>local bakeries, produce markets, butcher shops, etc.
That's probably where I would go to shop. Waiting for my local farm stand to open for the summer. And there's a nice local butcher down the road. But these are not cheap alternatives to my local grocery store (which actually has fairly decent produce, meat, bread from in-house bakery, etc.) I enjoy going to farmers' markets but they're not cheap places to buy food for the most part.
