Grocery Shopping

I do most all the grocery shopping and like every one else I have my favorite markets. Two weeks ago a friend told me about a particular store that had incredibly low prices for groceries. I was thinking it was one of these places where the saving comes if you buy in bulk, not so with this place. EXAMPLE---My previous Major Name Grocery Store charges $3.99 to $4.49 for a dozen Grade AA eggs. My NEW STORE-------$1.89 for a dozen Grade AA JUMBO eggs. Milk with old store is $3.19 Gallon--new store $1.90. Sharp Cheddar Cheese 32 oz. old store $7.49----new store $2.85.

Now that is significant savings and so it goes with the rest of their products.

They buy overstocked product from major distributors for pennies on the dollar. Folks like Dole, Hunt etc.

Locations in case anyone is interested in this:

Most of our stores are in Northern California, Washington State and Oregon. We have a few stores in Idaho, Nevada and Arizona.

No difference at all----I thought at first the items might be old and out of date, but not so. I am not on a budget, but I sure hope the un-employed and financially strapped folks learn of these stores.

If I had to pay $3.99 for a dozen eggs, I'd have a stroke!

$4.49 for a dozen eggs...that is outrageous. For that price the chickens should be organic, free range and wear little chicken pope outfits.
