Grocery Prices

[tlf]

Hey all,

I haven't really ventured over to this part of the forum, but with our season over, why not?

I am currently looking for better grocery prices..since Safeway isn't the best but I live right by one so it's super convenient.

Where does everyone shop to afford better/cheaper groceries? CLearly Save on is out, since despite it's name is awful for prices. I am near downtown, but am open to suggestions. There is just me and my pup, but i do Costco, but not often.

Any suggestions are welcome..Thanks!

Walmart and Superstore. I only pickup beef liver at Safeway, and that's because we know the butcher and he cuts it fresh.

We do Superstore via the PC Express app. We also have a PC credit card linked so you get good cashback for groceries and gas at their Mobil stations, and the best feature of all: free unlimited delivery when you use that card. The app makes it easy to compare prices, get unit pricing and nutrition info. I have 3 young kids and the wife and I both work full time so we basically have zero time to shop the old fashioned way. This helps.

We also have a Walmart app for smaller midweek shops. With the annual fee you get the app, delivery, and a Crave subscription thrown in so it's decent value.

Of course, the short answer to all this is to simply stop eating because grocery prices are simply insane today. I miss beef.

Weirdly, picked up a few small Australian rib eyes at Save On.  They looked really nice and weren't bad price.  And another 4 for $20 deals, with $2off tags on 2 and $4off tags on 2, super deals.

Bought a "Too Good to Go" bakery pack from Save On Foods bakery ($4.99) and Superstore Prepared foods ($11.99), got 4 packages of bakery buns (2 baps, 1 cheese, 1 hotdog) and a calabrese bread, and the superstore pack had a ham/cheese wrap, a loaded chimichuri beef bowl and 6 rotisserie dark meat chicken quarters.

Had the wrap for lunch, made the chicken quarters into a huge pot of soup, will have the chimichuri for tommorrow lunch, and made the calabrese bread into garlic bread.

Spent the evening in the kitchen, house smells great.

I keep trying to buy what I want and not look at the price, but my mom conditioned me too well as a child to always shop the deals.
