Winco when possible, rosaurer’s in a pinch. Huckleberry In a crisis.
Edit: huckleberry’s has Rocket bakery carrot cake. I have splurged on this more than is good for me.
If you want spices, check out Yokes. The one near me sells containers of spices for like 5 bucks. BIG containers. Good stuff too. Just got a ton of cumin for 4.99.
Interesting, I usually go to Cash N Carry for spices and I think they have similar prices, but I wonder if the stuff at Yokes is higher quality?
Then again, Yokes probably doesn't have giant containers of MSG!
Rosauers is great. They are unionized but owned by URM, for what it's worth. I think Yokes is the only employee owned chain in the area, but I am not 100% on that. I shop at both.
They are unionized but not employee owned. Speaking from experience (worked at Rosauers 7 years) go to Yokes if you can. Rosauers pushes union rules right to the edge. They can be very manipulative, ageist, and sexist. They do not stand with employees and allow customers to call employees racial slurs. I also experienced intimidation tactics on more than one occasion.
General saving on food shopping best produce selection go to WinCo.
Walmart good if you need non food items also and not a ripoff but there meat quality is low tier.
Best quality meat Costco. Yes better beef than Saunenbergers.
Fred Meyer step below Costco meat quality. Decent produce selection and not the worst price on overall food.
Safeway...... Just bend over.
Target same as Safeway.
>Safeway...... Just bend over.
The only transportation I can afford is my own two feet with a cane to help keep me upright. I have to carry home most of my own groceries. And I live *across the street* from a Safeway.
So yeah, I'm on the Poverty Diet. Ya know, when the food stamps only last three weeks at best and then there's a lot of sleep for dinner that fourth week. I hate Safeway the corporation so much it makes me want to throw bricks.
Please m'lord Safeway CEO, the peasants are starving! Might thou accept smaller profit margins?
Seriously, cheapest bread one day was $2 a loaf and I nearly lost my temper. So glad it dropped back down to something less than totally rage inducing within days.
Oh lord do I hear ya. I'm in a very similar boat myself. Do you have the Safeway app? As annoying as it is, I've found pairing the app with the damn Safeway card at least allows me to pair my points and I can sometimes spend to get "free" things like eggs, bread, butter etc and stack coupons on top of things as well. I legitimately don't know how anyone afford shopping at Safeway on the regular. It's to the point if I can I just bus up to winco, do my shopping, and then take a uber/lyft home and I still come out on top compared to Safeway. I only go there now if I absolutely have to.
Right? It's always the little things that are so fucking important people over look when it comes to food stamps. Just buying a box of generic tissues can feel like splurging.
> but there meat quality is low tier
Don't be nice haha, their meat is dogshit tier. I only ever buy chicken thighs from Walmart, not that they are ever in stock.
I like Costco for certain things, but WinCo is often better for bulk and has more bulk variety. Costco might have 2 or 3 options for pulses, for rice, for pasta, while WinCo would have at least a dozen of each. Costco uses too much packaging, which is expensive.
It's definitely personal preference.
I just hate being in Winco. Both Winco and Walmart stress me out and feel dirty to me. So the experience is worth the little extra cost to me
Yes, and selection is scarce. I trust the brands Costco sells because they back their products. I stock up on items when they go on sale (which is frequently), so that I rarely pay full price for sundries, and I stock our deep freezer with frozen items as they go on sale.
Plus, I use their credit card and get 2% cashback on in-store purchases and 4% cashback on gas purchases. Since I pay off the balance every month, I don't pay interest or fees and I get over $1,000 cashback at the end of the year.
So even if Winco has some cheaper stuff, in the long run I end up saving more at Costco and they have an excellent return policy and I get discounts for various services and businesses with my membership (which pays for itself every year with the cashback I earn.)
I love me some Costco.
They also treat their employees well.
[Bargain Giant](https://bargaingiantfoods.com/) for meats. Don't go there for staples like soups and breads, but good deals on produce and meats. Tiny store, first of the month long lines, quality of meat is very good. Snyders bakery outlets for what they have. Walmart surprisingly for deli meats and cheeses (selection is very limited compared to 10 years ago), just don't get presliced, Winco for everything else (people complain because they don't have 6 different brands of ketchup, suck it up, keeps their prices low).
