Mostly Trader Joe’s and occasionally Whole Foods and Publix for things I can’t find there.

Same thing in the Midwest. Publix = Hy-Vee. Grocery stores are all monopoly’s. You have high end expensive, cheap ones and then the Publix or Hy-Vee’s have bought up all the competition in that part of the grocery market.

We usually do a lot of the shopping at Costco and hit the Hy-Vee or Price Chopper for other items.
Meat? We go through Zaycon. The freezer is filled with Chicken, Beef, Steaks and bacon. I hunt each year for Deer and every other year head out west for Elk. The Deer and the Elk, as well as rabbit and squirrel are kept in another freezer. I have noticed a "sort" of alarming trend, however. Go to the grocery store and see "clerks" pushing around carts and picking orders for those too damned lazy to do their own shopping...damned shame. I don't know - whatever works for you, I guess.. |

”Alarming”? Why? You think it’s food stamp/Freeloaders using these apps?

It’s not laziness, you doof. I can do a pickup and spend 5 minutes there instead of 45, AND I don’t have to go in the store, which I generally hate doing anyway. |

I park as close to the entrance of the store as I can, I immediately go directly to the items that I have on the list, no detours, pay for my shit, leave and come home as quickly as possible and bitch about how people can't drive while drinking a beer. My wife will take an hour and a half to get ready, take her list, go into the store, and two hours later come out with a cartload of shit that wasn't on the list, get mad at me when I ask about the shit on the list that she didn't get. Get madder at me when I ask her to take some of the un-needed shit she brought home back. Get even madder at me when I do it for her. |

I have Sprouts and Trader Joe’s on my way home but mostly go with a Whole Foods out of conscience that is less than a half mile away. I’ve looked into delivery services and may consider but mostly just get what I need for a night or two.

When I lived near Prairie Village I'd try to hit the Roeland Park Price Chopper on my way home to buy as much stuff as I could before the wife buys the same crap for 3x the price at Whole Foods or the Hen House market.
I usually let her know was there and she would text me repeatedly adding all kinds of things for me to pick up all over the store -- even after I had already left. Then we would usually get lazy and go out or order in four nights a week and all the produce would be wasted. |
