My "best buys" are items $1 or less, meat for $2 or less a pound and a few other items that are at rock bottom prices. When I keep my shopping list to these items, I can bring home a ton of groceries for very little money.
I'm only include the "big stores" in this post. See
Other Grocery Stores in St Louis for best buys at the smaller stores.
