cheaper.

Wow! Thank you! I also found Lidle and Aldi are generally cheaper than closer groceries. [/quote]

Yes but I have more impulse purchases with Aldi rando isle. Lidl is too frazzled for me and the checkout process takes 30 minutes at our local store. I get almost all my canned goods and a few other items from Aldi normally but not this week. Its more of a supplement for cheaper items then a mainstay. I do check the weekly ads for fruit or veg deals. One of the things I like about grocery pickup is for the most part I get what I order. I find Aldi and Lidl dont have everything I need so I end up going to 3 stores vs 2 between HT and WF. That is fine for some weeks but not all the time. I could send my DH but he really struggles with staying to the list and will come home with 2 more meats and 3 other items that we dont need or have room for. [/quote]
