[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whole Foods used t be way more expensive! Now at least in our area it’s cheaper than Safeway and much cheaper than our smaller regional high end grocery stores. However…this is only for produce that is in season, some basic meats, and pantry items when they are on sale. The frozen and prepared stuff and baking ingredients are far more expensive.

1. Costco for bulk items that we use frequently. I will wait for sales and buy one, two or maybe three to get through to the next sale on things like toilet paper, coffee, trash bags, laundry detergent etc. Costco milk, eggs, flour, olive oil etc is always cheaper.

2. Target or Safeway for boxed cereal but only when it is a significant sale.

3. Trader Joe’s for some frozen stuff, produce in small amounts that I plan to use immediately.

4. Whole Foods for meat and produce. [/quote]

This. WF has the same or similar prices on meat and produce but it's usually better quality. Their canned goods are slightly more expensive but cheaper than non-store-brand organic and non-gmo, which I do sometimes care about.

Stay away from their prepared foods, that's where they gouge you.

TJs has some specific stuff that is a deal. Nuts for instance are always cheaper there. Dairy (especially eggs and yogurt) often a good deal. TJs prepared foods tend to be well priced.

Other stores you have to shop coupons and sales.[/quote]