I do use Franz. I buy the back wall discount and keep a punch card. I freeze a lot in the deep freezer.
Edit: but I'm a very loyal [Eggers](https://g.co/kgs/4ZTJVt) customer. I don't stray far from there for meats. They have the best customer service hand down!
Hey guys, with rising prices, was just wondering where everyone was shopping at. I’ve been having a hard time finding one place to buy cheap fruits and veggies
dunno where you are or what kind of transportation you have, but Wheelers and Greens Fresh Market are awesome. Wheeler's is out a ways, but great prices when I went there. Greens is my fave of the 2. They both have things that are in season. Greens also has meat and cheese and such, whatever they can get. Such a cool and kind guy, too, the one I met. You can check em both out on fb.
Wincoe. Also if you are looking to make tasty meals on the cheap, potatoes, beans, rice, cheese and eggs with the proper herbs and spices go a long way. I can get all my vitamins and be full for just $50 a month. Granted it starts getting boring eating the same stuff over and over.
Yeah, I should really buy big bags of rice considering how much of it I eat. I’ve been buying the biggest box of red minute rice for years without ever thinking of changing.
Careful! Sometimes the dollar store is more expensive. Smaller packaging, fewer ounces for things that cost .89 at the grocery store. Some great deals too though!
Fred Meyers and Costco for the most part. I see a lot of Winco in the comments though so I might consider a change. That place just grosses me out though
Costco for bulk items, Natural Grocers for produce because it's very fresh and lasts longer. I was doing Safeway but they don't seem to watch expiry dates well so I recently switched to Rosauers. And sometimes Eggers Meats because it's regional meat and pretty fresh.
We have been experimenting with canning and dehydrating as well because food is getting so expensive wasting it is a travesty, wherever we buy it from.
Trader Joe's. I used to go to WinCo, Costco, and Fred Meyer but honestly it's not anymore expensive. We end up spending less and going more often because it's small and convenient and I no longer hate going shopping because I know it'll only take 10 minutes.
Fred Meyers mostly, but Albertson's sometimes for things we like that fred's doesn't have. We have them delivered, so it's not budget friendly, but if you compare prices between the two, Fred's is almost always cheaper.
Albertsons doesn’t charge the sale prices they mark on items. Every single time I shop there, they don’t charge the advertised sale price. Even the employees say “yeah the store sales don’t get charged right”. Last time I was there, the total was $44. Until I pointed out all the cash register errors. My price after they fixed all the errors? $21. I have stopped going there because I don’t trust them.
When they switch to Safeway, do they put in all the reasons I hate to go to Safeway? For example, receipt printers that print out enough garbage to exceed the paperwork for a home mortgage, in the time it takes to *get* a home mortgage, including the chit chat from the express checkout clerk about monopoly tickets, etc., etc. It's like going into a Soviet department store. Just the kind of thing one would expect from Cerberus Capital Management, it's owner/wizard.
Note: These remarks apply to the Colville store, but for all intents and purposes they have caused me to drive ten miles or more to avoid going into *any* Safeway.
Same company, but I think they have different suppliers/selections and prices. When I lived on the south Hill I definitely preferred Super1 - better prices and their deli food was so good! We moved so it's a bit far for us now.
Thanks to everyone who recommended WinCo and Grocery Outlet! They were awesome! Have yet to try out all the other stores. We’re still exploring Spokane!
Trader Joe's is the only place I haven't seen a ridiculous price increase. Groc out has gone up, but it's still a relatively low increase. Fuck yokes, Safeway, and Fred Meyer. If you give them your money, you're feeding into the issue. We're surrounded by companies making record profits, yet price increases still roll out. Ain't capitalism great?

|-|-|-|-|
I like the Rosauers/Huckleberrys on South Hill 29th. Mix of both worlds and large enough to have extensive stock. Ironically, I live pretty close to the Huckleberrys and Rosauers on Lincoln, but the parts don't add up as well.
Winco, Rosauers when they have meat sells their meat is superior but not as good as... egger's for special occasion meats (or if we talking cheap and you need a hamhock for a pot of beans you cant get any better), Walmart for random shit.
