[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are spending minimum $100-$120 per week only on fruits and vegetables per week. Does not include packaged snacks, meat or other items. Just fresh produce aisle at the grocery stores. We are not an organic-only family. We shop at miscellaneous places - Costco, Whole Foods, Safeway being the primary ones.

Where do you shop if you are spending less than this on a family of 4 only on fresh produce? [/quote]

1. Don’t shop at Safeway. Even the sales are bad. They will raise prices and then do a sale which is more expensive than another store but seems like a great deal because they acclimated you to a higher price. 
2. You can use the store apps/websites to price compare. For Costco, keep in mind the delivery price you see is more expensive as it adds in delivery expense across items.
3. Alternate frozen and fresh depending on season and sales.
4. Consider Asian markets for vegetables. 
5. Pick a price point per lb that you won’t go over. Make a list for the following week. 
6. This really depends on your family but you can reduce variety or reduce portions. [/quote]
