That is the most cherry picked grocery list I've ever seen. I'd like to see the family that specifically buys WestBrae black beans, Quiron breaded chicken patties, Nancy's fruit & yogurt cup, Amy's California burgers. (ironically those would be families that don't need to save the $14 noted here...) For normal people who just want to buy english muffins, peanut butter, cheerios, luncheon meats and aren't going to spend the premium on "organic, all-natural", Whole Foods is still ridiculously expensive. So basically, if you're going to buy ultra premium stuff and drop $200 a week on groceries, you can go to Whole Foods or Madison Market and save 15%? Great... (also, I'm betting QFC prices don't include their regular 50% off sales on various goods....) Good lord. That is the most cherry picked grocery list I’ve ever seen.
