[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Bethesda.  The cheapest near me is the Shoppers in White Flint.

What I do is once a month, I drive up 270 to the Wegmans in Germantown.  The prices of staples make it worth it.  For example a 32oz tin of Folgers is 8.99; last time I bothered to check at Giant, it was 12.99.  Tutti Rossi 28oz canned tomatoes are 2.19 at Giant; Wegman has them for .99.  I dont remember the exact price, but regular skim milk is around a buck cheaper at Wegmans.  I also love the way the meat comes shrink wrapped individually in the big family packs.  I can toss the whole thing in the freezer, and just cut off what I need as I go.  No muss, no fuss, no having to break stuff up and repackage it into freezer bags.

Also, if you sign up for their rewards thing, they mail you coupons every month.  Even if there's nothing else I can use, there's always a $5 off a $25+ purchase for every week in the month.[/quote] if you in Bethesda, check your free paper, the Gazette, I gran a couple every Wednesday from paper stand. There is Harris Teeter q $10/50. It can be used in Giant or Harris Teeter. 
Both Giants and HT accept competitors qs, so you can use Wegmans 5/25 qs and occasional Shoppers 10/50 qs (attached the front page of Wash post quite often).
I don't clip papers coupons, but those total purchase coupons are really help to keep the cost of grocery down.[/quote]

My problem with Giant and Safeway is that their meat sucks.  I've had meat at Safeway that I bought on a Thursday afternoon start smelling off by the time I'm ready to cook dinner on Friday.  Every time I buy beef at Giant it'll be beautiful and pink on the outside only to be old and brown in the middle.  And don't ever buy any meat from Giant with a "Save $X.00 Today!" because it's always something that needs to get tossed by the end of the day.  I fell for it and my husband was up all night with diarrhea.

I've been to the Harris Teeter off of Rockville Pike, but I didn't find it that much cheaper and Shoppers is closer.  I'll keep the coupon tip in mind though for when the HT they're putting in that new building on Wisconsin opens up.  [/quote]
