    In Scotland I regularly shop at Sainsburys, Morrisons, Tesco (sometimes) Aldi or Lidl rarely unless an offer looks good. Hate Asda (owned by Walmart) If I'm feeling really rich Waitrose

    Mostly at Hy-Vee since I work in the pharmacy there and it's convenient.

    Whole Foods for all my dairy and most of my fish, as well as some of my meat. I'm especially a fan of those frozen club packs - wild salmon, chicken breasts, etc.

    I have been experimenting with buying clubs and farm to table operations, because they have the same or higher quality of WholeFoods at a lower price. But they get complicated because you have to order ahead and there's always a weird pic up process, like only between 6-7p on a Tuesday. I generally can't fit it into my schedule to do it regularly.

    And then I basically rotate between ethnic food stores for vegetables and everything else. Mexican and Korean are the most common stores, though I occasionally go to Chinese markets (where I can't figure out what the hell is going on usually) or Vietnamese markets.

    I have our family staples delivered by Hy-Vee once a week. This covers our grains, frozen fruits and veggies, the husbands' meat products and my meat alternatives (if I'm buying any). In season, we get a weekly CSA for our fruits and veggies, and the produce I get at our local market a couple times a week.
    @chunky_pinup

    I love the delivery feature they offer now at Hyvee...it's only been available here in the Midwest for a couple months but it makes it handy at times!

    I mainly shop Kroger and Meijer for my everyday needs according to what's on sale, a local asian grocery store for my specialty needs (I refuse to pay $$$ for components to make dashi stock, no thank you Whole Foods), and very rarely Fresh Market for when things like sea bass and sashimi grade tuna go on sale.

    When I was farther south I shopped at Bi-Lo and Publix and between the two I did very well to keep costs down but eat very well, even brand name stuff (Publix's coupon policy is GREAT).

    Most of our groceries/staples come from the military commissary. I stop weekly at Harris Teeter for coupon deals. About once a month we pick up a few items from Sam's club.

    I think it's so interesting how every state/country has different grocery stores. I shop at Target, Aldi, HyVee, Cub Foods, Trader Joes, Whole Foods and Lunds & Byerlys. Where do you guys shop?

    Woolworths, mostly
    Coles, occasionally
    Hill Street Grocers (IGA), for bits and pieces because they are within walking distance of home
    Salamanca Fresh, for fresh fruit and veg for work, and occasionally a few other items, because they are within walking distance of work
    Various Asian Markets and Bulk Food shops ... for Asian food and sometimes TVP.

    95% of our grocery shopping is done at Costco. We go to Sprouts and occasionally Albertson's for little things here and there like green onions, jalapenos, ginger, etc.
