My shopping philosophy:

Step 1. What season is it?

If winter/out of season --> purchase from local grocery store (Market Basket, Wegmans, etc.) or anything that isn't Walmart.

If summer/in-season --> find Farmer's Market, talk to people, buy things.

Step 2. Ignore the hype of certain products and grocery stores and maybe eventually read The End of Food and others to get a better understanding of how all this works.
