I shop almost exclusively at Costco or a local co-op because all the stuff on the regular grocery store (always some version of Kroger) shelves is usually right at its sell date or very close, this is new in my area, things that used to have 6 - 8 months of shelf stable pantry goods have a month left when I see them in the store, which defeats the purpose of me keeping a deep pantry. So I do less bargain shopping and just do big Costco runs when I can and get fresh stuff at the co-op in between
