We have all 3 of those where we live as well but I don't usually grocery shop at either Safeway or Foodland (we have another local chain called Giant that I go to just because it's closer than the others). If I find the same items at Target they are usually cheaper UNLESS they happen to be on sale at the grocery store that week. I often look at the sale ads for the grocery store before I go out and will go to Target before I go to the grocery store, making 2 stops. If it's on sale at the grocery store then it's probably cheaper. But in general Target is much cheaper on an every day basis on stuff like paper & plastic products, coffee, tuna, creamers and frozen items like waffles (if shopping for name brand). We may stop at the Costco in Hawaii too but not for a whole lot of items. We're just a family of 3 and their packaging is just SOOO huge we won't need THAT much of anything. I often buy bottled water at Costco in the 35 pack but sometimes I can find it on sale for nearly the same price at the grocery store (maybe 50 cents difference). Does that work there as well? I hate to go to Costco just for water...
