I go to Wal mart because its convienient and the prices are the cheapest. Other people I know refuse to go to Wal Mart for some reason they wont disclose. If you go to a regional chain be sure to say where you live!

 

[MIMIC]

At home (Cleveland, OH), my family usually goes to Tops or Giant Eagle.

walmart? for groceries?

It has begun

 

[Dan]

Meijer, in Michigan. It's the closest major place and has everything I could want for good prices.

 

[demi]

You can't kill the Wall-Mart!

 

[alejob]

Albertsons most of the time but sometimes Walmart.

 

[Ronald_mcd]

Loblaws and Costco.

 

[lexi]

Sobeys. I walk the extra mile to avoid Walmart.

 

[luxsol]

Vons (California) for a lot of the necessary foods like cereal, chips, soda, meat and breads.
Henry's Market Place (an alternative grocery store with a "healthier" selection) for veggies except bananas cause Vons has better ones!
Costco for sandwich bread, canned foods and crackers (along with other stuff).

 

[StrikerObi]

I go to Publix for major shopping, and Albertsons for 3am random shopping.

 

[guess]

HEB in Texas.

walmart has very low prices on groceries. That's all I shop at walmart for.

I don't give a hell whether I'm supporting the super chain of death or just a normal national chain. Plus, it's tolerable here because it's a college town and you don't run into as many of the...let's say typical...walmart customers. I went to the new walmart back home over the winter break, and I just about thought I was going to end up committing homocide or suicide after being in there for more than three minutes.

 

[Chony]

QFC, Whole Foods or Trader Joes in Seattle. Sometimes Costco if I am feeling up for it.

 

[Tarazet]

Nob Hill (aka Raley's), Safeway, and Costco for whatever can be bought in bulk.

 

[pestul]

Sobeys, Dominion & Colemans. Yeah, I'm in Canada.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

krogers! ohio

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

Loblaws... they just moved it though and the original location was turned into a SuperC. I hate that store and all who go to it. I drive carefully past there... I always feel like they're going to try to throw themselves in front of my van.

 

[marko]

Aldi's / Kroger

 

[demi]

I have a lot of store selection here in Toledo, OH so it basically comes down to who has the better deals.


Luckily, Wal-Mart is too far for me, so I choose between Meijer's or Kroger's. Or those cheap-o stores like Aldi's, Save-A-Lot, etc.

 

[Kon Tiki]

No Frills. It is on the same block as my apartment.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Wal-Mart. 5 minutes away by car, 10 minutes by bicycle.

 

[Crag Dweller]

Kroger here also. A super Wal-Mart opened close by recently, but between the large crowds and the lack of some items that I like, the savings of a few pennies wasn't worth it to me.

 

[sefskillz]

Kroger usually because it's closer. Publix is awesome though.

 

[Arwen]

The Real Canadian Superstore.

Seriously, that's the name. But it's great.

And is it just me or are supermarkets getting a little... too encompassing. A new Superstore was just built on the other side of the city and it has a full gym and daycare inside. Is this the norm everywhere else?

 

[Jimmy Carter]

Cub or Coborn's. I hate Wal Mart. White trash capitol, USA.

 

[Suerte]

ASDA (Wal Mart UK)

 

[COCKLES]

Tesco.

5 X Healthy Eating Microwave meals range for £4 quid!!

 

[alejob]

Wal-Mart. 5 minutes away by car, 10 minutes by bicycle.

How do you carry al the groceries back on a bycicle? :lol
Maybe you ride the bike when you just a couple of items.

 

[Dilbert]

Ralphs, Trader Joe's, Albertsons, Bristol Farms -- whatever is closer and has the thing I'm looking for.

Fuck Wal-Mart to fucking hell, by the way.

[Orin GA]

publix

 

[The Fronde]

Tesco is overpriced. Sainsbury's is where it's at! 40p baguettes own.

 

[tt_deeb]

Stop and Shop, King Kullen, or BJ's.

 

[Mama Smurf]

The place 2 minutes walk away. I don't know the name, it doesn't seem to have a sign.

In the UK, Asda. It's closest, though I've shopped in the others and I still prefer it. Tesco is good though.

Oh and :lol @ Tesco being more expensive than Sainsburys. Unless things ahve change d a lot in the 6 months I've been away, then no way.

 

[Pochacco]

 

[sc0la]

Nob Hill (aka Raley's)

woohoo.

my dad works for raley's. they are good stores.

 

[Vlad]

SuperFresh, simply due to the fact that they've got self-checkout lanes.

 

[RedDwarf]

Usually Trader Joe's or Whole Foods Market (formerly Bread and Circus) with a quick stop at Stop and Shop for basic staples like coffee and sugar.

 

[fennec fox]

Trader Joe's
Albertsons

I'm going to miss Trader Joe's living in Houston

 

[Cubsfan23]

Wal-mart, until they built a meijers about 4 years ago. I like Kroger's atomsphere the best but it seems their prices have gone up compared to meijers.

 

[The Fronde]

Maybe things have changed, by me anyway. The Tesco is indeed more expensive for most of the things we buy. It's a smaller one though, so maybe that explains it.

I'm in South Kensington, London, BTW.

South Kennny? Fucking hell, then you can afford to buy groceries at Harrods! :lol

 

[Mama Smurf]

Oh, maybe things are different in London. I know everything is more expensive there, but I don't know to what degree.

Around where I live (north west), Sainsbury's would be considered the most expensive of the main supermarkets. In fact, I've heard people called posh for shopping there (by stupid people, sure).

 

[Cooper]

simply due to the fact that they've got self-checkout lanes.

You like those things? They never work for me.

I usually shop at Bristol Farms. The food costs more, but it really does taste better.

 

[The Fronde]

South Ken is really nice. Unfortunately I'm a poor student dealing with a shit exhange rate in a posh area. Sticking to my self-imposed 60 pound a week budget is really difficult

Hell, if it's cheaper in the northwest, I'll ride the damn tube out there!

 

[COCKLES]

Tescos is the Walmart of the UK at the moment. Record profits. Whilst Sainsburys have had big losses.

Well what do you expect when you get a cunt like Jamie Oliver to advertise your wares?

And besides, Sainsburys MUST DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH for introducing the barbacue infused scotch egg for only 2 months last year, getting me hooked on them AND THEN PHASING THEM OUT TO NON-EXISTANCE! Fucking bitches!!!

Yeah but think of all the post totty debutantes and horsey riding set girls you get to fuck though!

I'll have to arrange a Gaming Age / PSP showdown meet over summer for all UK GAFfers...I never knew there was so many of us. :lol

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I'm lucky to have a marketplace on my doorstep. I can go out with £2 and come back with 3 big bagsful of produce. For anything else than fruit & veg and meat, I go to Sainsburys. I only go to ASDA for the smartprice basics. Tesco really shoot themselves in the foot with their online price checker. 9 times out of 10 they're beaten on price, even at Sainsburys!

 

[The Fronde]

You ain't kidding. I actually saw a kid riding a horse down the sidewalk. He also seemed to have this pony with him that no one was riding. A FUCKING SPARE PONY.

London and the UK have been great so far. I'm only here until May though. I'll definitely miss it here. I hope to come back.

Geant in France or Hieber in Germany depending if we want cheap wine or cheap beer.