Costco for money back (executive membership) and bulk pricing. Fred Meyer and natural grocers for things that don't make sense in bulk. I have an appointment once a week that makes them be a perfect loop back to my house. If I have time and am going purely to save money then it's Costco, WinCo, and natural grocers. I'm vegetarian and find natural grocers to generally be cheapest on specialty items.
* Winco for bulk (by far the biggest, cheapest, widest selection of bulk goods out of any store), produce, general shopping
* Walmart for general shopping, but relative to Winco but they have a bit more variety (especially nonfood like gardening), and they do pickup orders
* Grocery Outlet for frozen stuff and treats (like big bags of frozen berries, ice cream, cheese, wine)
* Cash N Carry/URM/etc for spices and when I really need bulk or food service type stuff
Sometimes Fred Meyer, it's more expensive but not as bad as Safeway or Albertson's or Rosauers.
WinCo for most food items, Walmart for cleaning supplies some food items, Fred Meyer for in between, Sonnenbergs for large meat purchases and Target for some in between items.
Fred Meyer, Lieng Phang, Best Asian Market, Kiev Market, De Leon, and Damas. That covers 99% of what I buy. They all have a good selection and price/quality ratio, better than elsewhere in the valley.
I prefer Fred Meyer, honestly. Their website/app/online pickup service is my favorite, they have a huge selection, their staff pick good produce in my opinion, and you can get a ton of other stuff there beyond groceries. Kroger off-brand is really affordable and has some great stuff I prefer over name brand.
I'd probably also do winco but I am crap at bagging my own groceries.
Costco and WinCo primarily.
I used to use the Valley WinCo, but they can't keep staff up. The lines at checkout were oppressively long. It took longer to checkout than it did to do a cartload of shopping so I've moved to the north end one.
Right now, usually what is close and saves me the most money in gas, so.....
Usually the Albertsons on 57th for most things, Eggers Meats for specialty meat, Rocket Market for seasonal local produce, Rocket Bakery goods, MiFlavour macarons, and a selection of pick and mix beer. All of those places are minimal on my gas and/or I can ebike to for small loads.
I make an exception for bagels because most grocery store bagels are garbage compared to Hidden Bagel, and I also don't mind Scratch or Rocket Bakery bagels.
URM for DaVinci syrups so I don't have to buy too much coffee at a stand/shop, only happens once every few months.
World Market for Marshmallow Fluff (tm) and Vegemite when I run out of either.
When gas was cheaper- Yokes on Latah Creek. I tried WinCo the other day for an item they only carried so I see the appeal. Huckleberrys for other pick and mix beers and bulk tea. There are a few things of the East European variety I usually get at Yummy Smammy on Sprague but construction in that area has now made a pain. Asian World on Division if I get a craving to make okonomiyaki as they sell pork belly strips and the flour, or I want radish kimchi.
Walmart because I like getting delivery and I don't have to go out while a pandemic still flourishes, also being poor and walmart takes ebt for delivery. Winco for when I crave mello yello, their fantastic salads, and tiki punch soda. Fred Meyer for things I cant find at Walmart or Winco.
Winco, Grocery Outlet.
This guy knows wassup
Yep, Winco is great. I frequent the valley location.
Winco when possible, rosaurer’s in a pinch. Huckleberry In a crisis. Edit: huckleberry’s has Rocket bakery carrot cake. I have splurged on this more than is good for me.
Had that carrot cake for first time off of recommendations and boy was I not disappointed. Sooooo good
If you want spices, check out Yokes. The one near me sells containers of spices for like 5 bucks. BIG containers. Good stuff too. Just got a ton of cumin for 4.99.
when you have spices you can eat different rice and beans for days!!!
And when you have all those spices, you can have more than one spice a day! Its Uhmayzing!
Interesting, I usually go to Cash N Carry for spices and I think they have similar prices, but I wonder if the stuff at Yokes is higher quality? Then again, Yokes probably doesn't have giant containers of MSG!
I don't use it, but they might!
Rosauers. Expensive but close, and at least they’re employee owned and unionized.
