I shop @ United or Albertson's. Would shop @ Kroger but my city doesn't have one.

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.

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.

I like Brookshire's. It is close to home, friendly, and clean. They also bag your groceries and load them in your car. :)

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.

Our main grocery stores are King Soopers, Safeway and Albertsons.

No Piggly Wiggly here either. Never even heard of Publix.

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 $$$.

HEB (stands for Howard E. Butt) I believe it is a Texas chain only.

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.

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 )

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
