Daily Table in Central is not a supermarket, but it is the cheapest grocery store in Cambridge. It’s very small with limited selection, but it’s the place to go if you need food very, very cheap.

Even cheaper if you order via Instacart

Instacart is foolishly using pricing from 7-8 years ago. Every item should be slightly higher than the in store price.

But the clowns in Silicon Valley are actually charging less for Market Basket orders.

Aldi in Medford is also crazy inexpensive. Mostly generic items.

Cambridge Day had an article about grocery prices recently https://www.cambridgeday.com/2022/09/12/checking-in-on-grocery-prices-at-checkout-bargain-shoppers-will-benefit-at-three-stores/

> There is a lot of variation between individual items, but in general, if you are looking for inexpensive groceries Daily Table and Trader Joe’s are your safest bet within city limits. If you can make the trip to Market Basket in Somerville, you should consider it.

If you happen to be on SNAP benefits, Daily Table also offers 50% off fruits and vegetables. There is a daily $ limit, I think it’s $15 or something.

Definitely Market Basket Somerville. Tuesday all day is good because the crowds are few and everything is stocked. Friday morning is ideal but before 10am which is not possible for most people who work.
