My local grocery store's prices are similar, and the quality is far better.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517246579704472278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12669756.post-19864699352455710422010-04-14T16:47:03.406-04:002010-04-14T16:47:03.406-04:00And, oh yeah, I used to cloth diaper exclusively, ...And, oh yeah, I used to cloth diaper exclusively, but my back hurts so much this pregnancy that I want to spend as little time as possible bending over changing diapers, so I've switched to disposables. They're so easy. Now I'm spoiled, and I'm not sure I want to go back to cloth. I still use cloth wipes (washcloths), though, because in my opinion, disposable wipes just don't accomplish much...it takes about 20 to handle the big jobs!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219927747463858511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12669756.post-25926968056330958402010-04-14T16:43:13.999-04:002010-04-14T16:43:13.999-04:00I have never been impressed with Walmart's foo...I have never been impressed with Walmart's food prices, so I don't buy food there. I've tried their diapers, but they leak, so I don't get them there any more. Instead, I get the store brand at Fred Meyer, a Kroger chain store. We also get organic milk at Fred Meyer. There is a grocery store in our area called Winco that I think must be somewhat like Aldi. They have good prices, so we get our everyday staples there. I get most of our produce at a produce market, because it's cheaper even than Winco. I'm excited because our local farmer's market opens up in a few weeks, and sometimes they have cheap produce that is much better quality than you'd find in a store. <br /><br />By the way, it is SUPER hard to find cottage cheese without a bunch of nasty preservatives and other ingredients. I am fortunate to live in an area with lots of Trader Joes stores (yay, cheap health food), and they do have good-quality (no gross stuff) cottage cheese for about $3/quart. If I didn't have that, I just wouldn't buy cottage cheese unless I could find organic c.c. on sale somewhere.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219927747463858511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12669756.post-52265356640902271282010-04-13T22:05:03.116-04:002010-04-13T22:05:03.116-04:00Um..

All wilted, all wrapped in plastic, picked over, hard to get to in the store, just nasty! And the "fresh" produce takes up about 2% of the "grocery" space. Virtually everything is in a box. I only stop in to pick up lentils, which for some bizarre reason, my Kroger doesn't carry. And you know, Walmart's not even that cheap!<br /><br />I happily pay a little extra for the gorgeous fresh things at Kroger (oh yes, their organic dairy stuff is MUCH cheaper than Walmart's), and put everything on a Kroger gift card--5% of all I spend goes straight back to my church!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747223126169684757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12669756.post-59094871664259496702010-04-12T15:44:46.785-04:002010-04-12T15:44:46.785-04:00They really have changed their products drasticall...They really have changed their products drastically!

Now I buy a different brand of generic diapers and use cloth.<br /><br />It really IS obvious that they've cut so many corners. So many things I used to love just aren't that great any more.Milehimama @ Mama Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04755353355022539817noreply@blogger.com
