What grocery store do you shop at? Why?

[Bateluer]

Depends on what I need. There is an Albertsons within walking distance of my apartment, so if I just need a gallon of milk, a box of cereal, or fruit, I just had over there. Their alcohol selection is decent too, though a big over priced. Usually the Walgreen's a block away has better prices on my favorite beer. For more robust grocery shopping, I drive to the Walmart. I avoid the produce section at Walmart though, its terrible.

ShopRite, Acme, Superfresh, Super G...

 

[Captante]

Stop & Shop: (For genral food shopping) They have reasonable prices & very good selection.

Stew Leonards - (Fresh produce) They have very high quality fresh meat, fish, veggies & fruit ... much better then most supermarkets.


Edit: And forgot to mention the OP's poll is missing many choices!

Super Target FTW! The one in Maple Grove, MN is the shit. Great fresh produce, lots of 'exotic' items I can't find at rainbow or cub. Their Archer Farms brand is quite tasty and has a very diverse range of flavors and the food is actually good. And it is cheaper. I would say 70% of items are over $1 cheaper the other 30% are $2-3 dollars cheaper.

Winco cause its cheap and right across the street from my apartment complex.

I buy most of my stuff at WalMart, because I work at Food Lion. I have a slight mental hangup with paying my own check. Actually, I just get tired of seeing their products.

 

[tboo]

I shop at Wal-mart. I easily save at least a 20 spot shopping there over somewhere else.

 

[RESmonkey]

Anyone use Peapod or any online service?

 

[Oil]

HEB

 

[Jeff7]

Giant Eagle.

It's a nice store, not too big, there are always lots of registers open, and it's only 2 miles away.

 

[zach0624]

I go to grocery outlet because it carries name brands for way less than other chains.

There are several stores around the Seattle area and I saw one in the SF area too

 

[BW86]

Stop & Shop
BJ's
Trader Joe's
Walmart

 

[markgm]

Costco, Stop and Shop, Big Y, Price Chopper. Whichever one I'm around. Stew Leonards is cool, just too expensive.

 

[potato28]

You missed a few, like Sobeys and A&P. I shop at Sobeys most of the time.

 

[moshquerade]

for foodstuffs, usually Wegmans, or Price Chopper

why? fresh produce, meats, and some good sales. also, the stores are clean.

 

[BlackTigers]

Acme, Giant Eagle, Marcs, Wal-Mart, Target, Sams Club, and a fewo thers that I probably missed.

Deal shopping ftw.

 

[schizoid77]

Harris Teeter, because it's the closest and they have a very nice variety of produce and good meats. It's a bit expensive though. I'd rather have a Wegmans close by.

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

Lucky enough to be very close to a Wegman's right now, which is better than any other grocery store I've ever shopped in. Including much more expensive ones like Whole Foods. It's a world of difference from somewhere like Wal-Mart.

 

[JDub02]

Depends what part of the country I'm in. Albertson's at the moment since I'm out west. Giant Eagle/Shop N Save/Naser's in the Pittsburgh area. Wegman's in upstate NY. Farm Fresh and Trader Joe's back home in VA.

Wegman's is probably my favorite.

 

[Bignate603]

Safeway. It's closest, and relatively cheap. They've got OK produce but the meat is a little more pricey than Fry's.

We do go to trader joe's for certain things.

 

[miri]

HEB is a dominant grocer in Texas and Vons/Pavillions has a lot of stores in California.

 

[Injury]

Kroger. (no s on the end, tard.)

 

[johnjohn320]

Marsh. I live equidistant from there and a Kroger, and actually, Kroger's slightly cheaper. But, the Marsh is cleaner, has friendlier staff, and the produce is much better.

 

[Anubis]

Tops - Not on the list
Why: because its the ONLY one in my town and its less then a mile away

 

[murphy55d]

walmart. by far the cheapest everyday prices.
