  • Wow! (0 / 0)

    I'm sorry, but for that employee to say that Whole Foods isn't more expensive on these items is wrong -- the comparison is pretty stark!  30 cents difference on a single jar of baby food?  That really adds up when you consider how many you'll buy if you buy jar food.

    Trader Joe's is the best place to go for Envirokids and Barbara's cereals. Their boxes are bigger and less expensive.  At least they have been. I haven't been to TJs in a couple of months so I'll be curious to see if they've been able to keep their prices down.

    • I hate the way Safeway uses its Club Card (0 / 0)

      as well, a club, because prices without it are absurdly high. I avoid shopping there.

      To be fair , Pak n' Save as shown IS more expensive for their "regular" price. The club card difference is 9 cents on the small and 29 cents on the 6 oz.

      Of course, crazy frugal lefty that I am, I never bought jarred baby food. I pureed adult foods or served adult foods that are normally soft or pureed, like applesauce, mashed sweet potato, bananas, avocado, etc.

    • Hmmm (0 / 0)

      My Whole Foods is cheaper on just about everything basic.  I hit Target and Whole Foods for the vast majority.  I feed three adult males, myself, and two little girls.  Milk at Whole Foods is $3.59/gallon.  I get a 10% discount if I buy 4 at a time, bringing my per gallon price down to $3.24/gallon.

      I buy their "365" brand of things like pasta and snack foods.  In my town (Atlanta) I wouldn't buy produce anywhere else!  And our "Super Target" has lots of organic, but it's still cheaper at the WFM (I guess Target can't negotiate a better price, or they benefit from the widely held belief that big box stores are cheaper).  

      Our Trader Joe's has some O.K. stuff, but not enough of it and I never, under any circumstances buy meat there (I've had to return meat in 3 different states at that chain- VA, MO, and GA---ick, ick, ick)
