buying groceries in new york to save money is pretty useless. if you're strapped for cash, it makes sense to go to gray's papaya or chinatown and get dinner for $5 rather than spending between $10 to $15 to cook dinner for yourself.
but the prices in new jersey! $0.79 for a dozen eggs. $2.50 a pound for ground pork. $0.25 for lemons. $0.80 for lemongrass. $1.19 for any ground spice you want.
oh, and of course, approximately $8.00 for a six pack of premium beer (as opposed to $12.00 in new york).
now i can spend money on things like potato ricers -- to make homemade gnocchi (i'm going to try a sweet potato and whole wheat flour one this weekend) -- and applesauce! i am a sick puppy.
