When you do price comparisons, Dollar General is a rip off. My local grocery store has better prices.

Walmart is cheap but I prefer to support the local grocery store and luckily, that works out since walmart is 15 miles further away.

I did make a rare trip to walmart yesterday but all I bought were a few items I can only get there.

Walmart, post Sam Walton, paved the way for all things come from China now.

I just shop the sales and am learning to cook with cheap ingredients. $8/lb is my price limit for meat.

“Walmart is cheap but I prefer to support the local grocery store...”

I really do love my Piggly Wiggly. Tuesdays is Senior Day. I consistently save $14-$16 on my trips to their store. Meat prices are high, but they are not shy about marking things down - usually 2-3$ off for chicken or chops.

Plus, the store Manager is my age, so there’s always excellent 70’s and 80’s rock on the Muzak. ;)

I’m so glad that H-E-B finally made it to the DFW area.
