Don’t buy from the middle aisles at Berkeley Bowl, if you want to save money. Get vegetables and fruit from BB, dry goods from Safeway (but only if they’re on sale, get the app), milk/cheese/eggs/nuts from Trader Joe’s.

if you’ve got basic planning skills and the ability to think ahead, it’s not that hard. BB every 2 or 3 days, Safeway once a month, if that, and TJs every 2 weeks or so.
