costco for meats does a number on savings…. i spend about $120/week and about $300 on salmon, chicken, shrimp, scallops, and beef every 2-3 months the $120 is eggs yogurt milk juice vegetables kombucha fruit etc. salmon and chicken at costco is such a deal saver. i’d never buy else where unless i didn’t thaw that week. a piece of salmon cost $9 at giant, $7-8 at walmart or for $30 at costco get 5x as much. i’m originally from moco living in dc and my friends in grad school from all over the country rave about hmart…it’s not all that price wise…. nothing beats costco for meat at least lol

i live in ft totten by the walmart so that’s pretty decent for getting cheap produce. i’m not too far from the aldi in maryland but that’s probably kinda far from you. i’m glad to see you don’t shop at safe way bc that’s a rip off. if you can go to Aldi you will save big time! it’s just the commute that might get you…just like costco
