Ask anyone that has other options besides walmart to buy groceries and they will all tell you Walmart is the most expensive place to shop. General mechandise ~ sure but food? no way. if they are shopping there while having the ability to shop around theyre noobs or have free money and dont care.

Costco is more expensive, but their target demographic has twice the income of Walmart shoppers. Costco might actually be cheaper if you consider the quality. Still though, it's way too easy to end up with a $300 to $400 cart at Costco.

The one price I've checked lately is whole milk delivered with Instacart. It's a 2-pack of gallons for $4.50 each.

Too easy. when you get your "executive reward" check they send how much you spent during that time and there was one year... lets just say it looked like a w-2 statement.

You’re retarded and completely wrong. How did you come up with this nonsense? Piggly Wiggly and IGA are the only grocery stores that are cheaper than Walmart and it’s pretty marginal.

Pig Wig and IGA have much better food than whalemart.

It really depends on the Piggly Wiggly location who their suppliers are. A lot of them have whatever is cheapest (Great Value tier slop). IGA has a standardized supply chain and more store branded products. PW fresh groceries are where it’s at. Good eggs and produce from small farms.

Funny, I’ve done the opposite. I’ve stopped shopping at places that make me feel bad. It costs more, but my soul is worth it.

I generally try to avoid shitmart but sometimes they are the most convenient choice.

If I have to go, it's always at 6 am when they open, to avoid niggers

sensory friendly hours aka senior friendly hours. Can I hold your aarp card?

I am old, yes, that's why I avoid niggers as best I can. A lifetime of experience is very useful.
