I really adhere to the philosophy that you need to shop at multiple places if you really want to save money, as different categories are cheaper at different places. Normal supermarkets are good for a lot of produce and bulk things. There are a lot of things cheap at Super King (Southern California), but not everything. You have to look at the prices and pick and choose. And I normally wouldn't have listed them a few years ago as anything budget, but Trader Joe's has had a lot of prices not go up with inflation, suddenly making some things budget over the last few years (very case by case and particular), along with always being the cheapest place to buy alcohol.
