    The Price is Right?

    It's getting harder to keep our grocery spending below $20 a day.

    I actually did a comparison today to see the difference between Joe's and Whole Foods.

    Everything at Joe's cheaper
    - 2 Braeburn Apples = $0.98 vs $1.83
    - 48oz brown rice, $2.69 vs 32oz brown rice, $3.19
    - 1.23lb chicken, $5.77 vs 1.14lb chicken, $7.40

    The trick is, Joe's has pitiful produce (not even local), and is lower quality in general (their chicken is quite fatty). Not to mention they don't have a lot of what I want (canned fruit, international items). I'm not saying Joe's is bad, I love Trader Joe's, I'm just laying it out...

    Anyway... yeah.
