    Wal-Mart is closest and gets 99% of my grocery spending. I got to Albertson's for one rarely purchased item, and I occasionally visit Sprouts and Whole Foods when I'm not able to find what I want at WM.

    Utah- Walmart and Macys. I said I was going to shop at Natural Grocers so much when they first opened... that hasn't happened. Too pricey.

    Fred Meyer (Kroger). Local butcher shop. Local el mercado. Seasonal farmers' market if I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and a desire to deal with the wad of humanity it inevitably attracts.

    Admittedly, after stopping all shopping there in 2001, I started buying my tea (Twinings) and cream at the local Walmart a couple months ago after Freddy finally priced me out on both.

    Heh, I see Utah has a grocery store by that name.

    I was thinking, you know, Macy's, the department store, which (here anyway, in the location formerly known as Marshall Field's) has a fine foods section with lots of overpriced stuff, wine, and chocolates, and wondering how expensive Natural Grocers could be to be pricier than Macy's!

    Here in Upstate NY I go to Hannaford for mostly everything. Price Chopper (Market 32) for some things like raspberries and good beer/hard cider selections. Local farm stands/farmers' markets for produce sometimes.

    I used to live in Western Mass and I just got so nostalgic seeing Price Chopper and Big Y.

    Central Virginia, at Walmart. I'll consider going somewhere else, when everyone stops being turbowhiners about my 1911.

    Price Chopper was where we'd go for a grocery run in college.

    I buy my food almost every where it's sold in my community but I pick and choose what to buy at each location based on price, selection, availability, cost and convenience.

    I live in the SF Bay Area in CA so for me that primarily means Costco, WinCo, Safeway, Raleys, Sprouts, FoodMax, Smart & Final, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, the weekly Farmer's Market and local farm stands.

    Food is also available at Walmart and Target but I don't like buying food there because those stores are not convenient to me, the store/parking lots tend to be too crowded and price/availability is not much different than elsewhere.

    Currently I shop at Kroger, as it's only a couple miles from home so I can walk there if I want. Though I just found out today that they're building an Aldi much closer to home so I may start shopping there once it opens up [that location's only a mile away].

    Eastern TN btw.

    I've been going to Aldi's a lot lately. The prices are cheap, and everything that I've tried from them so far has been great. The gluten-free soft baked cookies are just like Enjoy Life's, and about half the price. The produce is always really fresh, and I can get wild-caught sockeye salmon and grassfed ground beef for cheaper than anywhere else. I just wish that they would start getting in organic chicken and humanely-raised bacon. Then, I wouldn't have to go all around town to visit 3-4 different stores to get the meat I want.

    I usually stop by Food Lion on my way home from Aldi's for the odds and ends that they didn't have. Mostly just fresh herbs, chewing gum (Aldi's only has the blister-pack-style gum, which I hate), and any specialty produce that I wanted.

    Kroger is for special trips only, since I'm never able to leave the store without spending AT LEAST $200.

    I live in Florida, so I buy my groceries at Publix and Walmart. And sometimes Target. I work at a Publix, so sometimes I do a bit of grocery shopping there before or after work.

    Mostly Sprouts Farmer's Market (for vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruit, meats, dairy etc.).
    Smiths/Kroger for anything we can't get at Sprouts.
    TJs for a few special things.
