I found this posted on Burbed July 3rd it is their 4th of July 3 city cost of Groceries, since I received many comments via Email to the last price listing here we go again: This is "Burbed's latest installment of "Groceries cost more in the Bay Area." As usual, I have compared 3 cities where Safeway is available: Cupertino, Seattle (possibly our new enemy), and Washington D.C." Since I live in the Seattle area and completed my college in SF and then owned my first restaurant in Santa Clara I enjoy looking at these numbers and am sure you will as well.
