What local grocery store has the best prices?

Which grocery store would you say offers good prices for groceries?

• Which grocery store would you saw offers good prices for groceries and why? You cannot mention a discount retailer like Target, Wal-Mart, or Meijers because all discount retailers sell more than just groceries.

• Answer:

  All retailers sell more than just groceries! What planet do you live on? Cub and Rainbow are our two primarily grocery stores. They cater to a different clientele, but both offer good prices. If there are a lot of stores in the area, the prices are generally rock bottom unless they offer a special service (like a sausage store). If there isn't a lot of stores in the area, the prices are likely 15% higher, although in very rural areas, as much as 20% (due to gas costs). What really makes a difference is what is in season and what is grown locally. In CA, the veggies were huge, gorgeous, tasty and cheap in comparison to Minneapolis. In TX, nuts and some meats were less expensive (I didn't do much shopping when I was there--pretty much just the deli and Davina's BBQ in Seguin). In Minnesota, wild rice, apples and chicken are cheap. In Massachusetts, typically sea food is cheaper (it is never cheap), as are apples.
