    Your Favorite Grocery Store?

    Kinda random but.. what's your favorite grocery store?

    For me, it's Safeway. We've got the club card, and you save a ton on almost everything. Always pretty good prices in general. There's another grocery store across the street from it which is bigger (Acme), but after going to both for a while, Safeway takes the cake.

    Least favorite grocery store is Superfresh. Overpriced, not the same quality as Safeway or Acme. I've just had multiple bad experiences at Superfresh, and I'm not even picky like that. I only go there occasionally because it's a bit closer then Acme/Safeway.

    For my other needs, we have a smaller grocer called Trader Joe's. Lots of good organic foods there and a good selection of stuff you don't find at the mainstream grocers. They put out a flyer every month detailing some of their items. Whoever writes it is very witty. We have a place called Whole Foods opening up too... heard they're big into the organic stuff and don't carry the huge names like Coke, Pepsi, etc, opting more for local stuff which is pretty cool. Apparently, they're a really great company to work for too. I'm in need of a new job, gonna throw in an application there when I'm in the area.

    Actually, I'd call this "really really really random".

        Great prices...

        I might start shopping at Safeway more, though. That club card is no joke.

            Kroger.

            It's just what I grew up with and is a hometown store. I've never had a problem shopping there and the prices/selection is decent. I also worked there for 2 years, so I guess I'm kind of loyal.

                  Don't really have a favorite. I usually go to the places that have the best produce and meats on sale. When I want a really nice steak for me and my GF, I will go to Whole foods, exotic seafood (shark) I go to bloom. When I am not particular, I will go to safeway or weis.

                  Problem with Whole Foods and Bloom IMO is they are expensive. Currently I have a beef tongue in a pot simmering for another 33 minutes, it was crazy to see that the Wal-Mart had beef tripe, tongue, cheek, and ox tail. So I jumped on the tongue and will probably try the tripe and cheek later this summer.

                    Grocery stores I go to:

                    Walmart

                    Pros: low prices on just about everything, no need to plan around sales, good selection, can get non-grocery items for cheap

                    Cons: produce is horrendous, have to deal with the Walmart clientele

                    Walmart Marketplace

                    Pros: close (just a bit farther away than Kroger), low prices, good selection

                    Cons: prices slightly higher than Walmart without the non grocery stuff, mediocre produce

                    Krogers

                    Pros: Sales are good, it's very close (500' or so), can get gas cheaper (I get gas once a month an now can save $1 a gallon)

                    Cons: Regular prices are outrageous for name brands and even some store branded stuff, produce is hit or miss, they stock shelves during busy store hours and dealing with idiot shoppers as well as aisles half full of stuff being stocked raises the blood pressure, if you need anything that's not food it will cost you about twice as much

                    Meijers

                    Pros: Prices are decent all around, some good sales, produce is the best of this bunch, can get some non grocery items at decent prices, good selection

                    Cons: Furthest away by quite a bit


                    Ultimately I end up at Krogers most often.

                        Harris Teeter - in the SE mainly I think. They have the "sub shop" - which is a must

                          Sobeys which is a chain throughout eastern and central Canada. Fairly decent prices and they have the best croissants
