• Two Buck Chuck. Charles Shaw wine for 2.99. The way to go.

  Chris Geissler

• Bring your own bags. Now 5 cents per bag under new DC law but if you bring your own, they give you 5 cents per bag!

  Seth Rappaport

• The Cabernet Sauvignon is the best Two Buck Chuck by a good measure. It's definitely worth picking up for an extra table wine on hand.

  Josh Powell

• Cute guys in hoodies shop here. The line moves fast, even if it wraps around the store. Lots of tasty cheese.

• Bring a friend and have him or her wait in line while you shop.
