Hy-Vee. Where there's a helpful smile in every isle. And literally, they are the most accomodating people I have experienced. I love shopping there. I don't need a stupid "shopper's card" and if shit is on sale it is on sale for everyone. And I usally walk out of there with more groceries for the same price that I would at Price Chopper even with my Chopper Shopper Card.

If anyone lives in an area that has Wegmans, it's pretty much the greatest grocery store in the world.

Publix & Costco.

Going to a local farmers market tomorrow, though. Hopefully it's Awesome, like DaKCMan AP.

When I'm working in California I go to Trader Joes. Been to Ralphs in Southern California and those were nice, too.

It depends. There's a Jewel (local Chicago chain) that's closest, and that's where our bank and pharmacy are, but the Dominics (local chain owned by Safeway) is a nicer store and has better stuff, so we hit that one sometimes as well. We get bulk stuff at Costco. We also have two Super Targets and a 24 hour Meijer within a few miles. The grocery stores used to be 24 hours, but not anymore.

Once in a while we'll go to Trader Joe's, but that's on the other side of town and completely inconvenient. Neat store, though.

Kroger here. They are pretty solid on prices these days. Lots of the house brand and Red, White and Blue generics are excellent and cheap. The Kroger diet soda knock-offs like Dr.K and Citrus Drop (Dew) are as good as the "real" brands.

It honestly depends on what town I'm in. In the KC area It's HyVee because they have some very hot girls working at the one I go to. If I'm in Lawrence, I split carries with HyVee and Dillons. Walmart is less than a block away so if I'm cooking and need something I go there, or if I don't feel like driving or being out for very long.

We do most of our food shopping at Super Wal Mart. I hate the store and what they're about but you can't argue with the savings. It costs us approximately $200 a week at other places. I can get the same at WalMart for roughly $130. Until I start making more money it's the only option.

The local stores we have in my neck of the woods are Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Lowes Foods and Bi-Lo. Food Lion and Bi-Lo are a bit cheaper but Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods have nice gourmet items and nicer stores. I have tried it many different ways and I always manage to save at least $40 a week by shopping at Wal Mart. We clip coupons but don't run to different stores depending on what is on sale where, I don't have time for that.

Smiths, which is part of the Kroger chain.

I like Trader Joe's but the closest one is a 30 minute drive.

I hate the crowds and service at Walmart but I will go in there for certain items if it's early in the morning. No way do I buy meat and produce there.

Albertsons is the highest priced of the local chains, at least on items I regularly purchase.

Until about three years ago there were Raley's stores here. They're out of California. I was sorry to see them go. They had great service and selection and their prices were right in line with the rest.


Edit: I usually buy meats from a local store. The folks there are very knowledgeable, their prices are reasonable and they're close to home. I'd recommend that anyone who has a local butcher give them at least a try.

I also once considered a move to the Big Apple. My old company had a New York office, and back in '98 or '99 I was offered a $20,000 raise to relocate. One of my best friends lives on Staten Island, so while I was visiting him I started checking prices on various life things. Now, no way in hell could I have afforded to live in Manhattan, but (at least a decade ago) prices for things like gas, groceries, cigarettes and rent in Staten Island were fairly comparable to Chicago. The problems came from drastically increased commute times (1/2 hour to the ferry terminal, 1/2 hour across the harbor, 1/2 hour to midtown office, and that assumes it's a normal day) and the fact that New York is basically Chicago x 3 - three times the people, three times the congestion, three times the dirt and grime and every other goddamn thing. And since I'm not exactly a fan of Chicago for these reasons, I took a pass on the job and the move.

And I don't regret it one bit.

I'm looking into utilizing a small hobby farm to raise a beef, pig and lamb for slaughter. I'm going to also start making my own cheese this year. What's so hard about some milk and salt?

Wal-mart's a little further away and is in the middle of nowhere (135th and black bob IIRC), although it's easily the cheapest of the three. Price Chopper I usually avoid because it always seems more expensive, although it's the most convenient.

I used to shop at HyVee exclusively, but they closed the one I went to (Highland Plaza at 119th/69 hwy) and the one on 135th and antioch is similarly out of the way to wal-mart.

Probably 70% Walmart, 250% Dillons, and the rest various other places. We have been going in on butchering a cow every year with our friends who have a farm in Carthage, MO. SO, we're usually good on beef for the year with that. We also had a pig butchered a couple years ago. Amazingly better than the pork you buy in a store.

Does anyone else find it amazing that the lower banner advertisements on this site/board closely follow the thread's main topic? There are food shopping coupon ads on this one last I saw. That's some savvy marketing that this board has set up. Automated ads based on topics? Kinda interesting and neat.


i'm surprised that doesn't result in alot of toilet paper and sex product ads.

poop and sex is what this place is all about. :)

That's some high speed techno shit right there. I still don't understand the whole mouse clicky thing, so that's like fucking quantum astro-physics right there. Or a woman's emotional needs. Or why "wagon" is spelled like that. Some shit just is way beyond my understanding.

King Sooper!

I have a question: So I've only been out to Colorado in the summer. And the King Soopers have these huge-ass openings to them. But in the winter, they surely can't do that. How in the hell do they close it up? I didn't see any doors that slide down or anything.

I was going to ask if they have any regular Walmarts left. We don't have a Super Target, which I'm sure some of you might think is weird.Super Target? I've never heard of those. None around here. Not surprised though since Ohio kinda sux.

It's kind of like Super Wal-Mart, except the customers have teeth.

Probably 70% Walmart, 250% Dillons, and the rest various other places. We have been going in on butchering a cow every year with our friends who have a farm in Carthage, MO. SO, we're usually good on beef for the year with that. We also had a pig butchered a couple years ago. Amazingly better than the pork you buy in a store.

You must really love Dillons...

We shop at King Sooper and Safeway when we visit CO, and both are very nice places!

ok, can you remember this though, Jane 'the Milgram's spokesperson?' "hey neighbor" was their/her slogan. Jeez, where'd all of that time go?

Wasn't it Milgram's that used to give out the little game cards that coincided with the weekly horse races that were on TV on Saturdays in KC? Maybe that was Thriftway? Anyway I remember both of those stores...

When we were about 8 years old, me and some friends shoplifted a box of corn flakes from Milgrams. I have no idea why. I also have no idea why I remember it.

Perhaps Milgrams went out of business due to lax security.

Hen House for meats, because they have free-range local stuff.

Whole Foods for some produce.

That's pretty much all I buy.

We do most of our food shopping at Super Wal Mart. I hate the store and what they're about but you can't argue with the savings. It costs us approximately $200 a week at other places. I can get the same at WalMart for roughly $130. Until I start making more money it's the only option.

North Carolina must be a lot different than Iowa.

Kroger. I go probably 4 times a week.

Used to go to a walmart but it's not worth the hassle.

I occasionally go to Fresh Market, but their prices, limited selection and locations keep me from going there more often.

Yep I remember Skaggs too! They had one at Indian Springs when I was a kid- I think. That was in what is now known as The Dotte for those that never dared to travel north from the County or cross the river from the east. We actually had a Thriftway really close to us in the Highland Crest area of KCK. Oh the memories of loitering around that joint... :)
