In Watertown, NY, where the cost of living is higher than in other parts of the country, you have to shop around to get the best prices on everything from apples to Zinc tablets.

So, in the past when I went shopping for my family, I went to great lengths to find the lowest average price on just about everything we needed. I've compiled a list of the grocery stores we shop at and why.

(If you have input on the list, dear reader, or you can otherwise offer tips on how to improve it, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment!)
