Grocery oops

[MDPhDWife]

Mrs K, after seeing your post, I'm convinced we are kindred spirits when it comes to not just grocery shopping but shopping in general. 😄.

Our Walmart produce is bad, I mean barely worth buying most of the time. Target is helpful for some items we regularly buy plus the 5% discount I can save a good sum of money. Our grocery challenge is actually being home to cook.

Our local Walmart has FABULOUS produce, which shocked the shit out of me when we moved here. I think they realized there was NFW locals would buy any if they didn't make it decent. Living in the middle of farmland means we have access to some really great, fresh food at several local farm stands, farmer's markets, and local grocers.

Ours is gross, too. Like, if most of the fruit isn't moldy on the shelf, it will be within a day or two of buying it. We just have a regular Target, so their groceries are pretty limited. When we lived in a bigger town, I bought all my groceries there; they had the best quality besides Whole Foods. Kroger in the town next to mine is our best source here.

I've found that the best quality and cheapest produce is at our health food store.

Ours has amazing produce, too, but it's wildly overpriced. Especially considering that we can get the same exact produce by going to the farm store and pay about half what the hippie food store charges.

Those prices, mrs k!!!

Holy moly, that's incredible. I loathe Walmart though so I just can't. I am super impressed with you!

FYI, this week, I spent $79 on groceries. There was not any meat on sale so I paid full price for a family pack of chicken legs which will be two meals. On the way out, cashier whispered to me that milk is on sale super cheap (like $2.50/gallon) at Price Chopper every Monday, not advertised so not matched. Now I know that buying milk at price chopper on Mondays will be part of my new routine.

And I just got $0.37 back using the Walmart savings catcher app.

We pay $6/gallon of milk. Our Food Lion and Walmart have moldy produce and I try to buy organic milk when I can.

Wow, I'm so impressed with you MrsK!

[diggitydot]

Please tell me that's organic milk.

[spotty_dog]

I paid $4.19 for a 1/2 gallon of organic milk this week. Fortunately we need less than a 1/2 gallon per week!

Oh man. I should not have read this thread.

Milk-- cheapest I've seen is $5.30 NF at Costco for one gallon. Prices were high in northern CA too. I bought one gallon for $1.99 on my last visit to Yakima, so that was something. Ground beef-- cheapest here is nearly $4 a pound!!!!!!! Ground beef!!!! Taco Tuesday is coming less frequently lol.

Anyway I can't do walmart. I actually hate walking in there. It's not a union thing, or a slave labor thing, it's an aesthetic thing. Walmart overwhelms me with all the stuff in the aisles and the people every frickin place.

Oh another bonus of island life:: the GET. We get to pay 4.715% on everything. Including groceries. 👎

[diggitydot]

Holy shit. The most I've paid for a gallon of milk in the last two years has been $3.58/gallon.

[TulipsAndSunscreen]

$6 is organic. On sale it would be $5.
