My experience with Fresh Thyme has been that while their packaged foods are more expensive, their produce prices, especially for their quality, are hard to beat. They have a great organic section, with great organic deals to match. If I plan my meals around their ads, cooking clean, simple meals, I find that I can typically feed my family of four (with two small children) for about $80-90 per week. To save on canned and packaged goods, milk, eggs and butter, I usually make the extra trip to Meijer, Kroger or Costco.

You can find all of Fresh Thyme's ads on their website. In addition to produce, I like to pick up all of my supplements at Fresh Thyme as well. They have a great selection of vitamins and supplements, along with natural body care products.
