*nodsnods* Makes sense. I do the same, but have managed to mostly limit it to two places. I end up at Ralphs (our big box store) pretty frequently because meiczyslaw wants diet soda for work, and I can't get it at Jimbo's (our whole-foods market). I have to make a special trip for white whole-wheat too, though. The Ralphs I usually frequent is next to the Jimbo's (convenient and walkable!), but absolutely awful in terms of selection. It's way too chic, you know? There's another Ralphs nearby that has a better selection, so I get it there when I need it.

I wish I could hit our farmers' market more often -- unfortunately, it's on Tuesday, and I'm usually playing hockey that day. /: I usually do my shopping Saturday morning.
