MorG: howdy El Sportso!

MorG: Over 24 hour chat kill!

MorG: NED!!!!!

bruiser: NED!!

MorG:

bruiser: $144.30 today and no tax

MorG: or it's hot food

MorG: no tax on food items unless it's like soda, which has a sugar tax

bruiser: so if i get $150 worth of food, I pay that

bruiser: we're lucky in Mass; there's no tax on groceries except for ready-to-eat foods

bruiser: GOT IT! *downloads Desplat's Frankenstein score*

MorG: j2: via Instacart, with a long distance delivery fee

j2brown: ...and I see it's time for me to head home. Farewell, SST friends. Have a great, and safe, weekend!

j2brown: We've learned that the monthly subscription ($12) is less than we'd spend with impulse buys if we were at the store. YMMV.

j2brown: Will they deliver that far?

MorG: the closest WalMart to me is 34 miles away

j2brown: My lovely bride does mostly WalMart, with supplements (specific items that are cheaper) from Aldi or Wegmans. Thankfully she's got the time to do the comparison shopping.

MorG: if I need bulk foods, I go to Chef Store by US Foods

MorG: I mean, we have places like Grocery Outlet, but that's literally on the other side of the city, and they are usually out of the stuff I want

j2brown: ALDI is great for produce (at least here).

Grenadier: Along with still using a BJ's warehouse club membership.

Grenadier: We switched from Wegmans to ALDI once ALDI moved into our area.

MorG: oh, most of what I bought wasn't in bulk

MorG: not compaired to San Francisco grocery prices

Grenadier: And that's even assuming you wanted to buy something in bulk.

Grenadier: I've looked at Amazon's food prices before and they always seemed crazy high.

MorG: I was smart about it and ordered from Amazon Fresh

sigalas: Unfortunately all the healthy stuff is the most expensive...

Grenadier: We shop for 2 people too, and its an insane amount of money. Can't imagine what people with kids spend.

MorG: you beat me to it Gren lol
