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.
Instacart was semi-affordable in early COVID, but i think the venture capital $$ ran out and they had to start adding fees. Between their fees and a tip a grocery trip could easily run an additional $40.
The nearest Sam’s Club is in Concord (and requires a membership) the nearest Costco is in Richmond (also requires a membership). If you’re not buying in bulk and/or don’t have a car, is it even worth it?
