Trader Joe's.
Used to do Shaw's + co-ops when I lived in Vermont. That was around $160 a week.
Now, in Boston, I pay about $100 total at Trader Joe's (for more groceries). 40% decrease - around $3120 per year in savings.
Random note: you can live in Boston for about the same cost as Burlington, Vermont. Something is crazy about that.
- whichdan 14y agoI love Trader Joe's, but the only one I know of is downtown. That means 20 minutes extra each way, plus a little under $4 for the T. Whole Foods is a quick ten minute walk.
- jplewicke 14y agoThere's also two in Cambridge (one by Fresh Pond and one on Mem Drive near the BU bridge) and one in Coolidge Corner in Brookline.

- graue 14y agoI've never been impressed with Trader Joe's fresh produce, though, and almost everything I buy is produce or bulk staples (rice, lentils, beans, oats). TJ's seems to specialize in frozen and snack foods.
