I agree with SJS about the cost of shopping in heimishe groceries versus regular chain stores. When an item is only slightly more expensive at a heimishe store, I’m happy to buy it there (and I find some items, such as cheeses, are even cheaper at heimishe stores). But by shopping carefully, I can buy a box of cereal for less than $1 at my chain grocery; it’s tough to justify paying $3 at the heimishe store for the same item.
