idk for you but in my area the “ma and pa” stores are all like 2x the price of the big names because they all have a weird gimmick like “all we sell is gluten free”
I’ve seen a lot of those and tend not to go there. Good luck to them, but I hate the gimmicks.
I visit the farmer’s market pretty often where it’s families selling things they grew or made. I like the tomatoes there and I get to buy better meat that isn’t factory farmed. There’s a regular independent grocery store where my parents live. The prices are a little higher but the produce tends to be better (mostly fresh and local) and there’s actually a butcher in the meat department. Those kinds of places are dying.
