I shop in four different stores because they have what I want. Dollar General, Schnucks, Save a Lot and of course Walmart. I am very set in my ways as to what I buy and each one of them has those items.

I love Fresh N' Easy - I hope they never go away! Second would be Super Walmart and Ralphs grocery store. I've been turned on to the 99 cent store - they surprisingly (to me anyway), have fresh produce. More and more I'm getting my fresh produce there. :thumbsup:

I shop at a SuperValu store which is just 3 miles from me.  To go to Kroger's I would have to make a 25 mile round trip so anything I might save would go into gasoline.  Besides many times the SuperValu has things for less money than Kroger's.  I also like it because it isn't as huge and I know where things are.

I buy most of our staples at Walmart but my husband likes to go to our local grocer every day to decide and buy what meat and sides we'll have for supper each night.

I shop at Giant.  They have good prices, double coupons, and a gas station off to the side of the store.  Every time you use your bonus card and spend $100 you get 10 cents off a gallon of their gas.  We usually wait until we have 40 or 50 cents then fill up the tank.  This weekend for Memorial Day if you spend $50 you get an extra 300 points or 30 cents off.  A good way to save and every penny counts!

Walmart, King Soopers, and Safeway. Have to split it up between 3 stores because one store doesn't haven't everything. I hate the Walmart that's by me. They built backwards and they don't have a lot of everything that they should.

We do the majority of our grocery shopping in our hometown....a locally owned grocery store called Glen's Food Center.

The prices are a bit higher than the Walmart and Hyvee stores in the bigger towns, but I appreciate the convenience of the hometown store.

Post by: lbeery on May 24, 2014, 10:36:09 am
Most often (like 98% of the time) I shop at one of the two groceries here in town.  It is about an hour to the nearest Walmart or big store and with the price of gas, I just can't justify going that far for groceries. I have gotten used to the limited selection but I do mail order from walmart when I need specialties non perishable items.  I do buy all my cleaning and paper product from Family Dollar.  OUr town has only about 2,000 people so not a lot of choices.....but then there is no traffic either.

I shop at Costco a lot the only place that I believe I can get everything I want on my shopping list. Safeway is just a distant second if I am tired and don't want to travel to far to Costco. It is hard to go there during weekends because it's hard to find a parking space closer to the store.

Nowhere. I don't have an income, therefore no money to shop. Yes, that means I don't always get to eat. Or, we have to go even further into to debt by using credit cards just to get the cheapest essentials and cheapest 'foods' (which means it's unhealthy garbage that our bodies barely get any nutrition, if any, out of) but when the card is used, I'm not the one who goes to the store.

I shop wherever the deals are. I go on a major shopping trip once a month. Every day building up to that date, I look for coupons and then the week of my shopping date I put together a list and plan my trip. Depending on what we need for the month, will depend on how many store I go to. But I typically shop at Albertsons, Publix, Winn-dixie, Dollar general, Dollar Tree, Wal-mart, Sam's Club, and GFS.

My favorite store to  go grocery shopping is Walmart. I love going there because it's a one stop shopping place. I  shop for cleaning supplies and pet supplies and things for the car and lastly I can shop for food. I don't have to run all over to different stores and wasting my time driving around a packed town, so I love Walmart and you can find them almost everywhere!

My husband is retired military, and every time we are close to a military base we stock up on everything!  We come home with a packed car.  The prices are better and the military has the best fresh produce I've ever seen anywhere.  Their meats are also the best tasting!  I just wish we lived a little closer to a base so that I could run to the commissary when I run out of ingredients!  When we can't get to a base we divide our time between Kroger and Walmart.

I shop at Kroger and Aldis. I like the online coupons available through the Kroger website. You can load coupons on to your Kroger plus card and get tons of savings. Plus they offer a free friday download that I take advantage of. Every friday they offer a new free product you can load to your card. I also use my shoppers card to save points towards money off gas.

What stores do you go to to shop for groceries?
I get some of my best bargains at Walmart. I do some shopping at Kroger and Publix. The  best produce comes from farmers vegggie stands. I have had the sweetest strawberries this year from a local farmer. They are expensive, but I justify it for the taste. I am cutting out the middleman by buying direct. Buy locally grown and keep our farmers working!

I buy from Walmart and the distribution center in town and the farmers market. I have to drive 80 miles one way to Walmart. But it is worth it as I also have other things to get. Our dinky grocery store is so expansive and the produce sucks.

It's really funny seeing all the different grocery chains.  I usually go to Acme or Giant, but if I'm in Vermont, I go to Hannaford's. Trader Joe's has some fancy stuff and isn't outrageously priced like Whole Foods, so occasionally I'll go there too.

I usually go to Walmart because it is the cheapest.  We only have one other real grocery store and a couple of knock off places in my town.  And they are all way more expensive than Walmart.  But I am about over the smart @ss attitudes of Walmart employees.  I think I may start sending a list with somebody else and let them shop for me. lol

I hit several places for groceries. I go to Costco for larger purchases like a months worth of steak, eggs, chicken and hamburger/two weeks worth of veggies, fruit and lettuce and several frozen items that will last for the month. I go to sprouts for protein powder and the week's fruit and vegetables. I go to King Soopers for more of the novelty items like ice cream, yogurt, and sandwich meat. I aim to keep my average grocery bill under two hundred dollars and have managed to do that for about a year.  I only go shopping once a week. If I forget something it needs to wait until the following week.

I usually buy my groceries at Food Lion.  They are pretty reasonable priced around here.  The Piggly Wiggly has
better meat prices but I don't like the people that work there.  No customer service, and they are kinda rude, never even say hello when they check ya out.  They just grab your stuff and start going. Sometimes I go to Love's Food.

I found a new store that charges you there cost than when you get up to the register they charge 10% of your purchases and this was the first time I shopped there and I spent all my food stamps there so I couldn't go anywhere else, But I usually shop at Aldis's, Town & Country and Wal-mart.  I also use coupons when I shop as long as it is something I would use anyways.
