What grocery store do you shop at? Why?

This poll is kind of silly because most grocery store chains are regional. It's not like people actually have a choice between all of the options listed.
 
Choices or Nester's Market as they are close ot my house and have good, organic produce and meats for reasonable(ish) prices.

They probably don't exist in the US though.

Mostly Aldi. Lowest price and what they do carry is pretty nice quality (in my experience). When they don't have something I need there is a Kroger Market Center within walking distance of my apartment.

that's what i was thinking about all the "please add" requests. i've never heard of most of this stuff 😉
the only reason i even know about basha's and that fry's is a grocery store is because i used to live in arizona.
 
Publix, I live in the middle of 3 of them, but I go to the one that is right around the corner from my old highschool. Lots of hot highschool girls work at that one.
 
I have no choice, my only market is called Ridley's, a small Idaho chain. My next closest market is 125 miles away. Thought when I go out of town, I like Sunflower Markets, based out of Phoenix with locations in AZ, UT, NV, and NM. Kinda like Whole Foods, but without pretencious prices and customers, though not as much selection. Plus, they make the best sausages inhouse, fresh every day.
 
I personally shop at Dominion when I need useless crap or the once every few months item. My family shops at No frills cause it's cheap, and they got loads of stuff. Gotta add that No frills looks like shit though. Compared to "higher" end Dominion, it's a very depressing place to shop.
 
HEB in texas
Sunflower in colorado

i cant stand krogers and randalls. faux-upscale overpriced shitholes. no to albertsons. and i definitely do not buy food at wal-mart.
 
(60%) Whole Foods (I work there so I get a 20% discount)
(20%) Stop and Shop (right near my apt.)
(15%) The Korean grocer right near my house (great food and they always cut me deals when I buy bulk)
(5%) Super 88 when I need a quick fix for Asian food
 
Dillons. My only options are Dillons and Walmart. I despise going to Walmart so Dillons is where I go.

Harvey's. It's a local chain here in south Georgia. Followed by Wal Mart and Publix.

Where do you live in South Georgia? We have a Harveys in our southern georgia too. 😛 Mostly shop at Walmart though.

While here in Wisconsin, it's mostly at Walgreens.

WinCo!
i think it's a pacific northwest company. they're big, have a lot of good deals on stuff, and they're on my way home from work... which happens to be when there's not that many customers 🙂

I wish they had a WinCo up here in Seattle. It's cheap as hell.

I usually shop at Safeway and Trader Joe's. Both are in walking distance. Occasionally I'll hit up the QFC (Kroger) when someone is willing to drive.

Cub Foods is owned by SuperValu, which is on the list. Granted, most of SuperValu's retail stores are Cub Foods locations. It's mostly the independents that go by the SuperValu banner.
 
i get basic goods at wal-mart because its cheap.
i get produce and meat at Food Lion because here the quality is probably the best in town.
