Kroger. Hate going to Walmart. Sometimes CVS wins on discounts. -- nm - Qale as Folk Jul 9, 11:54
Generally Mariano's or Whole Foods, but we'll also use Jewel and Costco. -- nm - pmb Jul 9, 11:50 4
- Mariano's was my main store in Chicago. - ty97 Jul 9, 11:55
- I went to mariano's once. it looked like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a grocert store or a mini costco. it wasn't laid out well, and just - dogbert Jul 9, 11:54 1
  - The one near me is not any bigger than a typical Jewel. It's sort of a cross between a Jewel and a Whole Foods. A mix of organics, higher end meats, - pmb Jul 9, 12:10
- Whole Foods = Monocle's Sav-4-Less -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 11:51
Ralphs -- nm - Meg Jul 9, 11:50
Acme most of the time. It would be Wegmans if it was closer -- nm - decline Jul 9, 11:49 1
- me too. *covets* -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 11:50
Winco -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 11:48
Fresh and Easy. But, I live steps away from a Smart and Final, so I go there a lot as well -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 11:46
split betweens stop & shop and seabra. ..nm - x Jul 9, 11:46 2
- cool sea, bra -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 11:46 1
  - it's a really low price latino oriented chain with just a few locations. they have amazing deals sometimes... - x Jul 9, 11:50
Stop & Shop (Peapod). But I covet Wegmans. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 11:45 3
- Yeah, I loooove Wegmans. - kelly Jul 9, 11:54 2
  - This is me. Wegmans is about 20min in traffic. Acme is 5 min so Acme wins. -- nm - decline Jul 9, 11:57
  - *coveting* -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 11:54
Ralphie's -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 11:45
Harris Teeter. I frequently get groceries at 2am, so their 24hr time (and nearby location) gets my loyalty. -- nm - Max Jul 9, 11:45 2
- *makes notes in "When to Pull the Hotel Max Heist" dossier* -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 11:53

- (Costco too) -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 11:44
Kroger/Fresh Market depending what we're getting. - Kim Pine Jul 9, 11:44 1
- (my sister was in marblemount this weekend and texted me that she was going to "needlepoint." I love autocrrect.) -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 11:45
KeyFood. :-( -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 11:44 1

Costco/Sams, Walmart and Food Lion. -- nm - kelly Jul 9, 11:44
Costco. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 9, 11:43
Aldi except for a few small things. Then we do Schnucks. -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 11:43 3
- WTF is a Schnuck? njm -- nm - groiny Jul 9, 12:11 2
  - It's the last name of the people that founded the store. It's our Dominicks. - spamlet Jul 9, 12:14
  - I'm thinking it's what Moe used to call Curly -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 12:12
In addition to Kroger, we have also started using Fresh Market a lot. - David Jul 9, 11:43 8
- is freshmarket that british company? -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 11:44 7
  - You're thinking of Tesco's (disastrous) foray into the US. - spamlet Jul 9, 11:48 5
    - I don't think any stores have closed. Last I heard they put up the For Sale sign on their Fresh and Easy (US) stores -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 11:51 2
      - Oh, okay. I heard they're pulling out and I guessed they had closed the stores. -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 12:00 1
        
        Since their strategy was to locate in "food deserts," simply up and closing all those stores at once would be disastrous -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 12:02
    - ah right. my terrible. -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 11:50
    - apparently not con carne's -- nm - charlie Jul 9, 11:48

Depends what I need. Kroger, Publix or Wal Mart -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 11:42 1
- Costco -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 11:44
jewel -- nm - dogbert Jul 9, 11:42
I am so not a loyalist. I go wherever fruit or peanut butter is on sale (depending on which I need). -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 11:42 1
- and I go to wegman's for carrots because they're cut the best there. -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 11:43

  - I need to start going to Trader Joe's. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 11:47 13
    - cha-ching! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 11:50
    - I just don't love Trader Joe's. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 9, 11:50 11
      - I keep hearing all this great stuff about it. good stuff and great prices. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 11:53 10
        
        Two words, honey: wine and liquor - con_carne Jul 9, 12:00 5
        
        They can't sell that stuff at ours (nothing but beer in grocery stores in our state). -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 9, 12:55
        
        Then I Will Be Home. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 12:08 3
        
        They are also good at prepared foods and, well, snacks and sweets. I actually don't like them much for a basic grocery store -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 12:11 2
        
        my co-worker got some 'good honey' there for me. i drink a lot of hot tea and she wanted to help me protect my voice. - Diva Jul 9, 12:13 1
        
        Oh yeah, they're good at little specialty dry goods stuff like that -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 12:17
        
        It seemed very ordinary after we had discovered Fresh Market. - David Jul 9, 11:58
        
        Good stuff, but it ain't cheap. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 11:54 2
        
        ah... -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 11:55 1
        
        It does have some specialty items that you wouldn't find in a normal grocery store. - Strongbad Jul 9, 12:19
