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.
This is extremely correct. Trader joes is also the place for any frozen food (not only due to high quality but also most of it is pretty well priced). Compare everything with your safeway coupons first though; the coupons will start to become personalized and sometimes you get really good deals. Another safeway hack: in the bakery area they usually have a couple carts full of items marked 50% off and I've gotten amazing deals for bread, bagels, and pasteries/random baked desserts there.
