I recently noticed how much grocery prices can vary between supermarkets in NYC, especially when buying chicken, beef, and other everyday essentials. Last week, I visited two different stores and found a surprisingly big difference in meat prices for almost identical products. Since then, I've been trying to compare weekly grocery deals before shopping instead of sticking to the same supermarket. Do you have any favorite stores or websites for finding affordable groceries in New York City?
Found this while browsing and wanted to add my two cents. The price differences you saw are real, and I've noticed the same with chicken and produce. I usually check the weekly circulars on Flipp before heading out, and I stick to stores like Aldi or Key Food for basics. Have you tried any neighborhood markets or the 99 Cents stores? Would love to know what you've found.
I’ve been using Lowtein to track weekly flyers — it shows the price of milk per store and highlights the cheapest deals on chicken and beef too. It polls 18 NYC retailers and flags savings like pork chops at 1.99/lb. Really helps me decide where to shop.
