    local chain named price chopper.

    they do gas points for each 100 dollars you spend (it used to be 50)
    if you spend 100 dollars you gt 10 cents off each gallon of gas for a fillup of 20 gallons.

    When I need to fill my refrigerator and pantry, Wegman's. It's where beautiful people go to shop.

    Whole Foods and Trader Joe's if I want to grab something within biking distance.

    Kroger
    Wal-Mart (rarely)
    H-E-B (which is a Texas chain store)

    Kroger is my primary grocery store, then HEB. Don't like Wal-Mart but it's open 24/7 and that works for me.

    Price chopper, Wegmans, Kroger, Save-a-lot, HEB...All pretty large chains...Interesting. Haha.

    No Giant/Martins/Stop&Shop/Genardi's people?

    Trader joes but it's a long drive so I load up on their frozen veg and vegan items. Oh and raw nuts
    Everything else I buy at HyVee

    You mentioned stop and shop. When I lived in Connecticut - it was my favorite place to shop.

    Whole Foods/Publix/Target/Kroger

    When i lived in Louisiana, I shopped at Whole Foods and the local groceries like Rouses and Roberts.

    I do NOT give my money to Walmart. No matter what.

    Safeway, cause its closest.
    But we like to go to Wegmans for the selection and Trader Joes for the lower prices.

    Co-op, Extra foods,Sobeys. In that order. If I need something "super healthy" I go to Nutters.

    I get my produce from either Trader Joe's or Whole Foods (both within walking distance of my house). I buy the other items I need at Walmart because they are so cheap (but their produce sucks!)

    I just can't get over the fact that you ended that sentence with a preposition.

    No soup for you.

    Depends on what I need.

    Regular staples at Trader Joe's, Safeway, or Fred Meyer. They are close by ( 5-10 mins with traffic) and Safeway delivers if needed.

    Meat/Seafood/Veggies at Central Market, and bulk supplies (meat, toilet paper etc) at Costco, Costco is 5 mins from me, and CM is about 10 minutes so everything is relatively close.

    I love love love the variety of veg and meats at Cental Market tho, the quality and selection are to die for. Best seafood outside of going to Pike Place to get fresh fish imho. Slightly pricy, but to me its worth it for the taste difference.

    Fred Meyer (since I work there), Grocery Outlet (outlet store) and Cash & Carry (I can buy bulk here - they supply restaurants and such here) occasionally.

    Wegmans here. Occasional farmer's markets. I wish we had a Trader Joe's here!

    When I was in Cleveland it was Giant Eagle, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's... and the HUGE Public Market!

    I'm a Giant Eagle loyalist. If I need pantry staples, I usually go to Aldi's. For produce and meat I shop at a little local store which always have killer deals.

    Whole Foods primarily (I live pretty close to two of them). Kroger or Randall's (Safeway) for small purchases during the week since both are within a half mile of where I live.

    HEB is the only true grocery store here, I dont really like Walmart or Super Target for groceries, So it H-E-B Plus for me.

    Where's all the aldi's shoppers??? I get 90% of my stuff from aldi's they rock my world especially since they now have almond milk and Greek yogurt. I run into target and giant eagle for quick things because they are seconds from my condo and occasionally trader joes and world market for specialty stuff. Used to shop at Marc's (local discount grocery) a lot but aldi's now has so much of what I need I can cut out the Marc's trip

    Also aldi is owned by the same company as trader joes and frequently gets awesome stuff that trader joes has but even cheaper :)
