Morrisons an Aldi
I’ll shop anywhere, but for groceries, I mostly use Kroger and two local stores that specialize in produce. They’re expensive but they have nice product and I like splurging there every so often.
I do not go to Walmart for food. I don’t go there for anything unless it’s a last resort.
Walmart and Sprouts are our go to’s. Sprouts for produce and proteins. Walmart for everything else. I don’t like shopping there, but they are cheap.
I play the sales and coupon game at Kroger and I may not be getting the absolute lowest price, I’m sure I'm getting close. I’ll do a little work to stay out of Walmart, especially now that all the coupons are digital. I get all my ducks in a row before I go. Thankfully, it takes just a few minutes.
Savemart, Food Maxx, Grocery Outlet.
I’m sure there are more.
Savemart is my first pick here in the valley. Great meat, produce and seafood. Odd.
That's a long way.
Savemart here is 3/4 mile away and Raley's 1.75 miles. First and second choice.
Lidl was supposed to come here, but never showed up. That's ok. Back years ago, there was another German-owned chain that hit the area by storm. Stores suddenly opening up all over. I can't remember the name of it. It hit the fan, and pulled out. Their employees were getting disgusted, and spreading the inside info. The company was selling meat that sat for a long time unsold, taking it in back, and "regrinding", I.E., mixing new meat in with the old awful stuff, and putting it out for sale. Also bleaching meat to make it look and smell more pallatable (sp?). After some corporate "we aren't doing that!", and ex-employees saying "oh yes you DO!" they pulled out quick.I never go to Lidl. We went a couple of times after they opened to checking out and we were not at all impressed. Half the store isn’t even groceries. It’s a bunch of really cheap random crap. Aldi has the one aisle with stuff but it’s usually at least decent items.
