What is considered the lowest end grocery store in your region. (the one you are scared to buy meat from)

[aircooled]

Here is has to be Food Lion (south east)

name yours

 

[minendo]

I only have one grocery store to choose from. The next closest one is 35 miles away.

 

[StageLeft]

Probably somewhere like piggly wiggly.

There are a number of places I won't shop at, usually not for fear of bad meat. There's a Safeway on University Ave in Seattle that's rather crime-ridden, for example, that I avoid.

Ironic name, eh?

There aren't any grocery stores around here that I'm afraid to buy meat from. Maybe that's why California has a higher cost of living, we have health inspectors.

 

P&C

 

[CrackRabbit]

Randall's All of them here seem to be dirty and run down.
Back home it was Super S Foods.

 

[Hammer]

I thought there was a law requiring everyone to be vegetarian there.

 

[Stark]

the ones in the barrio/ghetto that you never see anywhere else. either that or food4less.

 

[Tom]

Aldi's, but I wouldn't worry about safety of their products.

There's a Valu-Mart one city over. Use to go there with friends for munchies during highschool. One time we got Foremost ice-cream and Granny Goose chips. We all get sick. We swore to never again go cheap on food. I would never buy meat from there. All the other markets around me are large chain ones, so those I have no problem with.

 

[MustangSVT]

local garbage can.

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

Mr. Tom's Supermarket

 

[poopaskoopa]

Probably Bi-Lo.

 

[cavemanmoron]

Aldi's

Text Why do I need a quarter to use a shopping cart at ALDI?
At ALDI, we employ every cost-cutting measure possible to help keep your prices low. Our shopping cart ?rental? system is a good example. You insert a quarter to use a cart; when your cart is returned, so is your quarter. This innovative system allows us to minimize cost and pass the savings along to you.

Is it true that you charge for shopping bags?
We don?t hide the cost of our grocery bags in the price of our products, the way other stores do. You can either pay a small fee to purchase paper or plastic bags?or bring your own. Of course, we encourage recycling of bags.

Not much is beneath me.

I'm no coupon-clipper, but I take pride in the fact that I can fill my fridge for around half of what my friends usually pay... :beer:

Many of you out there who never shop at ethnic markets would be amazed at how badly you're being raped in the produce department at most of the big chain stores... people shopping at VONS, Ralphs, etc. are paying 300%+ markups for stuff that literally falls off of trees. But it's your money...

 

[nageov3t]

ShopRite, mostly because of it's location.

it's near the ghetto, so there's always people in there using food stamps. I love the food stamps program; I think it's wonderful and great and I like that my tax dollars support it. but it seems like people always buy a lot more food than their food stamps allow for, so they spend time in line trying to figure out what to buy and what to put back on the shelf, and the food stamps themselves take awhile to process since there is some paperwork involved at the register.

I just can't stand waiting in line for half an hour when I'm just buying $20 worth of groceries and paying cash.

Is there a law that requires everyone where you live to make idiotic comments? :disgust:

[Mo0o]

Safeway is the cheapest here but it's still decent. Although the asian supermarkets can be iffy, but that doesnt stop my parents from shopping there regularly

 

[CptObvious]

Winn-Dixie. I worked there for my first job and it was just unsanitary.

 

[Kanalua]

used to be a Ream's around here that was pretty ghetto...but that placed closed...

the Mexican meat markets have some pretty hairy meat...shop there for cheap limes and avacados.

Worse grocery store is on the south side of town, Allen's, white-trash/Mexi grocery store. Someone stole my check book (Mexicans were living in the apartment above us at the time, and they moved out soon afterwards...I'm not saying...) and about ten checks showed up at Allens in about 3 days...

across the street from Allens is a place that sells dented canned food, and unmarked canned food that the wrappers are missing...sold for $0.10 a piece...that place is ghetto!!!
