Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Is that a Kroger chain yet? They're expanding to every chain in the midwest like a tumor. So long Scott's of Indiana and Farmer Jack in Michigan.
Cheech Tremendous Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Whole Foods > Wild Oats > Zupans > New Seasons New Seasons just isn't my bag. My gf loves it though.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 I dig Zupans, but Whole Foods is way too corporate for me. I have a special attachment to Wild Oats because that was the first natural foods store I ever went to, back in Miami (where they're severely lacking, as you might imagine). New Seasons is a lot more involved with the community, and have more fair prices than the big chains. That said, I just came back from the Whole Foods on Burnside, so I can't really complain. So long as it's not the Safeway I live right next to. That place is hell.

Guest Vitamin X Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 Cute logo. Nice that they took the picture at the time that the deposit guys are coming to get the day's profits.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 we have crappy stores around here..probably because we have 2 Wal Mart 24 hour super centers to cater to the dumbass masses Food Lion, Giant (stop&shop up north) and Super Fresh (A&P up north). I went to one store up in NJ and had to pay a quarter to get a cart..dumbest concept ever.
Guest • Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 I think Aldi does that because then people can't steal their carts. You get your quarter back when you leave. I've never shopped at an Aldi. They're probably filthy inside. Small price to pay for 25-cent loaves of bread.
Hank Kingsley Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 I got the best fucking Margherita pizza at Wild Oats the other day. Yeah, man.
Dandy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 I do my grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Around here we have Kroger, Foodland, Aldi, Save-A-Lot, Food Fair, and a couple of local grocery stores that are not chains. We had several Big Bear stores before that chain closed. Wal-Mart has the better prices and selections, so I go there.
Vampiro69 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 In our area we have either Albertsons, SuperValu, and the Super Walmart.
Darthtiki Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Vons/Safeway and Nugget and Raley's/Bel Air in No-Cal
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 I love Trader Joe's, but the thing I don't like about them are their hours. I like to do my grocery shopping kinda late sometimes.
Darthtiki Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 I love Trader Joe's, but the thing I don't like about them are their hours. I like to do my grocery shopping kinda late sometimes. Likewise, also it seems that there aren't a whole lot of 24 hr markets in my area. You never know when you might want frozen pizza at 2 am, but then again I live in a crap area of town.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 Go hit up a gas station if you want some frozen pizza. They usually have em. Of course, not a good Trader Joe's one, but yeah. A craving's a craving.
godthedog Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 ukrops in richmond has exceptional stuff. really fresh fish.
Matt Young Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 We have Albertson's, Food 4 Less, Winco, Ralph's, Vons, and probably other places I have forgotten, along with various Mexican markets. Winco is great, because shit's cheap and they sell these killer footlong pound and a half Italian subs for under $4.
Cheech Tremendous Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 I tried to shop at Winco once. I swore I would never go back (and I've stuck to it).
swan Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE that's funny. was just there a couple hours ago. you from rockford? and yes Hilander was a local chain that was bought out by Kroger and Logli was also another local chain bought out by Schnucks. the best store for straight up groccerys is Woodmans, an employee owned chain based out of Wisconsin. they also do video rentals, photo processing, oil changes, car wash, gas, and photo development all right there.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 Publix is a good store. Absolutely. Their subs rival any major chain's.
Smartly Pretty Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 That's accurate if you exclude their tuna sandwiches. Way too much mayo.
