Are the prices better for these things at Bingo?

I like to do my Jewish shopping when I visit Brooklyn but none of my usual stores have the things I want on sale. That's unusual, usually I go wherever the sales are best. First of all, is that an economy thing, are sales just less interesting lately or is it a coincidence that I'm coming on a dull week?

Secondly, here's my shopping list, will Bingo have significantly better prices on any of this stuff? Because going to such a big store plus the location will make it take more time so I want to know if it's worth it.

Plastic bowls, plates, spoons
Chicken leg/thighs
Chicken cutlets (I do like to pay a little more for a brand that's "cleaner," but not a lot more)
Frozen broccoli and cauliflower (the Jewish brands that are certified bug-free)
Pizza cheese

That's what usually adds up to the most cost. Everything else I'm assuming will be about the same wherever I go. But if anyone knows what their specials are this week and can share, that would be great.

Thanks!

Their frozen vegatables are usually cheaper too.
Cheeses they have different ones on sale at diff times.

Unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, the deals aren't so great anymore.

Thank you Dankbar!
I made a membership card last time I was there like 2-3 years ago and for sure don't know where it is anymore. Can I use my phone number or something to sign in?

I dont know how you sign in. They now have handheld devices for members to self check out.

The prices on basic food items went up drastically recently all over.

I looked there before coming here and they don't have Bingo. But that's how I knew the other stores don't have my things on sale.

Just go to the customer service in the store and they’ll be able to help you with your card.

Yep! We go there all the time after my husband comes home.
They usually have the specials in magazines I believe but I’m not 100000% sure. I’m probably mixing up stores.
How do you sign up for the membership?

Don't expect prices to be as you remember them. But those items are generally better priced at Bingo.
