This is where me and the wife do our weekly shopping.
It took a LONG time to convince her it is the right choice. She was brainwashed with all of the FUEL REWARDS from the big name grocery stores. I finally showed her that..the fuel savings as related to how much you have to actually spend..is very low...compared to how much you actually save by going to Winco.
For example..You goto Frys. Spend 200. With that, you get .20 off on fuel
So, you fill up, lets say, 15 gallons...that ends up being 3.00 off on the gas...so your overall expense is 197.00.
BUT..the same groceries at Winco will run you about 160.00 MAX. Add the 3.00 for 15 gallons of gas you didn't save, and that's an expense of 163.00
I would much rather pay 163.00 than 197.00.
I LOVE Winco's fresh made torilla chips. They also have a fresh peanut butter, and almond butter machine.
I also spend a lot of time in the Bulk foods section. TONS to choose from.
Oh yes, and one other thing. I LOVE the idea of bagging my own groceries. My biggest pet peeve is having to lug around 9 plastic grocery bags, with 5 bags worth of groceries. NO!! A half gallon of milk does NOT deserve its own bag!! So I do it myself, while the wife is taking care of checkout ( With MY debit card, of course)
