Safeway at Anderson Rd is much cheaper than the nearby Giant on most items. It is clean, brightly lit, and well stocked.
The Safeway at Chesterbrook (which is an older and smaller store) often is a bit higher than the one Anderson Road.
Balducci's is most expensive in McLean. Giant is the 2nd most expensive in that area for most things.
The Lidl is the lowest cost, but selection and quality can vary from item to item at Lidl. Lidl does have very good sales volume; it is regularly quite busy.
