Texasdeb | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 05:32 pm     I shop @ United or Albertson's. Would shop @ Kroger but my city doesn't have one. |
Twiggyish | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Publix has the best commercials, too. They always have families doing things together. One commercial had an older couple making a delicious meal for the new couple moving in the neighborhood. |
Daydreamer | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:54 pm     Aww, Twiggy I love that commercial! That older couple was adorable. I haven't seen it in a while but it was so cute. I love their holiday commercials too. |
Mak1 | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 08:18 pm     no Tabby, no piggly wiggly in maine...S. King has a home in FL too. |
Nicoleme | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 05:13 am     you beat me to it Mak1~ nope, no piggly wigglys here... we do have Hannaford, which used to be Shop and Save and we have Shaws in the area. |
Kady | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 12:01 pm     I like Brookshire's. It is close to home, friendly, and clean. They also bag your groceries and load them in your car. |
Sasman | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 12:20 pm     I love Pubix in FL. |
Eliz87 | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 12:27 pm     When I stayed down in South Carolina for a couple of months, I LOVED Piggly Wiggly. There was also a Walmart Superstore that I frequented. We don't have either around here in Ohio. Now that I'm home again, I go to Giant Eagle. But I also like the deals at Aldi and Save-A-Lot. But I stick to Giant Eagle for the name brand stuff that I like. |
Whoami | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 01:32 pm     Our main grocery stores are King Soopers, Safeway and Albertsons. No Piggly Wiggly here either. Never even heard of Publix. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 02:57 pm     Who, when you visit Florida you can check it out. |
Mware | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 04:01 pm     Anyone notice that Sasman skipped a letter? |

Apriljo | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 04:20 pm     i like brookshire's cuz they have those cute bagboys that take your grocery's to your car |
Babyruth | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 05:39 pm     Hey, that's Kramer's license plate! |
Sasman | Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 10:01 am     BR, kman wanted to use sasman but had to change it because of copywrite infringements! you could look it up!!!! |
Colordeagua | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 05:18 pm     Jewel / Osco until they started charging 50 cents more than Cub Foods for a 1 liter bottle of seltzer water (I like bubbubbubbubbles). Cub now gets my $$$. |
Allietex | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 10:33 pm     HEB (stands for Howard E. Butt) I believe it is a Texas chain only. |
Mack | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 03:42 am     HEB is okay but it's basically the only chain in town (San Antonio). They've pretty much run everybody else out of here. There are a few "super" Targets and Walmarts but nothing close to the market coverage that HEB has here. First place I've ever lived with this small of choice. Thank goodness HEB is a fairly decent chain and doesn't seem to be taking too big of an advantage as basically the only store in town. |
Reader234 | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 04:24 am     HI COLORDEAGUA!! I'm in the Chicago area and I loved Dominicks before they were bought out by Safeway!! I'll hit Jewel, Cub Foods, and even up in Gurnee we have a Piggley Wiggley!! Welcome to the boards, hope to see you more often!! |
Cinderella | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 05:05 pm     Tom Thumb, here (aka Randall's - now owned by Safeway)....but LOVED good ole' H.E. Butt when I lived further south....(all TX chains) |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 06:05 pm     Here in Bremerton we've got Safeways, Albertsons, FredMeyers, QFC, and a Red Apple. When I was a teenager we had 2 Piggly Wiggly's in our town (Tacoma WA ) |
Meridian | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 06:28 am     Publix tops my list for the grocery. However, I do shop at Milam's, Whole Foods, and Sedano's. The supermarket I do NOT care for is Winn-Dixie. Their stores are incredibly dirty, shabby, and unorganised. Their employees are not only unknowledgeable and unwilling to lend assistance, they are surly and argumentative. What I look for is cleanliness, order, cooperation, and pleasant attitudes. There is far too much competition here in Florida for any chain to neglect an opportunity to keep a customer. |
Bigsister | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 09:20 am     I shop at Kroger and I am amazed that so far no one else has said they shop there. I was under the impression that Kroger was one of the nation's largest Supermarket chains. Was I wrong? |
Gadzooks | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 10:44 pm     Hi, I'm a Canadian living very close to the Vermont border. Every year I cross the border around this time to buy a Thanksgiving Turkey. Could anyone tell me if the turkeys are on sale this week? I don't get the store flyers. I usually shop at Shaw's, Price Chopper and Hannaford's. |
Lostintheglades | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 08:00 am     I agree with you completely Meridian. I never shop at Winn Dixie for those reasons you mentioned. I do go to Sams or Costco once a month but anything I need between those times I always go to Publix. I don't think Kroger exists in Florida Bigsister. I shopped there when I lived in Augusta, GA...but before that I'd never heard of them. |
Daydreamer | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 08:42 am     Every Winn Dixie I've ever been in was dirty. I won't even tell you what I saw inside the deli counter once. Let's just say I never went back to that store again. I used to shop at Kroger when I lived in Nashville, but I've never seen one in Florida either. |
Landi | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 09:30 am     here in Northern California we have Albertsons, Safeway, Ralph's and Raleys. i go to one of those for things like toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Trader Joe's for milk/bread/cheese/juice and organic kinds of foods. And a FABULOUS local chain called Vallergas for produce and meat and deli food. |
Mamie316 | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 09:07 pm     Landi, I shop at Raley's. I like that they actually still take the products out of your cart for you as they ring. I do also like Trader Joes. I like their variety. |
Lostintheglades | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 04:26 am     Cringes at the thought of what Daydreamer may have seen inside the deli counter at Winn Dixie and promptly changes the subject.... Cheese cake anyone? |
Pannie | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 09:55 pm     I shop at Raley's for their service and organic foods. There is also a new locally-owned specialty grocer here called Bry's. Perhaps it is like Trader Joe's or a mini Dean and Deluca. |
