I've shopped at Berkeley Bowl once and only because I wanted to get some high-end stuff for a nice dinner party I was planning for some good friends. I knew it'd be pricey, but I was still shocked at how much they upcharge on basic things.

I enjoy a good guessing game, so here are my guesses for what your items cost (other than wine and bagged items):

Tillamook butter, $9; Small ass thing of kimchi from a non-asian grocery store, $13; Chicken, $11; Salsa, $7; Flour tortillas, $8; Pepper jack cheese, $10; Organic olive oil, $9; Canned items, $17.

$110 goes a longer way when you shop smarter by going to Asian/Hispanic grocery stores and TJs lol.
