Depends on whether I am stocking up for winter or just off to rhe grocery store. But I like Tops Market and Save-a-Lot, Walmart and the Dollar General Stores. We don't have a Sam's Club or BJ's close to here, but I used them lots when I lived in FL.

Depends on how much time I have, love Walmart because everything there but it takes too long to get out of the store. I also love Publix, but they are way higher in price.

Since I live in California Wally World (Wal-Mart) is a great place to shop. My gf works at Target and we get her 5%-15% off everything in the store either with her Employee discount or her Target Debit Card or Credit Card.

My favorite places to shop for groceries would be Walmart, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, and Save a lot. Sometimes Food Lion can be high though, but they do have some great prices every now and then.

I prefer to shop for some items at save -a-lot becase they are cheaper, and then I finish out my grocery list at Wal-Mart. If I need a special cut of meat I go to Picnpak-their butcher does a wonderful job.

I do most of my shopping at Walmart because of the prices, but my favorite place to shop for groceries is any military commissary.  My husband is retired military and we live a couple of hours from the commissary at Ft. Campbell.  They have absolutely the freshest, tastiest produce and meat of anywhere I've ever shopped.  They also have the best prices plus you don't have to pay tax. During the "growing" season, we love to shop at local farmers' markets.  There's nothing like fresh fruits and vegetables, especially tomatoes!

My favorite store to shop for groceries is Wal-Mart, because it's cheaper and i can also shop for other items i may need at the time and not have to drive to another store. I'm glad that there is going to be a Super Wal-Mart opening up soon in my hometown.

My closest store is Safeway, but I have also discovered Walmart (great savings) and the Dollar Store! Found some good bargains at the D/S.....didn't even know they sell foodstuffs!

I shop at a small locally owned chain.  There are several stores of the chain in my city and also several of the small towns within 20 miles or so have the stores.  It's a nice, friendly and clean place.  I just wish the one closest to where I live was as big as a couple of their other stores.  I have to go a little further for a better variety.   :wave: :wave:

I get my groceries at Aldi's and Wal-mart once a month because they are at least 45 minutes away.  We only have one grocery store in our small town which is Town & County and I get my meat there because they have buy 5 packages and you only pay 5 dollars each and its a better grade of meat instead of paying by the pound.

I love Wegmans, they recently started opening Stores in Virginia and I find if you buy their store brand they are usually less expensive that other Food Stores. I also Like their beer and wine section, the largest I have ever seen in a Grocery store. They have various area's in the store, specialty foods, suschi section and even a Pizza Parlor in the store. They have also a great Meat section.

we buy at Walmart, once a month and then supplement at our overpriced home town store. Walmart is 80 milesa way usually someone is going to the dr. or other bus. needs to be taken care of. Sam's club is either 115 or 187 miles away.

Sprouts is my favorite for fruits and veggies! They have great produce and helpful employees. If I need anything other than that, I go to target or walmart.

I usually go to costco or walmart, to stock up on canned goods, food, etc. Buying bulk is the only way I can afford other things, such as rent, medicine, and such.

I live a few hundred feet from a Publix, so I almost always go there. I used to shop at Kroger most of the time before I moved, though. Honestly all the prices are so similar I just go with the closest to save gas. Plus I get my prescriptions at Publix too.

Usually Festival Foods, but sometimes Piggly Wiggly or Pick n Save.

My preferred place to shop is at King Soopers. It is part of the Kroger chains/operated by Kroger brands. I think they have some really great deals, and feel their base prices are cheaper than Safeway, and when they have sales they are better sale prices than Safeway. But sometimes we do shop at Safeway because there is one close and that can be more convenient.

I do not like to go to Wal Mart. Just because it is too stressful and not worth it. There are always so many people there, even if you go on a weekday when you think it would not be busy. Because of that, people are usually in the way of what you need, and I find sometimes rude. Plus the lines are so much longer. So for that reason, I do not mind paying a little extra to have less stress, and a more quiet shopping trip.

I only shop at local grocers, usually try to go organic too.  I avoid Wal-mart at all costs because they have very bad business practices and are bad for the economy.  Property values drop in the area when they open up a new store. :(

I frequently shop at Costco, Safeway and Trader Joes, but periodically use Target for select groceries, especially when there are particular sales (i.e. very cheap eggs). I also sometimes shop at local groceries (i.e. some mom and pop groceries, Asian markets).

I prefer a local food chain, Stauffer's because they have locally grown organic produce in season, good prices and great selection. I sometimes stock up at BJ's on staples. I will not buy food at Walmart.

I love to shop at Whole Foods but they are just too expensive for me. So I usually shop at Sunflower Market (local?) for grocery.

I don’t have any particular favorite market. I go to many markets for groceries like Ralphs, Albertsons, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Fresh & Easy, Smart & Final and other ethnic markets based upon what I need that meet my budget.
