My main local store is Albertsons which may not be the cheapest but not the most expensive either.
I guess for a larger family you could save a lot by going to Costo or Walmart, but for a single, it's just not practical buying large quantity of food. It's hard to store fresh vegetables for more than a week.
My estimate includes miscellaneous stuffs such as condiments, plastic/aluminum wraps and so on which could cost quite a bit.

I probably spend $500 a month on alcohol alone
