Where do you buy your food?

[terry78]

Do you prefer to go to a popular chain, a small mom and pop type thing, or do you just mix it up? There is a local chain I go to sometimes, but they don't always have the crap I want, so I end up having to go to Target or something, which is a 15 min. drive from my place.

 

[Addendum]

I go to the grocery store. Duh

My bf has this quasi-religious devotion to Whole Foods, so that's where we usually shop during the weekend when he's here.

I usually go to Albertson's or Ralph's for regular grocery things. (I still have a massive amount of gift cards to go through for both, when I took advantage of the tax time promotion.) I'm also lucky enough to have a farmer's market every week in my neighborhood, because I'm a spoiled brat and I refuse to buy peaches and strawberries from any stores, even Whole Foods. They're soooo much yummier from a farmer's market. Cheaper too, ESPECIALLY compared to Whole Foods. Win/win!

I've also been making my own bread and yogurt.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

Local but popular chain, called Publix!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I tend to shop at numerous places. I tend to be a bit of a deal shopper when it comes to groceries.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I try to shop mostly at local places, but sometimes I'm just not able to and it's off to Wal-Mart. Vile place that it may be.

 

[Golgo-13]

I shop at either Giant, or Safeway most of the time.

 

[vindrow]

I order online from Vons and have it delivered and go to Ralph's for those things that I don't get from Vons.

 

[Downhere]

Publix! Nothing beats their baked goods, deli, and they make some killer subs!

 

[hippie_hunter]

I use Wegmans.

 

[Immortalfire]

Local but popular chain, called Publix!

I heart Publix.

 

[Mace Dolex]

I mostly go to any place that's close to me, the 99 cent stores are good for mostly toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, school supplies.

 

[C. Lee]

I heart Publix.

And that's why they have a restraining order against you.....

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Publix mostly, but I also tend to buy several other items that are pricier there at Target.

 

[Manic]

I usually go to Lucky and Safeway for general groceries, local corner stores whenever I want sweets or alcohol, and 7-11 if it's really late at night or I want some coffee on the road.

 

[PyroChamber]

I usually go to Wal-Mart for my grocery shopping, if it's little stuff then I just go to 7-11 or buy something at work.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I just go to the kitchen and the food is magically there . My fiancé handles our food requirements and she buys it in different specialist markets.

 

[Gamma Ray]

A supermarket! Imagine that! Excellent question.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

local chain "Eurofresh Market" and if cereal isn't on sale there then Walmart for that

 

[Logan's Lady]

I buy my groceries at the ONLY grocery store in my COUNTY... Food Lion.

It's not a national chain, but a regional chain of grocery stores.
But for anything else or special stuff I have to drive 25-30 miles to the closest city.

 

[Ring Deacon]

It is a toss-up. My wife and i shop where ever the mood strikes us at the time. Sometimes it is Walmart just because it is easier, Aldi's because it is so cheap, or a local chain called Giant Eagle for the fuel and food perks. Giant Eagle also has the better meat department and produce. I am not really tied down to any one store though.

I go to Food Lion, Walmart, or gas station.

I was surprised that Food Lion wasn't national, and just a big Southern Chain.

Publix for me too for most things.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

There sure are a lot of southern hypesters. Food Lion and Safeway are regular stops for me too for groceries. I try to avoid the devil that is WalMart, but sometimes you have to go there.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

I mostly shop at BJ's. I have to buy wholesale cause my kids eat me outta house and home!!
