Haha you are going to laugh. It’s OK, everyone else has, even the 9yo.

I made a list of about 50 products that we buy a lot. Everything from milk to laundry detergent to tomato paste. And I went to Kroger, Target and Costco to compare the prices. Then I came home and entered them all into the spreadsheet I’d built to see which was cheapest.

It was so awesome.

The upshot: I’ve learned that of the things we buy most, except for laundry detergent, Costco is the cheapest — in most cases, lots and lots cheaper. Of course, there are a lot of things you can’t buy at Costco. And we’ll still be buying all our fruits and vegetables fresh (and organic) at the Turnip Truck. But I will be making at least a weekly trip to Costco from now on — many of the things we will buy there are perishable.

It’s awfully close on the laundry detergent, but it does make sense to buy it at Target.

Next up: Checking Harris Teeter and Publix against Kroger. I have a feeling I know what I’m going to find, but we’ll see.
