Every one of the four major supermarket chains on LI are ripoffs. I can't wait until more Shoprites pop up (Commack is opening end of this week, Uniondale in the spring, and Patchogue in the summer). Their regular prices are usually in line with everyone else, but their sales circulars are heads and shoulders above everybody else.
Target's also been pretty good now that they added meats and all that. I avoid Walmart because: one - it's not that close to me, and two - the aggravation from that place is not worth the small difference between Walmart and Target.
Same here, I'd rather lay down on Sunrise than fight the hordes at Walmart.
2 adults, 2 kids. I'd say we spend about $150 a week. mostly fish/meat, fruit, veggies, etc. some cold cuts. Cheaper in the summer bcs I get a farm share but now I'm stuck with the grocery stores and Costco.
How do you spend $90 for 4 people? I'd be interested to know. I do avoid Waldbaums and S&S except for sales, but fruit and veggies are expensive in winter. We don't eat very many packaged/frozen/prepared foods, though I will buy frozen veggies if the fresh selection is lacking.
I have done it the past few years. You get a lot of stuff and it's really good if you eat everything (kale, chard, etc). If you are picky then it's probably not a good value. I also do the fruit share. Have done it for several years now.
There is also Garden of Eve. I have not gotten anything from them recently, but back (5+ years ago) their CSA was not as good a value, though they had amazing tomatoes.
