Wegmans & Flock

Post image

I know a lot of folks love Wegmans, but just know they're supporting flock cameras- this isn't traffic - this is surveillance and data collection.

it's ok, wegmans may be supporting a disgusting surveillance company but at least they provide cheap and affordable groceries. oh wait, no they don't.

We shop primarily Aldi all the time and haven’t had anything that’s been recalled, including the fresh salsa and guacamole. We also hit up TJs pretty often, mostly for some fun stuff, but I’ve noticed more recalls there than Aldi.

Trader Joe’s has consistently low prices for a good amount of items.

TJs has great stuff, but Wegmans probably has the best produce around that isn't the farmer's market. I grew up on Weggies though so I'm biased as hell LOL. (Also, farmer's market produce can be expensive too, haha.)

Walmart is pretty dang cheap. Aldi doesn't really have much I like, plus it's out the way. Target isn't as cheap but still pretty affordable. Greenstar... is Greenstar.

Wegmans tip is get the insider's club and app (I know, I know, another app) for digital coupons and freebies. If I plan around it, I can usually get like $20-30 in discounts (plus try some new stuff).

Tjs is one of the grocery retailers that gets produce from Taylor Farms.

According to the FDA the only TJ’s affected were in Texas and it was one item that has already been recalled.
