    Giant is the nearest grocery store, so we occasionally get some stuff there. Weekly trips to Produce Junction or farmers markets for veggies and fruit. Once a month trips to Wegman's and Trader Joe's for pantry items.

    Are you in PA? I go to Produce Junction sometimes... :D

    Aldi's has changed my life. lol. Fresh fruit and vegetables that are just so much more affordable. Lean meats and ground turkey that don't break the bank, and a whole line of fit and active products and organic products that are to die for. Sometimes I do shop at food lion but that's only because it's closer to my house and I always cringe when I check out because I'm so use to getting more for less.

    I'm in Kroger country in Ohio. I also shop Aldi and a local place called Jungle Jim's. It's a great for international foods and an extensive produce selection. Plus more craft beer than you can handle. :smile:

    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!

    Isn't it great?! It's so convenient (no stress of a toddler meltdown in line to pay, lol) AND I save money (and my waistline) because if I'm ordering everything online to pick up, I'm not tempted to fill my cart with impulse buys...I stick to my list and that's it! I'm in the Midwest too...and the benefit of driving up to the store and having them bring your order to your car without having to bundle up the family to walk through the cold is great in the winter, too.

    Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Kroger, Meijer

    I love Meijer! So happy they're opening some in Minnesota!

    I love Meijer too -- one of the things I miss about Michigan.

    My parents do too -- for them (and when I'm there) it's Winco, Costco, and Safeway, plus farmers markets in season. Beautiful area.

    I live in a small town and all we have is a QFC (Kroger), but they are so expensive that it actually pays to drive about 35 miles away, once a month, to Wal-Mart first and Costco second. The only things I buy locally, are produce or when I need something right away.

    Sounds familiar except we also had a Haggen, but Haggen is also stupid expensive unless you stick only to the loss leaders. It was shocking to me how expensive Kroger owned stores are out here. Back in the midwest, Kroger is comparable with Winco as far as pricing for a lot of their items. I had a lot of grocery budget sadz my first two years out here in the PNW until they opened up the first Winco within reasonable driving distance. Their bulk section is...EVERY GROCERY STORE NEEDS THIS.

    Talking about store delivery or pick up...I'm waaaaaaay too OCD for that. Someone else picking out my produce gives my anxiety. And I have to check the expiration dates. :smiley:

    Sainsburys, I also have to buy a few bits a pieces online because my sainsburys doesn't have things like jackfruit and nutritional yeast :)

    Mainly Meijer. Sometimes Schnucks. Farmers market and my garden in the summer. Just opened an aldi nearby. Excited to check that out. Northern Illinois
    I'm missing HyVee and Cub foods in Minnesota since moving three years ago!

    Waiting for somebody from Georgia to say OK Kroger, sketchy Kroger, terrifyingly sketchy Kroger, Piggly Wiggly or Publix! LOL

    I live in Orange county California. I shop at Costco, Stater bros, Mother's Market and Trader Joe's for my food. I find that I can find frozen and fresh berries cheaper at Costco and not to mention, I love their pre-portioned fish (mahi mahi and salmon). I get my specialty and organic foods at MM and TJs.

    Am I greedy for wanting Aldi to come to CA? We already have freakin' everything but just look how cute this place is:

    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?

    75% at Fred Meyer's (Krogers) and 25% at Costco. Once in a great while I'll stop by Trader Joe's.

    I live in NJ. Shop-Rite (it's closest to my apartment) and sometimes Stop&Shop (for certain items Shop-Rite doesn't have). Whole Foods before Thanksgiving and Christmas (we're vegetarian, but our tradition is to have vegan holiday meals, and they have certain helpful items for that). I also order a few staples online -- unflavored pea protein powder, shelf-stable tofu, and powdered coconut milk.

    I don't have a car, so once a month or so I order from Peapod (which is Giant's delivery), mostly for pamtry items. In between I go to the farmer's market, a tiny produce place down stairs from my apartment, and occasionally Trader Joe's if a friend is going and I get a ride:)

    Walmart and Wegmans for produce. I go to a local grocery store that cuts it's own meat for hamburger because Walmart's meat is gross.

    Wal-Mart (where I buy the majority of my groceries)

    @shinycrazy I'm sooooooo jealous! We're about an hour from Jungle Jim's but only get down there about once a year for the Weekend of Fire. I absolutely LOVE that place <3<3<3

    I'm in the minority. I absolutely can't stand Aldi's.
