Today, as an example, I purchased some Van's frozen waffles. My kid gobbles these all-natural, organic [some varieties] and delicious treats up with peanut butter in the mornings. Now these regularly sell for approximately $3.50/box at Newflower (haven't priced them at Whole Foods). But at HEB this morning, they were on sale for $2/box, plus I had a $1-off-2 coupon, which brought them down to $1.50/box. SCORE.
I also bought 2 boxes of Kashi organic cereal the other day at a price of 2 for $5. With another $1-off-2 coupon, it brought the cost of this delicious, organic cereal down to $2/box. Compare that to Newflower, who sells it for approximately $4.50/box. Ridiculous!
In my experience, HEB consistently has the best prices on these and other organic/health brands -- like Stonyfield Farm dairy and Cascadian Farms -- in addition to offering many excellent-quality house brand products.
These small examples serve as a reminder to not overlook your "regular" grocery store in your quest to eat a healthy diet. And take those coupons with you!
Due to recession, it seems people are dumping organic for the general or less expensive organic stuff. Let's see what people are saying about much-hyped grocery stores, like Bristol Farms, Krogers, Vons, etc. From this we can get idea as to why they prefer to shop from cheaper grocery shops rather than these shops.
