Otherwise I tend to get more than we can eat in a week. I also have brought cereal, bread, jelly and peanut butter in my luggage (using the same space for souveniers on the way home), but that may be impractical now with the checked bag charges. At one grocery store on Oahu, I had chosen items based on the loyalty card price. When I went to check out, all I had to do was ask if I could get those prices and the clerk used a card he had to make my groceries ring up at the lower price. Very easy savings just for the asking.
