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!
