I’ve priced it out. Bingo is comparable with most things. NPGS can be similar as well (their meat and chicken is more expensive). Evergreen may be slightly cheaper on some things, more expensive than others.
Almost all other stores are more expensive.
If you shop deals, and supplement once in a while from bingo for the paper goods, I think it’s the same as the other stores

That is pretty interesting. I also compared prices. To me Bingo was atleast 20-30 cents cheaper per item. Plus their produce was much cheaper.

Walmart delivery for household items, Baking needs, oil
I don’t use Costco- I find it so easy to overbuy because everything looks so good/is much cheaper that I walk out with a full cart even if I only came in for a few items. For the things I really like from there, I ask a friend to purchase for me when she goes- garbage bags, parchment paper, tin foil. These are things I only need once in a few months.
Kosher stores for milk, cheese, bread, meat. |
Same about Costco- I use a family members account to order online (paper towel, diapers, plastic goods, apple sauce pouches etc).
When I walk in there I feel my money evaporate! It’s good value but I buy too much of things I don’t need.

If 600 NIS is USD 163 then groceries really seem to be through the roof. Groceries were always cheaper in the US compared to Israel. Always.
Something is wrong with America... |

What I find is the biggest money saver is stocking up on expensive products when on sale and freezing - hard cheese, chicken, groundbeef, ect.
I also stock up on staples when on sale - flour, sugar, pasta....
I also plan the menu around what is in the freezer + pantry and what is on sale. So if there is a lot of the tomatoes are on sale and the peppers are expensive, we skip peppers, and have lots of tomatoes....
If cheese isn't on sale and I have none in the freezer, I don't buy. I work with what I have and what is cheap.
