Grocery shoping in NYC

March 28th, 2007 at 07:52 pm

During my lunch break I went to buy few grocery items.
From the supermarket:

$7.00 2 packs waffle mix 12oz each
$8.54 1 pound of coffee
$9.98 1 jar of pine honey 14oz
$4.99 0.5 pound of havarti

From farmers market on Wednesdays:
$3.00 Mashroom-swiss cheese sandwitch(similar would be $6 at the supermarket)
$4.00 6" cherry pie (good deal)
$2.50 dozen of organic eggs (would be 4.30 in the supermarket)
$3.80 -- 2 yogurt drinks (not any cheaper)

Total: 48.11 -- and I can't make a meal out of it. And there is no coupons for any of these things (nor would the supermarket take them)

    Do you have access to a car? At worst, can you rent a subcontact for $25 on a weekend day? My 2 sisters lived in NYC for a while, and I'm in Jersey. I would pick them up and they would do a huge shopping trip by me once a month. We'd load up the car and bring it back to their apartments. It might seem weird to rent a car to do this, but depending on how much stuff you buy, it may be worth it. This is especially true for stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, etc. where it's difficult to lug the stuff around the city and it's so much cheaper in bulk...
