So here's the thing.  I am not going to go to all these stores.  I am going to take my ads and price match either at Stonybrook HyVee or Walmart.  HyVee will not price match produce, or meat, unless it specifically says DOLE CELERY $.77 they won't just price match celery.  Fareway is also very good about price matching.  I have never had a problem with them price matching anything, as long as I have the ad.  The other thing is I have a lot of stuff built up, so on weeks like this one, where I am not terribly impressed with the prices in the ads, I don't spend a whole lot, and I save my money for the ads catch my eye again.  
I typically also don't buy non grocery items, ie toothpaste, toilet paper, and so on at the grocery store.  I have found that I can get a MUCH better price to wait for a sale to come up at Walgreen's or CVS .  I am hoping in the next week or two I will be able to put a list together for you or some better references to Walgreen's and CVS.  I will do my best to at least point out the stuff that I am going to buy.  


Happy Shopping!
