I usually buy sides and vegitables at Food Lion (much cheaper) for meats and seafood Safeway is always best. If you go the the PF Food Lion, go early and you can get better meats if you want to buy them there, plus the cashiers are a lot nicer. If you go in the afternoon, there is a cashier that will scare you to death with her teeth and she chews gum, (not very conducive to buying food). :barf:

Giant is high, you can get great deals at Safeway. On Sunday I bought a 4 pack of steaks at Safeway for 14 bucks, I thought they would be tough, we used two, put two in the freezer for another meal, they were so tender we used what was left for steak and mushroom omlets the next morning. Plus we still have the two in the freezer for possibly two more meals, not bad for 14 bucks.

Milk is like gas, something they know we've got to buy.

Unreal. I was at Bob Evans and they have those books. Things that were going on the year you were born. Milk was about super cheap the year I was born, I'm sure gas was really cheap too, I didn't want to look because I would get too depressed. :bawl:

A few weeks ago, I bought some tilapia filets from Safeway. I got home and found out my step-children would be here for dinner. I asked my husband to stop by Giant on his way home to pick up a few more filets. The ones from Giant were three times the size as the ones from Safeway. I've never had good luck with Safeway's meat selection either. :shrug:

I like Safeway for the $0.10 off a gallon if you spend $50 bucks. It's really the only reason I shop there...I don't know much about the meat at any of those places though. I know a bunch about my meat though...(I couldn't resist!) :lmao:

I only go into PF Food Lion to buy the Mary Jane and Friends bread. That is the best bread ever - hands down! Unfortunately, Food Lion is the only one that sells it (and K-mart, but I try to avoid that place too since it seems every time I go in there, I have to get a price check on something - whatever it is - the smallest item - and they never give you sale price at the register).

I've heard the same thing about Giant and Safeway as far as prices. I've shopped in both and thought that they were similar in quality. I've never really paid that close attention to the actual prices since I try to buy everything on sale. I have compared their sale ads side-by-side and they will pretty much match each other on prices except for the random $1.00 here or there difference. I've been a die-hard Giant shopper for quite a while. However, I have noticed that my shopping trips at Giant are costing me more and more.

I think this week I will try Safeway and see how I do there.
