I'm blessed with numerous grocery options with in minutes of our home. The place I shop 90% of the time is Freddys and it's 2 miles away. They have the best prices to go along with their extensive natural/organic section. We don't do Wal-Mart and haven't for many years. We also have 3 local grocers with in 2 miles that I like to support when I can. One of them is Harvest Foods which is where I buy our Spokane Family Farm whole milk. I can get it at other places, but HFs offers a Buy 10, Get 1 Free punch card, so I say "Why not?"
About 3 miles east of here is a URM Cash n Carry, but I haven't been there in ages. They aim to sell to companies/restaurants so their stock is mostly bulk...huge bulk. Another Cash n Carry is down the road the other way and I've never been, though I suspect it's about the same. Another avenue is Grocery Outlet, which generally sells 'about to expire' groceries. I plan to check them out this week to see what they have and determine if it's worth making a monthly trip or so. They offer a wide range of products and are starting to offer natural/organic groceries which is a plus :)
Have you tried any of these types of grocers? If so, what are the pros/cons?
I love Grocery Outlet! We have those here in California and the prices can't be beat.
