Sometimes its hard to know where to get grocery items at the best prices. Here is a list of places I shop and what I normally purchase at each store. Your pantry needs may vary from mine, so shop accordingly. It is good to make a staple item list, so you know what is regularly on hand and what needs to be replenished.
Sharp Shopper- Bulk baking items and nuts, cheeses, bananas, some local produce, olive oil and spices. I have also found organic items occasionally. (http://www.sharpshopper.net/)
T&E Meats - Ground beef, steaks, roasts, and stew meat. Local and grass-fed available, including Polyface Farms products. (http://www.temeats.com/)
Finder's Keepers (discount items)- Barilla brand whole wheat pasta, organic salsa and some soups and spices.
Martin's - Kefir, organic fruit and produce (during the winter months), specialty cheeses, organic extra-virgin coconut oil, occasional organic items, ginger ale with no HFCS (http://www.martinsfoods.com/)
Wal-Mart - Natural peanut butter, Stoneyfield organic yogurt, Horizon organic whole milk (non-homogenized)
Costco - occasional organic items, bulk jasmine rice and quinoa (http://www.costco.com/)
Shank's Bakery - fresh bread (when I don't make my own)

Shenandoah Heritage Farmer's Market, Grandma's Pantry - Raw apple cider vinegar, bulk honey (take your own container) and local maple syrup (http://www.shenandoahmarket.com/)
The websites for most of these places are posted underneath. Everyone's list will differ, but comparing prices and sales from different stores will help maximize the grocery budget.
