I’m fascinated when people do the bulk of their shopping at the Jewish stores, unless they are still learning kashrut and Shoprite is overwhelming, or they bill about at >$250 an hour and really don’t have time but have money to burn.

I guess thats the reason my grocery shopping could reach to $700+ weekly with family of 7 kh. We dont use OU for these bssic stuff. Good for all of yous who could save some money and get there stuff at cheaper prices.

For those of us that keep pas yisroel, chalav yisroel and bishul yisroel, it's very hard to do a proper shopping in Walmart or Aldi. It would mean making separate grocery runs which takes a lot more time and gas. I buy everything in my local supermarket besides for some essentials that I order on walmart.com

I'm in the same boat, can you share what you buy online?

Most the items written here

Flour
Sugar
Oil
Oats
Vanilla
Applesauce
Non wheat cereals
Raisins
Non stick spray
Some spices
Cocoa
Baking soda / baking powder
Yeast
Ketchup
Mayo
Mustard
Probably more but I can't think of any

It does save a lot of money but logistically it's hard, especially if you don't have space to have extra things on hand and you buy as you need, those 3 days til Walmart delivers and you don't have mayo aren't always practical.

I'm not sure where you live, I'm part time in Brooklyn and Lakwwood. I've been trying out Target's and Shoprite but I find the prices comparable or sometimes cheeper at Bingo's Rosner's etc...
I needed some cleaning products and toiletries and Targets was not cheeper on any of it
What am I missing?

I buy:
produce (I check my own lettuce)
pasta
egg noodles (they don't have fine, I get that at kosher stores)
pasta sauce
pizza sauce
tomato sauce
applesauce (jars, small cups, pouches)
canned beans (kidney beans, chickpeas, green beans, corn - we hold that's not a problem for bishul)
ketchup
mustard
barbecue sauce
mayonnaise
salad dressing
peanut butter
jelly
instant mashed potatoes
salt and spices
taco shells
vinegar (white, apple cider)
olive oil
rice (jasmine and sticky)
quinoa
couscous mix
frozen fruit (mango, peaches, blueberries, cherries)
frozen vegetables (green beans, mixed vegetables)
freeze pops
puff pastry (pepperidge farms)
rhodes dough (good backup for challah, also use for doughnuts)
pizza dough

sugar (white, brown, confectioners)
honey
cocoa
pie filling (cherry, apple, blueberry)
duncan hines cake mixes
frosting
decorating icing
fluff
juice (apple, orange, cranberry-raspberry)
bottled water
snapple
soda
seltzer
tea bags

coffee
eggs
almond milk
soy milk
margarine (tubs and sticks)
