Trader Joes, Target, Harris Teeter. We're spending around $110/week for a family of fours (two adults, a 4 year old and an infant). When we were going brick and mortar it frequently required multiple trips to different stores just to get everything (Meats from Giant or Trader Joe's, Produce from Whole Foods, can goods & grains from Target or elsewhere). That usually ended up at around $130 - $160/week and resulted in more waste.
And i've gotten methodical with my price comparisons too. We're very consistent with our grocery shopping. We generally rotate between 8-10 meals and the only variation is seasonal produce really. We don't buy prepackaged meals and stuff like that.

Everything that's edible, we been buying from them. Meats, produce, grains, rice, cereal, dairy, bread, etc. We bounce between Costco & Amazon Pantry for paper towels, cleaning supplies, detergents, etc. I was also worried about produce initially. But so far, so good. It appears to be sourced from the same places our local grocers get their stuff from. I see the same farm names and same brands of dairy and eggs and stuff like that.

See, i'd try the opposite, non-perishables tend to be cheaper at the big box stores simply due to shipping weight and the deals that the distributers work out with brick & mortar stores for product placement and shelf space. Amazon hasn't figured out a way to get over that hurdle.
