If you're concerned about price then why don't you shop at Walmart? You would rather pay $1 more a pound for meat that came from the same slaughterhouse regardless of what store it's retailed in?

Walmart don't play retail tricks like you're talking about. Grocery store chains like to jack up prices right before putting an item on "sale". Walmart's every day prices on most meats are lower than the sale prices of popular grocery stores. I'll never consider going anywhere other than Walmart for meat, really. Dollar rules all for me.

why buy any meat at all..just stand in line at the food bank down on skid row....take the bus a monthly bus pass is cheaper than paying for gas and insurance. why buy new clothes? can buy plenty of used clothes at goodwill.
eww new furniture? lets go down to the salvation army we can get everything for 75 percent off retail price used......why go to harvard or yale for school? we can just home school you instead....

sounds like we are living life right here.........

Bad troll. Only speak when you're spoken to.

Re: what is your average food bill a month?
 

went shopping yesterday,it used to have deals like buy 5 items save $5,now it is buy 10,save $5.
10 items dont have to be identical,but advertised as buy 10 save $5-like coffee,creamer,tomato sauce,apple sauce etc

What I found interesting is that the Dollar Stores (i.e. Dollar Tree, 99 Cent, Dollar General, etc) don't always have the lowest prices. Sometimes when comparing unit-to-cost or price per pound you can save a lot more at the big warehouse clubs (Costco, Sams, BJ's, etc) or even Walmart can beat the $1 stores.

Just stay out of stores like Whole Foods, or many of the largest chains (Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, etc) which can get you good on things to rip you off.

Somehow I think that Agent shops at the Farmers Markets. ;)

I shopped at Kroger because it is closest ,KR has been spending too much money on ecommerce,some of the items are no longer offered in store.
Their prices are higher but better quality,I know what you are talking about 99 cents only stores ,canned goods from brand names you have never heard of ,from foreign countries.
I would not buy anything I put in my mouth from those stores.
BTW,Kr MILK stay fresh after 1 month,or more,I am so shocked.
But I have been poisoned by their custard pie which they did not remove after 1 year,bagged spinach which should be recalled and Haaz Das ice cream which melt and put back into the freezer.
Other than that,I have no problem shopping at KR,I dont shop at WMT,TGT does not have much selection in fresh produce.
But going from buy 5 save $5 to buy 10 save $5 is a big change,would you agree>
what is up?,

Re: what is your average food bill a month?
 

Kroger is mostly regional, located mainly in the Central & Mid-South Regions. Out in the west we have mostly Safeway, Albertsons, Von's, Ralph's, etc.

In Texas they also have H-E-B, and it is, without a doubt one of the cleanest and most well stocked stores I have seen, despite having a lower cost than many competitors. Also I like Publix in the Southeast & Florida. It's pretty good, too.

The Walmarts here in CA are very low staffed and full of Mexicans that can't speak English, so can be challenge to get help sometimes. They also have a bad habit of stocking the shelves during business hours which blocks the aisles and makes it hard to navigate the store. Sometimes it's just faster and cheaper to go run into a Smart & Final or specialty store and pay a little more for the convenience, esp. if I'm pressed for time. That's one of the realities of living in California.

HEB is messy due to traffic and the vast selection they have to offer,some like hominy,the white corn,no one stocks it anymore,but HEB does,also some said they dont like the way they set up the aisles.
But on weekend,traffic is so dense,items sell fast so you can always count on getting produce fresh,it owns shrimp boats which catch shrimps in the Gulf,you can get fresh shrimps with heads on during season.
KR does own a local chain on the West COAST,something which sounds like Ralph's??
It also bought Harris Teeter in the south,it is a very nice store,but only active in Carolinas and neighboring states.
We have an Asian supermarket which sells grass fed beef,fresh duck eggs
