H-E-B, popular grocery store in Central Texas. Meat and seafood quality is better than Wal-Mart's, Randalls, and the long gone Albertson's.

whole foods 70% of the time since the GF works there and we get a hefty discount.

Cub for cereals and other things whole foods does not sell since they are organic only.

I get bulk stuff from Sams and Costco though.

Same, but I will also hit the Wal-Mart market or Target, if they're cheaper for certain items.

And unless it's on sale, I get my orange juice (Tropicana) from Costco or Sams, since we go through a lot of that.

They sell groceries? :Q

In phoenix we have Fry's Electronics, Fry's music stores, and Fry's grocery store (rebrand of kroger, they actually have products labeled kroger some times). None of which are affiliated. kind of odd, but I got use to it.

CVS, Hyde Park Produce (small, produce-centered grocery store) and occassionally, I'll make my way over to the larger grocery store, Treasure Island, to pick up stuff I can't get at the other two places.

I go to Meijer pretty much exclusively. On occasion I'll head to Kroger if Meijer doesn't have what I'm looking for. (Usually only on Sunday nights before they restock everything) We don't really have much else around here. No trader joes or whole foods.

Generally Kroger as they have better lettuce than the other big stores.

King Soopers, Costco and just recently we started having Milk and some other staples delivered weekly by a local dairy farm.
