[quote=Anonymous]I shop predominately at my neighborhood Giant based on their weekly sales/coupons. I buy chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks when on sale and freeze for later. Safeway generally seems crazy expensive to me these days (and their produce and meat sections are usually unappealing) but occasionally they have good stock-up sales on pantry items bought in quantity (like 5 boxes of instant oatmeal or 6 cans of soup, which my kids eat after late sports practices). I go to Wegmans a few times a month for a few store-brand items that are high quality and reasonably priced (canned beans, pasta and pasta sauce, dairy), and Costco once a month or so for ground beef, frozen shrimp, and a few other staples.

The Aldi and Lidl closest to me are gross inside and I don't even feel like the deals are that great compared to shopping sales elsewhere. I have been to a nice Lidl but it was too small/'curated' to be a one-and-done grocery stop.

As a family of 4, our grocery + household (cleaning products, etc.) tab has been hovering around $1000/month for a while, and I've had to be increasingly diligent about sale tracking and eating from the pantry/freezer to keep it there.[/quote]
