Where do YOU shop for groceries?

I shop a little bit of everywhere. I work at a health food store and get 25% off grocery items, so I usually get my cooking oil, nut milk, bulk nuts, kombucha, ice-cream-alternatives, candy, spices, and dry goods (beans, oats, ect.) at work. I get 95% of my meat at a local butcher that sources everything from local, organic farms. I get a few vegetables from the farmer's market, but it's currently only being held once a month until the weather warms up, so I'm getting most of my vegetables at either Walmart, Kroger, or Food Lion.

Winco for bi-weekly grocery shopping. Raley's for anything I need to pick up in between. I'm in Nevada.

I'm in Kansas. We use Fresh Market, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, Dillons (Kroger) and Costco.

Middle TN here.... Mostly Aldi, Kroger, Costco and Whole Foods. Once in a blue moon Walmart.

Kroger and Fresh Market. I live in southern OH.

Mainly Kroger's, Sam's club and Trader Joes, occasionally at Walmart. I like the selections at Whole Foods, but hate that they won't accept a personal check....I like to track how much I spend on groceries. I would love to belong to a co-op though. I live in the Hoosier state.

I shop at Redner's, Wegman's, Trader Joes, Sometimes I will pick up a few things at Giant.

Trader joes for a lot of my favorites

Carly cs (incredibly cheaper meat prices like less than half what other grocers charge),

a little at Food Lion since it's close,

Target,

only a few things occasionally from Whole Foods like bulk items that are still not so easily found,

Aldi sometimes depending on their stock and whether it's past use by date....

other stores like Kroger and Harris teeter only occasionally if I'm near one.

Lowe's Foods although less now that we moved and not near one.

Asian market for super cheap greens, tofu and sometimes other things.

Walmart as little as possible. They are much more expensive for almost all items and their meat and produce sucks really bad to the point of sometimes being rotten in the store (the smell omg) - but they do have the lowest price on my shredded wheat n bran cereal and sometimes on laughing cow cheese. I stock up so I dont have to go in there much.

I'm in NC south of Raleigh. Oh and farmers markets are generally way overpriced here. Occasionally you see a little real farmstand where they have decent prices.

I hate grocery shopping because it's an all-day deal. Shop the sales, which usually includes a minimum of 3 stores. Then we do Sam's Club, then Aldi, then Wal-Mart. If it's Saturday, we go to the Sarah Lee outlet shop for bread. So annoying.

My friends are all jealous, they wish their husbands would go shopping with them. I tell them to be careful what they wish for. LOL I would love to do the shopping by myself, but my husband, I think sometimes he used to be female in a past life or something because he loves shopping. He gets all silly and giddy over deals. It's gotten a little better because our twins are old enough to stay home now, so at least I don't have to deal with their constant whining and complaining. We used to dub shopping day, The Misery Tour.

Luckily, the all-day shopping is usually only once, maybe twice a month. Weekly, we do Aldi and Walmart, unless someone has a good deal on something somewhere.

I shop at the local Fareway and Walmart Super Store --I seldom get to larger towns to try Sam's or Hy-Vee--I live in Iowa

Here in Toronto I do shop a lot at the common grocery chains (4 are within walking distance) and once a month or so make a run to Costco.

But we also buy a lot of groceries at the Asian Markets/Grocers (T&T, Al Premium, Sunnymart). The produce typically is nicer but more importantly, prices are much cheaper for staples that would be considered "exotic" in a standard grocery store if they carried them at all. Mushrooms (shitake, king oyster, oyster, beech) would be less than 1/2 price. Same with the greens. Of course, we wouldn't find amaranth or snow pea greens outside these stores. Same with some of the roots like Galangal or lesser galangal. This is where we'd also get our jackfruit, soursop, longan....

I'm in Ottawa so finding things like different curry pastes, better basmati rice, and some Asian ingredients a challenge...we have a T&T thank goodness! I go and stock up the pantry (and get a huge sushi platter as a treat too!)
I was thrilled when I discovered galangal @ Superstore!!!
For the usual groceries I tend to go to Food Basics, Superstore, Walmart, and Farm Boy (a more upscale grocer in the Ottawa region).

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?

^^Minnesotan, right?

Cub, Target and Sam's. A HyVee is opening by work soon and I will probably stop by when it does.
Buy a lot of meat @ Von Hanson's

For standard shopping Wemgans and Costco. Giant if I'm at my boyfriend's house. Then trips to specialty stores once ever few months - h-Mart, a Sri Lankan grocer (my boyfriend is Sri Lankan and won't eat American/western rice. Ever.), and an Indian grocer. In the summer we add a farmer's market to the mix.
