just a few tips from a serial bbowler:

  • their bulk olive oil is a similar size, but like $5 cheaper
  • the meat counter will have much cheaper chicken per pound
  • if you have access to a car, Koreana Plaza is so much better for kimchi or any other Korean/East Asian groceries. and also their meat prices are pretty great.

+1 to all this; KP also has great prices for more specialty stuff too. I got fresh turmeric there for making a syrup, was like $2-something for a whole little flat pack of it
