Neither of us are big eaters, and we don't eat ANY junk food - Coke, Pepsi, chips, cookies, crackers, etc. OR processed foods, due to health issues.
We buy eggs, milk, cereal, steel cut oats, bread, deli meat, cheese, frozen veggies, fresh fruit, an occasional bottle of wine, chicken and ground beef and condiments, along with paper towels, laundry detergent, and toilet paper. We do crock pot meals that last several nights. I've this month been trying to shop mostly sale items - the 2 for 1s, etc.
I just can't understand why our grocery bill for two months now - has been consistently over $900!!!!!!!!!! Never, ever did we spend more than $500 in MA and then we were buying cookies once in a while and some frozen meals.
Are we being gouged here on DI because we are a captive audience with only one grocery store here??? I've thought about shopping for one month in MP just to see, but if others are paying near this then I guess we'd better start using coupons and having my husband shop on Wed so he can get the Senior discount (5% off) at the Publix here.
I'm just flabbergasted at this bill.
Supermarket chains charge the same prices throughout their respective regions ... youll find the same prices at each store within the same chain in the metro area. they produce their
weekly flyers for all the lowcountry stores. They may carry a selection of different products given the local market... but generally not on basic stuff and not to supplant their usual products.
I just got back from a week in CT ... did some grocery shopping and found prices higher than here on almost everything.
When I shopped an Aldi the last time I was out of town on business for more than a week I wasn't impressed. It seemed like a Big Lots meets a grocery store.

No different than all the grocery stores selling things other than groceries. The quailty is good, more than affordable and partner with local resources to provide local eggs, milk and produce. The "healthier" options of snacks and GF are really good. The "german" chocolate goodies are awesome and the wine they offer is not bad either.

Trader Joes is probabaly my favorite and they have off-brands, but you really cant beat Walmart's prices, and their mobile app is amazing. Publix to me is #1 in quality, but their prices are high.
Ruffles at Publix: $4.29, full price. Ruffles at Walmart: $2.68. Even Publix's generic brand chips are more expensive. If you want fruits and speciality items like subs and chicken and sushi, do Publix or Traders. But if youre going to buy some chips, then go to Walmart.
If anyone feels theyre too good for Walmart then they need to get over themselves. You save money, and thats the #1 thing. I shop at all 3, but you cant really be picky in the grand scheme.