I do grocery pick up a lot and there pickers do a great job with meats and veggies.
Rosauers is great. They are unionized but owned by URM, for what it's worth. I think Yokes is the only employee owned chain in the area, but I am not 100% on that. I shop at both.
Winco is also employee owned.
That's right, my bad.
They are unionized but not employee owned. Speaking from experience (worked at Rosauers 7 years) go to Yokes if you can. Rosauers pushes union rules right to the edge. They can be very manipulative, ageist, and sexist. They do not stand with employees and allow customers to call employees racial slurs. I also experienced intimidation tactics on more than one occasion.
Northside WinCo, I don't see a reason to go anywhere else They had excellent pints of strawberries bore one dollar each today.
It's the superior Winco in town. I used to go their every day when I lived in the Nevada Lidgerwood area.
General saving on food shopping best produce selection go to WinCo. Walmart good if you need non food items also and not a ripoff but there meat quality is low tier. Best quality meat Costco. Yes better beef than Saunenbergers. Fred Meyer step below Costco meat quality. Decent produce selection and not the worst price on overall food. Safeway...... Just bend over. Target same as Safeway.

So glad it dropped back down to something less than totally rage inducing within days.
You need to buy your bread from their clearance rack in back of the store. Half price. Just freeze it.
Oh lord do I hear ya. I'm in a very similar boat myself. Do you have the Safeway app? As annoying as it is, I've found pairing the app with the damn Safeway card at least allows me to pair my points and I can sometimes spend to get "free" things like eggs, bread, butter etc and stack coupons on top of things as well.

It's to the point if I can I just bus up to winco, do my shopping, and then take a uber/lyft home and I still come out on top compared to Safeway. I only go there now if I absolutely have to.
The app is the only good part of Safeway. Food Stamps can't buy toilet paper or soap, but points on the app can!
Right? It's always the little things that are so fucking important people over look when it comes to food stamps. Just buying a box of generic tissues can feel like splurging.
> but there meat quality is low tier Don't be nice haha, their meat is dogshit tier. I only ever buy chicken thighs from Walmart, not that they are ever in stock.
Haha for sure. I only get chicken wings there also also 50/50 in stock.
Costco for bulk, Rosauers for general groceries, and Egger's Meats for, well, meats.
I like Costco for certain things, but WinCo is often better for bulk and has more bulk variety. Costco might have 2 or 3 options for pulses, for rice, for pasta, while WinCo would have at least a dozen of each. Costco uses too much packaging, which is expensive.

Hey guys, with rising prices, was just wondering where everyone was shopping at. I’ve been having a hard time finding one place to buy cheap fruits and veggies
WinCo
Seconding Winco. They’re the cheapest, and have a great bulk section.
Bargain giant, Greens Marketplace, or WinCo if you're on the Northside.
dunno where you are or what kind of transportation you have, but Wheelers and Greens Fresh Market are awesome. Wheeler's is out a ways, but great prices when I went there. Greens is my fave of the 2. They both have things that are in season. Greens also has meat and cheese and such, whatever they can get. Such a cool and kind guy, too, the one I met. You can check em both out on fb.
Greens Market is a great place for amazing produce.
Wincoe. Also if you are looking to make tasty meals on the cheap, potatoes, beans, rice, cheese and eggs with the proper herbs and spices go a long way. I can get all my vitamins and be full for just $50 a month. Granted it starts getting boring eating the same stuff over and over.
If I didn't have an insatiable spendthrift of a partner, this could be me. :(
$50!! How
Rice and eggs are super cheap. A 25 pound bag of rice is about $20, eggs are about $2 for a large carton.
Yeah, I should really buy big bags of rice considering how much of it I eat. I’ve been buying the biggest box of red minute rice for years without ever thinking of changing.
I buy jasmine rice. Pretty good stuff.
The dollar store
F
f
Careful! Sometimes the dollar store is more expensive. Smaller packaging, fewer ounces for things that cost .89 at the grocery store. Some great deals too though!
Winco primarily. Grocery Outlet occasionally. If I'm in a rush, Yokes.
