For general grocery items, our Lunardi's is maybe a bit cheaper than our
local Safeway. Our price for dried cannelloni beans was about $1.$.69/lb or
so. Most of our ongoing items are purchased at Costco, so I can't accurately
measure that. . They weren't organic, however.Their sale produce is much
better and well priced compared to Safeway. Of course most of our produce
is purchased at the Berkeley Bowl.

We couldn't live with Safeway meat ongoing. Yellow onions have been at
$.89/lb!!! That Rancher's Reserve, is a bunch of USDA select, is disgusting.

Where do you get meat in SF? We used to go to Bryan's and the CalMart. Are
they still there? Are they pricey? Lunardi's USDA Choice Standing Rib was
$8.99/lb yesterday. More than Costco, but not bad.
