I love Sharp Shopper, and am so happy they recently extended their hours! I can find some amazing prices on bulk items, pantry items, and even produce. I love their bulk food section, and get all my oatmeal, flour, cocoa powder, and even candy from Sharp Shopper.

One big disappointment is that frozen chicken is almost always ruined by freezer burn, so I can't take advantage of low prices in...
Read moreBest place to save money on groceries in Harrisonburg! I have shopped here for years and saved tons of money. Just check expiration dates before buying. My only complaint is that produce is hit or miss on quality. Things that last longer on the shelf like potatoes, onions, and garlic are usually good. There are usually great deals on snacks, cereal, yogurt, ice cream and bread (check the bread rack at the front near the check out area).