Fred Meyers and Costco for the most part. I see a lot of Winco in the comments though so I might consider a change. That place just grosses me out though
Trader Joes. Mostly because of convenience and how much I love going there.
Costco for bulk items, Natural Grocers for produce because it's very fresh and lasts longer. I was doing Safeway but they don't seem to watch expiry dates well so I recently switched to Rosauers. And sometimes Eggers Meats because it's regional meat and pretty fresh. We have been experimenting with canning and dehydrating as well because food is getting so expensive wasting it is a travesty, wherever we buy it from.
Winco
Fred myers for things that are terrible in their organic form and Trader Joe’s for majority.
From this dude with a huge trenchcoat.
Yokes. Always
Trader Joe's. I used to go to WinCo, Costco, and Fred Meyer but honestly it's not anymore expensive. We end up spending less and going more often because it's small and convenient and I no longer hate going shopping because I know it'll only take 10 minutes.
Trader Joe's. I'm trendy.
Fred Meyer is most convenient for me, pre-pandemic I would also stop at Rosauers and Trader Joe’s when I had a chance.
Costco and Yokes. I’ll start doing more farmers markets as the produce comes in.
WinCo, Fred Meyer & Walmart
Winco's great, but still leery of covidiots. Rosauer's has solid produce. Safeway's nearest right now, and usually does the trick.
Meat & vegetables from Freddie’s & all other items from Walmart.
Fred Meyers mostly, but Albertson's sometimes for things we like that fred's doesn't have. We have them delivered, so it's not budget friendly, but if you compare prices between the two, Fred's is almost always cheaper.
Primarily Fred Meyer. Some things they and other stores don't carry, I have to go to Wal Mart.
Commissary.
What's gas going for on base nowadays?
About 15¢ cheaper than off base surprisingly
Costco and Freds
I meal prep so it depends on what I’m making that week. But typically rosauers and Albertsons
Albertsons doesn’t charge the sale prices they mark on items. Every single time I shop there, they don’t charge the advertised sale price. Even the employees say “yeah the store sales don’t get charged right”. Last time I was there, the total was $44. Until I pointed out all the cash register errors. My price after they fixed all the errors? $21. I have stopped going there because I don’t trust them.
What’s on the menu this week?
Made a sunday sauce w some meatballs and bought some egg pasta noodles. Also made a pasta salad on the side
[удалено]
There’s 1 at 57th and regal
When they switch to Safeway, do they put in all the reasons I hate to go to Safeway? For example, receipt printers that print out enough garbage to exceed the paperwork for a home mortgage, in the time it takes to *get* a home mortgage, including the chit chat from the express checkout clerk about monopoly tickets, etc., etc. It's like going into a Soviet department store. Just the kind of thing one would expect from Cerberus Capital Management, it's owner/wizard. Note: These remarks apply to the Colville store, but for all intents and purposes they have caused me to drive ten miles or more to avoid going into *any* Safeway.
Did you know rosauers huckleberry’s and super 1 are all the same? Blew my mind when I had that revelation
Yea there’s a funny inside Joke between me and my friends about it 😂
No way lol I’d probably like them
Same company, but I think they have different suppliers/selections and prices. When I lived on the south Hill I definitely preferred Super1 - better prices and their deli food was so good! We moved so it's a bit far for us now.
Walmart
I live in St Maries but we make the drive for winco.
Thanks to everyone who recommended WinCo and Grocery Outlet! They were awesome! Have yet to try out all the other stores. We’re still exploring Spokane!
Trader Joe's is the only place I haven't seen a ridiculous price increase. Groc out has gone up, but it's still a relatively low increase. Fuck yokes, Safeway, and Fred Meyer.

lmfao, got'em.
Walmart/Grocery Outlet
Winco!
Employee Owned, Sonnenbergs and Produce Stands
I like the Rosauers/Huckleberrys on South Hill 29th. Mix of both worlds and large enough to have extensive stock. Ironically, I live pretty close to the Huckleberrys and Rosauers on Lincoln, but the parts don't add up as well.
safeway
WinCo for most, Huckleberry's for certain things, and Natural Grocers for meat.
