That's a bit of an oxymoron, and no thanks anyway.

All in all I'm fascinated with the drive/commitment to save a few bucks on grocery shopping, which for the typical American is around 9-10% of their annual earnings. I see it all the time with the comparison shoppers at Trader Joe's or Fresh Market who will ultimately decide to make a completely different trip to another store investing gas money and time to "save" few dollars. Instead of worrying and having a hissy fit about something costing $1.00 a pound more at Store "A" versus Store "B" it would seem the larger picture of where other money within the budget was being spent (like the on latest i-Phone and/or every tier of cable/internet service), versus for instance something not pumped full of antibiotics, growth hormones and pesticides in it's production could/would matter more in terms of one's long term health and well-being...or simply just being done with it at Store "A".

If you use a package of Hebrew National Hotdogs as a cost basis at every store you will have your answer.
