They didn’t even look at the Latino Stores like Mega Mart and LA Mart. You can buy a lot stuff for much cheaper than these other places. It also falls like HMart that if you buy certain items that caters to their customers you can have even more savings. But the international markets tend to have lots of Meat options and at a cheaper price.

Avoid Meridian, the people are great but the company they sell your mortgage is terrible. Within one year, they miss calculated my taxes, they charged them twice. I had to do their work by going on the Baltimore City website and see the correct taxes on my property. After that it took them 3 months to recalculate my monthly payments, and I am still fighting to get the over payment they automatically took.

​

See if you qualify for a Credit Union like Pen Fed and then get something competitive like Rocket Mortgage and make them match Rocket. Get at-least 3 and make them fight for it.

I think it all depends. The big value stores like costco and Bjs have great value if you have a big family. Then you can go to the grocery stores to buy the small or very perishable items. Sprouts has great Proteins and fruits you just need to know what your buying. Harris Teeter also has good proteins and some good value in fruits. Best value is a mix of stores if you have the time. And then Aldis , bro/cousin trader joe’s is great too for snacks , pastas indulgences.
