Shopping for Organic Food at Giant Grocery Store

I have been wanting to find a grocery store that carries everything I would need for a week's worth of meals, while sticking to a general budget and sticking to an organic/ kosher diet. When I stopped by Giant and made a sweep of the store, I discovered what some of you may already know: Nature's Promise. Giant carries this line of organic products that is cheaper than Whole Foods and is closer in location to me..

Here are some of the deals I found: 2 bunches of romaine lettuce for $5.00, a bag of organic shredded cheese for $2.99, Nature's Promise Tortilla chips 2 for $5.00 and Nature's Promise Breads, 2 for $5.00. Considering the high price of whole grain and sprouted breads elsewhere, I thought the bread was the best deal here. Some of the higher prices that I would like to do better on include a 32 oz. organic creamer for $3.99 and higher priced meats $8-9 per package of chicken breasts. I did find the last package of organic chicken marked down to $2.99 per pound, which I grabbed. It had a use by or freeze by date coming up, so I came home and froze it immediately. If they do this often enough, you may be able to stock pile good deals on chicken here.

Overall, it is nice to find a local grocery store that not only carries a few items in produce, but if needed to, you could grab everything you are looking for here. It really is no different than paying more on some items to buy everything on your normal grocery list at one store as opposed to shopping at several different stores for the cheapest prices. Also, be sure to check out their website. You can not only find an online circular, but you can search by brand: Nature's Promise. You can also click "here" to look at their website for Nature's Promise and find helpful recipes and information about a healthier lifestyle.
