All of those big "discount" super stores still catch you with their hooks. Sure, all the common stuff is real cheap. But they still catch you with high prices on those other items. In basket for basket price comparisons, I find local grocery stores are very competitive with the big chains on average. Total recipt prices are always within $5-$10 for a regular shopping trip, and a good sale can even get me ahead sometimes when shopping a local store.

Costco is pretty competitive on almost everything I've checked. Sure, you can choose some of their higher quality stuff and end up spending more, but I would bet my $100 Costco receipt would be $140 - $160 at conventional grocery stores.
