ALDI food stores

Much lower prices than your giant chain stores. Sure, you have to bag your items, and bring your own bags (or buy their bags), and deposit a quarter to get a cart, which you get back when you return the cart, but the deals are outstanding. Their everyday prices are roughly the same as the rock-bottom discount prices you'll find at big, unionized grocery stores.
Seriously, I bought 90/10 ground beef for $2.19/lb, and the same stuff is roughly $3.30/lb at another grocery.

There's not one close to Durham, but we always hit the one in Asheville when we're over there. I think one might be opening in Raleigh.

It's a good no-frills place, very good prices.

GDG!

They're one within 10 miles from me, I'll be checking it out.

I think you'll be happy. Not the greatest selection, and certainly not many big-name brands, but lots of great deals. I found a box of sirloins that was half the price of a box of NoName steaks (a popular brand here), so I stocked up. Worth it to get a storage freezer.
