I was at Stop and Shop this morning and their Nature's Promise antibiotic free ground beef was $7.99/lb
My next stop was Whole Foods where I knew I could get the hormone/antibiotic free meat for $5.99/lb. It also came wrapped in paper from the butcher instead of styrofoam and saran wrap.

I don't buy meat, but I am always surprised when I see fruit at the regular store costing the same as at WF, and it's so, so not good. I don't even try to get produce at Dominick's anymore because of biting into things that looked ok on the outside and were spoiled on the inside so many times. This week, apples were 2 cents less at TJs than Jewel, and they were organic! Then at WF, they were 5 cents more but organic and local, whereas a lot of the Jewel ones are probably mealy and have been in cold storage for a while. I think the extra 5 cents/lb is worth it for an apple that tastes like an apple.
