[quote=Anonymous]I (DH) do most of our grocery shopping. Giant is cheaper than TJ and WF overall. However, I also buy stuff on sale and Giant has better and more frequent sales. For example, I'll only buy avocados if they're on sale, and it's $1/each at Giant, and rarely that cheap at the others (also TJs has poor produce selection). Same with OJ, cheese, etc. Get it on sale. Then, I throw a few coupons in the mix and we save 25% off our bill at each Giant visit. I spend no more than 10 mins a week clipping coupons from Sunday's paper, and it's while DD is playing with the coupon pages I'm not using (scattering them around).

I cook at least half our dinners while DW is getting DD to bed. For meals, if I decide on fish, then it's whatever fish is on sale that week, and same with chicken or beef. I choose the cut that's on sale, and work with that. For DD, I'd say about 50-75% of her stuff we get organic, but sometimes it's difficult to find.

Giant gives you those "total saved this year" at the bottom of each receipt. I think we saved $1500 last year, for a family of 3 and DD wasn't even born yet for half of last year.

I only go to WF if there's a special produce item that Giant is sold out of (baby bok choy for example).

TJ I really dont' see the appeal. Most of their "good" stuff is the frozen and otherwise processed food. Their produce selection is very poor, and same with fresh meat/fish selection. [/quote]
