    Sprouts for the most amazing produce, nuts, and bulk food. Safeway or Albertsons for staple. I shop sales for things like eggs and cheese.

    Quality Foods
    Save-on Foods
    Safeway (sometimes)
    We also have a bulk organics store called Ecossentials - I probably shop there the most out of anywhere :)

    Fruit and veg, my local greengrocer as everything is locally sourced and organic. Meat from my local butcher, again all locally sourced and organic is available. Holland and Barrett for specialist flours like coconut flour, also for nuts and seeds, and supplements, everything else is from Sainsbury's, even fresh fish as we have no local fish monger. If I'm running late I will grab something from M&S but they are the only places I will shop.

    Wal Mart or Homeland - because they're the only stores in town. Beef comes from the slaughter house once a year. Tried our farmers market and it's a joke.

    I go to Kroger, Sam's Club, & Walmart because they are in my neighborhood. Hopefully a Publix will be moving into my neighborhood soon & I can go there almost exclusively.

    Weekly:

    Shop Rite (traditional grocery store--pretty good prices)
    A couple of small independent natural food stores
    The Meat Market (local milk and bread for my kids, plus turkey for the cats)
    Fresh Market

    Monthly or so:

    Whole Foods
    Asian and Indian markets
    Trader Joe's

    Oops, I forgot to say why I shop where I do. My husband and I are mostly vegan, and I like buying as much as I can without packaging at all. I bring my own cloth bags for produce and items in bulk bins. I try to minimize the amount of waste produced by our home. My kids are vegetarian, and I buy them local milk in recyclable glass bottles. I also buy the cats meat at the Meat Market, which as a vegan, makes me feel a bit like going to the dark side, but everyone is super nice and I like that I can look up the farm where the turkeys were raised. About once a month, I go 30 minutes out of my way to a city with specialty markets. I stock up on non-perishables and as much fresh produce as I can buy without going overboard and ending up throwing some out.

    Target

    Walmart.

    Pick N Save. probably shop mainly at pick n save, since its close to my house. but I do target a lot as well, they have a good food section, and its cheaper.

    I hate to say it, but a lot of the time we go to walmart. We live 60 miles from town and usually only make it in once a week, on Fridays after work. Most of the specialty and natural markets close before we are ready to get groceries. We hit all of our other errands and it's a game of race the clock and groceries are the last thing that we stop for on the way home.

    Occasionally we aim for produce at Costco but don't often make it before closing. We also get a lot of our chicken from Schwans delivery.

    There is a new natural market opening, I'm hoping they will have later hours.

    I do the bulk of my shopping at Market Basket....a New England chain. Its super cheap. Sometimes I splurge at Whole Foods though.

    Kroger - they DO have the best produce
    Albertsons - has good meat and good prices
    Walmart - only place that carries the low carb bread that I like, is very close to my house, and open 24/7, which is handy.

    Asda mainly because my sister works there so we get a discount and she can just pick stuff up after work. Other main place (and where I prefer) is Morrisons which is walking distance form my house and has far superior produce, fresh bread and meats (normally anyway).
    Occasionally I'll shop at Tesco (I have a loyalty card from when it was my main shopping place at Uni) or even more rarely (if I'm feeling rich) Sainbury's or M&S.

    Kroger Grocery store for everyday things and Dekalb International Farmers Market for certain fresh veggies, fruits, and breads in Decatur, GA and whole foods for fresh lemongrass! :-) If you live in the Atlanta, Decatur area and you have not been to the Dekalb farmers market, you are definitely missing an awesome, eye-opening experience!! Go, go, go!!
