Post by: melodylogan45 on July 16, 2016, 07:45:25 am
What grocery stores do you shop at? Which ones do you like the most?

I use Safeway a lot, due to the convenient location. But I have to say our local one is super friendly and I really appreciate the staff there, Trader Joe's is another favorite. I hate going to WINCO but do use them to save $ on big shopping trips.

I don't know that I like any of them really. I find grocery shopping to be such a chore. I shop at several and for different reasons. I go to Winn Dixie because it is close to the house, but it is more expensive. I go to Walmart for the bigger trips because it is cheaper, but more annoying to deal with.

where I live I am stuck with going to WalMart or Reisbecks.    Kroger is on the other side of town .  I wish we had another good store close to me like Krogers or giant eagles or even a food lion or a safe way !!!

Ralphs, Sprouts, Walmart, 99 cent store, Superior Market (for avocados)...  I go where the sales are.   I'm a 99 cent store picker, I find such great deals there :)

I go to Costco every two weeks and generally pick up longer lasting items like eggs, avocados, a roast chicken, rice, potatoes, chicken *bleep*, salmon and frozen goods. Costco can be more expensive on some things so we do need to use the smaller stores.  We have a Krogers about a mile away and we usually get our fresh produce and smaller perishables there. Sprouts is good for produce and not priced too outrageously. Occasionally we will go to Target or Walmarts. We have a gourmet place that we go to as well for special salads. We don't use coupons that much because they are generally for name brand items, we are happy with generics and the name brand items (even with the coupon) tend to be more expensive.

I like King Sooper's the most. I can get most of my stuff without having to go all over the place. I don't care for the Walmart's here. The one that's the nearest to us is set up backwards and really doesn't have a whole lot. Safeway's not bad, I don't go there too often.

I get a few items at our local store, as fresh veggies don't last long, we  eat them up before they go bad, but then i run our and have to go. Their prices are so high i buy as little as i can get by with, or if the dollar store has it i buy from them or K-mart depending on what it is. Because we want them to stay in business. And their prices are cheaper then the grocery store. But when it comes to my big grocery shopping i go out of town, we are either hauling someone out of town or i am going to see a doctor. Isave a lot of money going to the box stores or clubs.

I love Festival Foods.

Everyone is so nice, even mgmt isready to help at any time.  Even produce people great you as you look through the apples etc.

It is well lit, the aisles are wide enough, and great deals.

Best part? You don't need to be a member to get the deals...no card to swipe. The sales are there for anyone.  No card determining what specials you want....privacy (what a concept).

Kroger is the go-to for regular shopping trips now.  They have been the best for produce and meat/fish.  Their generic brand has been expanding into organic products, too.  I find that with their loyalty card you get more for your money by being a regular shopper, bypassing all the running around to other stores.  You can download coupons onto their app and they offer a freebie on Friday.  Occasionally I will go to some of the specialty grocery stores like Trader Joe's or Central Market, especially when festivals like Hatch chilis or cheese are going on.  There are samplings, recipe ideas and cooking classes available.

I usually shop Winn Dixie all the time. It's close by and the prices are right!

I normally do one stop shopping and get everything I need for the week at Walmart in the neighboring town. If it's during the week, I use our Dollar Store and local grocery store. The local grocery store does have good meats.

Usually Wal Mart, unless Winn Dixie has good sales. Wal Mart is just more convenient so I don't have to make more than one stop.

I shop at Walmart, Aldi and Publix. My favorite to shop at is Publix because I think they have the best quality food, But they are really expensive. My second favorite is Aldi's because they have reasonable prices, but I can get all the products that I use there. I like Walmart because it is a one stop shop. I can groceries make up, cloths, what ever I need there, so I mostly shop at Walmart.

Kroger and Harris Tetter for the salad bar and produce mostly for the summer months and Walmart and the local store for other items.  Sometimes Family Dollar or Dollar General or wherever I can get some bargains.

I go to the one closest to me if I need something ASAP.  Otherwise I would drive to the one that sells at lower prices once a week.

Well where I live now they have this store called Winco and it has some great prices. I also shop at Safeway so I can get my points for cheaper gas. Raleys is another store I like also, they give me points for cash back in the form of a voucher.

My absolute favorite grocery store is Publix, clean store, great service, good selection. I honestly miss it when I'm in a part of the country that doesn't have that grocery store. And some of my friends who have moved away to other cities truly miss it as well. There's no substitute.
