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.

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)

I'm so suspicious of most "organic" labelling. I rarely buy organic anything at the supermarket; usually just milk. I did get spoilt in the UK, though; they have a non-profit body called the Soil Association, which spends a lot of time and effort on its organic logo. Product manufactureres apply for the right to have their logo on their packaging and the SA is really strict on examination, origin, process, the whole nine yards. It has a tremendous amount of trust and goodwill, so it was easy believing.

Class action suit for a refund, if that is the case? Start documenting your purchases now ;).

In general, I definitely trend toward skepticism, but I feel really sad about the skepticism brewing around organic agriculture. I work for an organization that manages three year-round farmers markets where about 80% of the produce sold is certified organic. The certification process is stringent and expensive. A lot of the smaller family farmers grow organically, but they skip the certification process because they can't afford it. If you want to see a one-pager about what certification entails, check out this link.

It's true that since the USDA took over setting the standards for organic certification, there have been politically motivated attempts to undermine the standards, but they remain pretty rigorous. When you purchase something that is labeled "organic," the product will also say who the certifying agent was. Oregon Tilth is one of the oldest (predating the USDA's involvement with organics), and they are a nonprofit that maintains the highest standards for organic ag.

Organic farming is very different from conventional agriculture in terms of soil conservation, biodiversity, and farmworker health. Conventional agriculture methods are absolute hell on farmworkers' health and the health of their families. This is, to me, one of the primary reasons I buy organic. It's a social justice issue.
