I am trying to buy as little as possible without paying a lot more. I used to do all my grocery shopping at the super center. I checked at Winn Dixie and unfortunately they were high. I did find a good deal on a chuck roast tho.
I am going to start buying beef there but for canned and boxed essentials WalMart is cheaper, often much cheaper.
I find that the grocery stores run specials on canned goods and I buy them at that point whether I need them are not same with soup I buy soup when it’s cheap canned goods when they’re cheap and on sale
Food Lion has the best produce...much better than WM produce. Price is competitive.
We have either HEB (a Texas chain grocer) or Walmart in the whole county. Our HEB stocks the rejects from other stores, ugh. As a result it will have empty shelves or an entire aisle of mustard so the grocery list is never all purchased. The family is always asking why I didn’t get xyz. Hey, welcome to the US version of Venezuela. It’s prices are cheaper than Walmart so I’ll buy canned goods but will drive 3 towns over to Walmart for fresh produce.
Sadly, Walmart doesn’t have reduced to sale that day on their meats anymore. I now have to watch for meat sales at HEB but the meat counter is teeny tiny and hardly ever has more than 2-4 packages each on the very basic cuts. I have to make them go to the back for more meat and dairy. They did have chuck roasts for $2.99 most of the summer so filled the freezer with those. I did happen to catch a couple of manager specials recently on sausage for 50 cents/lb. so grabbed as much as they’d let have. Now, it’s back to 50 cent/lb bags of chicken quarters.
