LIR znu: Oh yeah, when I'm being good, I split up my food shopping between more than one store.

Ralphs (Kroger) is closest and has a bunch of generics I can't quit, some essentials that do come out cheaper and loads of specialty goodies and brand names.

I've converted almost all of my shopping to Wegmans - decline Aug 28, 12:57 1
- Wegner's! -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 12:58
We're equal distance from Target and Jewel (Albertsons). Target for price, Jewel for selection. Did see interesting shrinkflation on Tropicana today. - King Of Oklahoma Aug 28, 12:55 7
- It is pretty sweet when store websites give the price per unit of measure. I think Ralph's does this too? Math is hard. -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 13:04 6
  - Kroger does in store, not sure about website (we never use it). -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 13:06 5
    - That is nice. Ralph's is owned by Kroger and they do not! Harumph. -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 13:07 4
      - Really? Wow. *Super* handy when you are tired and do not want to do mental conversions. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 13:23 3
        
        Just got back from Ralph's. They actually do the price per oz thing, I just didn't notice. Heh. -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 16:37 2
        
        I was pretty sure they did but wanted to check before I debated. And I'm having an increasing problem reading shelf tags anyway ;) -- nm - Meg Aug 28, 17:08 1
        
        it is printed kinda small, tbf -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 17:16
I split between Kroger, HEB and Walmart. - whisper Aug 28, 12:25 1
- TJ's is one thing I have left behind with my most recent move. Missed it bunches until I discovered del amo and started cooking more :) -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 12:45
Ain't nobody got time to go running to 6 different stores for groceries. I'd waste more in time and gas than I'm saving. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 28, 12:13 16
- I do, but I basically live in a 15 minute neighbourhood - Roger More Aug 28, 14:16 3
  - I see how it is -- nm - Candlestick Maker Aug 28, 14:23 2
    - I had to cut back on candles, my spending was up to $3600 a week. -- nm - Roger More Aug 28, 14:28 1
      - you found someone good at the economy! -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 15:12
- agreeance. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 28, 13:16
- We might hit up 2-3 stores throughout the week. Like Food Lion (I think) has chips on sale buy 2 get 3 free. Harris Teeter has Bogo ice cream. - sycor Aug 28, 12:34
- What happened to all this WFH and getting so much work/life balance, man... j/k! Yeah I'm a bit like mandy in that I do enjoy shopping. - con_carne Aug 28, 12:27 1
  - Same with the enjoyment, and it's not like I don't have the time :) -- nm - Meg Aug 28, 12:33
- i go to different places for different things, but not all on the same day. the specialty places i hit up once in a while and stock up. Fruit and veg - Andie Aug 28, 12:22 3
  - I try to fit it all in one big shop on the weekends. Occasionally I’ll have to supplement midweek, but mostly try to plan the whole week at once. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 28, 12:43
  - Yup. This is what we do as well. -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 12:39
  - It all changed for me when we moved. I used to be within walking distance of like 5 different places. Now - notsomuch. - Turd Ferguson Aug 28, 12:37
- this -- nm - decline Aug 28, 12:22
- I don’t have that excuse, as the produce market is on the way to the grocery store. - znufrii Aug 28, 12:22
- I go to Ralphs for my basics (coupons & fuel points), The Hispanic market for produce, and Target when I have a gift card from survey points. - Meg Aug 28, 12:20 1
  - Yeah Target is on my food shopping list as well, just less frequent. They have some things on permanent markdown. -- nm - con_carne Aug 28, 12:31
