    Tbf, DG is no longer cheaper on anything that the one independently owned grocery store, except milk (about $2 so that’s worth it at $3.59)gallon), cookies (about a dollar) and crappy bread that’s overpriced at any grocery store. The nearest Walmart nearly 50 miles away was more expensive than our one, locally owned grocery store, which is significantly more expensive than the FL about 15 miles away, although some items are pleasantly and surprisingly less expensive (wild caught Pacific salmon filet, about$10 less. You can tell it isn’t farmed because of the taste and texture, but it’s not sockeye. Idk what it is, but it’s acceptable).

      It’s never been about actually being cheaper, it’s about people thinking it’s cheaper so they shop there.

        I know and I hate the stores I mentioned but it’s whatever is available and affordable at any given moment. I’m working on remedying that but gesture to everything.
