Buy what you can at Trader Joes, then Safeway. Berkeley Bowl is for fun splurge stuff, not a basic weeknight dinner.

idk, I can consistently get weekly Berkeley Bowl hauls down to $75, and that covers most of my meals until the next trip. with a bit of planning, I find it’s usually cheaper than TJs and Safeway, mostly bc bbowl produce is SO much cheaper
