yeah mr veg got into into organic (aside from his weird obsession with canned soup for lunch) ...so now the routine is - farmers market in the morning, then to safeway for basics like kleenex and meat, then to the co-op for bulk grains and hippy shit and other organic whatever.
I'm trying to cut back our grocery bill, and the farmer's market has saved us about 50% compared to what the co-op was charging for most of their produce. no matter how much I would *like* to buy organic meat, meat's expensive enough as it is, so we only do organic for special occasions.
but we're spending $100-$150 a week. we don't eat out at all, we make our own lunches, make our own coffee, the whole nine. So I feel okay spending a little more here and there. I would like to spend less but I'm not stressing about that right now..and I know in the back of my mind that if I had to really slash at the bill, I could. But I still get kind of a buzz from bargains so that's where my Grocery Outlet adventures come in
my favorite thing to do in any new place I visit, or maybe just anywhere I am, is to go to a supermarket and wander the aisles
for real. it's the area with the highest-intensity of small differences.

I love grocery shopping, hate pretty much every other type of shopping
i live a block away from a 24hr supermarket and sometimes just go there at odd hours to browse for interesting stuff if I'm bored

I drive from Mississippi to Atlanta for groceries a couple of times a year. Buford Highway Farmers Market and Dekalb Farmers Market always, H-Mart in Duluth and Patel Brothers usually, Trader Joe's, Patak's Meats in Austell and Total Wines in Kennesaw (or Green's on Ponce) occasionally. Next week is my next trip.

^^this.
i don't understand when people are at grocery store listening to headphones, and not earbuds but huge noise-reduction headphones.
