We shop at Publix, a regional grocer based in the Southeast, for most of our day-to-day foods.
Our basic produce and entree bases will come from there, along with most beverages, including our refrigerator staple: flavored seltzer water. I told you, we're millennials. (But if it helps, we usually get it buy-one-get-one.)
I'm a sucker for a daily yogurt and you will always find stacks of tofu in our fridge that we use in scrambles, tacos, and more. We also irregularly buy things like olive oil, margarine, juices, hot sauce, and whatever interesting snack foods catch our eyes — which are not included in this breakdown.
There are only two of us, so we're not buying in bulk, but we do look for deals when we can, and our average weekly savings comes out to around $20.
Mark never cared for Trader Joe's until I came along. But with one perfectly stationed on my drive home from work, I make sure to pop in and get us some seasonal goodies, sauces, and dressings to pair with whatever he's cooking.
They also have great deals on vegan meat substitutes compared to Publix. Items like Tofurky slices are usually a few dollars cheaper. Needless to say, he's coming around.
We love supporting local businesses, and if that doesn't mean eating out, it often means getting items that we can incorporate into our own cooking.
Our favorite stops include local produce farms, a kombucha brewer, and a vegan meat butcher that somehow magically crafts faux meat and dairy substitutes like bacon, chicken salad, and even cheese sauces out of soy, wheat gluten, and other ingredients.