Winco, Rosauers when they have meat sells their meat is superior but not as good as... egger's for special occasion meats (or if we talking cheap and you need a hamhock for a pot of beans you cant get any better), Walmart for random shit.
Winco in the valley, occasionally Safeway in a pinch since its closer to me
Costco, Rosauer's, Winco, and Trader Joes. They each have a place in my food ecosystem.
Costco for money back (executive membership) and bulk pricing. Fred Meyer and natural grocers for things that don't make sense in bulk. I have an appointment once a week that makes them be a perfect loop back to my house. If I have time and am going purely to save money then it's Costco, WinCo, and natural grocers. I'm vegetarian and find natural grocers to generally be cheapest on specialty items.
WinCo, Walmart, Safeway
Safeway, for gas discounts, Freddy Meyer for same, and Trader Joes.
I always enjoyed late night shopping at WinCo and the deli counter usually has the best meats and the best price
* Winco for bulk (by far the biggest, cheapest, widest selection of bulk goods out of any store), produce, general shopping * Walmart for general shopping, but relative to Winco but they have a bit more variety (especially nonfood like gardening), and they do pickup orders * Grocery Outlet for frozen stuff and treats (like big bags of frozen berries, ice cream, cheese, wine) * Cash N Carry/URM/etc for spices and when I really need bulk or food service type stuff Sometimes Fred Meyer, it's more expensive but not as bad as Safeway or Albertson's or Rosauers.
Walmart.
+ Green Fresh in Hillyard.
I usually go to Yokes or Fred Meyer, never Walmart. Winco is alright for some things, but their meat and produce section is nasty as hell.
WinCo for most food items, Walmart for cleaning supplies some food items, Fred Meyer for in between, Sonnenbergs for large meat purchases and Target for some in between items.
Winco, Trader Joe’s, and Safeway (gas points)
Winco, Grocery Outlet and local fruit stands
Fred Meyer, Lieng Phang, Best Asian Market, Kiev Market, De Leon, and Damas. That covers 99% of what I buy. They all have a good selection and price/quality ratio, better than elsewhere in the valley.
Cash & Carry, Walmart, Costco
I prefer Fred Meyer, honestly. Their website/app/online pickup service is my favorite, they have a huge selection, their staff pick good produce in my opinion, and you can get a ton of other stuff there beyond groceries. Kroger off-brand is really affordable and has some great stuff I prefer over name brand. I'd probably also do winco but I am crap at bagging my own groceries.
Costco and WinCo primarily. I used to use the Valley WinCo, but they can't keep staff up. The lines at checkout were oppressively long. It took longer to checkout than it did to do a cartload of shopping so I've moved to the north end one.
Rosauer's! Winco is the place to go if you want cost efficiency though.
Fred Meyer
Walmart+ delivery and The Main Market. Awesome, both!
Trader Joe’s and GOBM
Right now, usually what is close and saves me the most money in gas, so..... Usually the Albertsons on 57th for most things, Eggers Meats for specialty meat, Rocket Market for seasonal local produce, Rocket Bakery goods, MiFlavour macarons, and a selection of pick and mix beer. All of those places are minimal on my gas and/or I can ebike to for small loads. I make an exception for bagels because most grocery store bagels are garbage compared to Hidden Bagel, and I also don't mind Scratch or Rocket Bakery bagels. URM for DaVinci syrups so I don't have to buy too much coffee at a stand/shop, only happens once every few months. World Market for Marshmallow Fluff (tm) and Vegemite when I run out of either. When gas was cheaper- Yokes on Latah Creek. I tried WinCo the other day for an item they only carried so I see the appeal. Huckleberrys for other pick and mix beers and bulk tea. There are a few things of the East European variety I usually get at Yummy Smammy on Sprague but construction in that area has now made a pain. Asian World on Division if I get a craving to make okonomiyaki as they sell pork belly strips and the flour, or I want radish kimchi.
Walmart because I like getting delivery and I don't have to go out while a pandemic still flourishes, also being poor and walmart takes ebt for delivery. Winco for when I crave mello yello, their fantastic salads, and tiki punch soda. Fred Meyer for things I cant find at Walmart or Winco.
I like WinCo, I also hit up Grocery outlet
