I'm in the Maryland area. I have become a fan of Aldi & Lidl. Definitely cheaper than the big names. The clones may not taste exactly the same but they are good enough for me and sometimes better. I have given up on Wegmans. They just push their own brands and the organic crap and its basically the same thing but more expensive

For groceries Publix although I prefer Winn Dixie y’all.

I love Aldi but only for certain things: canned veggies, tortillas, bread, buns, milk, eggs, cheese, butter, some frozen things (their frozen pizza brand sucks ass), ice cream. Not a fan of their fresh produce.

is aldi the place with the coin operated shopping carts?

In Texas, Tom Thumb for basics and Central Market for meats and produce. Arizona, Safeway and Whole Foods

Yes, it is to make the lazy fucks return the carts.

Around here we have a Walmart, dollar fresh, (owned by HyVee but just a basic grocery store) and one independent grocery store.

We also have a local butcher who sources their meat from local producers. I go there about twice a year to fill my freezer.

We don't have those here but I hear good things about them, especially the sandwiches. My sister is in Alabama and really likes them.

You might get some more Aldi's. I think Winn-Dixie closed number of stores and Aldi is moving into them.

Yeah, I haven't liked their Mama Cozzi pizza much. I tried a take and bake from them a couple months and broke a fucking tooth on the crust. Crust wasn't much more that a big tortilla where the edges turned into concrete.

One thing I do really like is both stores have clones of the Girls Scout Samoa cookies. So damn good..

We have Safeway's & Whole Foods here but I don't go to them much.

Another store I go to now and then is Shoppers. They used to be a lot bigger, but have closed a lot of stores. They wanted to focus more on wholesaling. They seem to have slowed down on that though. There are still a couple around that happened closed which kind of surprises me.

I'll hit up Pick n Sav for little things and the discount meat because when the hell did beef hit 24/lb? And walmart for everything else. If i was closer I'd go to Woodman's. Better quality and better pricing.




And the booze department is huge.
