Default Avoid grocery store

Avoid grocery store!!!!

Sounds silly but true.
I found that all grocery store (Safeway, Fryes and Albertson) are overpriced on almost everything. I actually get better deal at Trader Joes, Sunflower, Wild Oat and a local organic grocery store. I go to many places (4-5 everyweek) and bought where that specific item is cheaper (you just start to memorize these things). It doesn't take me much time as I know exactly what I am looking for in every place. The organic food store is at a walkable distance and the other three can be made in a circle. (thus only cost sliglthy more in gas). Beside food is much better quality....

Some deals
Organic pasta at traders Joes are 99¢ a bag
organic cereal box TJ 2,25$
Whole wheat organic flour 58¢ pound at Wildoat
organic tomato basil pasta sauce for 1,89$ TJ
pint of organic cherry tomato 1,69$TJ
etc...
Good luck
