Errr...local co-op for fresh stuff, Hannafords for most grocery stuff...and Sam's Club every now and then for bulk...and while we're at it, will check out Target and Walmart...make the most of the hours drive and all that

Oh, also check out, but hardly ever get anything at JC Penny's and Filennes..the missus gets her work clothes for NY and Co.

Whats co-op (dont get them down in TN)? I take it is not the same as the ones in the UK?

ironporer

Still banned from WinnDixie Ray?

As for us-
Grocerys and such- WalMart Supercenter and Publix
Veggies/Fruit- Local greengrocer (FatBoys Farmer's Market)
Clothes etc- Sears, Penny's, WalMart

Schnorbitz

Groceries - Walmart, CostCo, Safeway
Electricals - Best Buy, Ultimate (play the two against each other for price!)
Clothes - JCPenny, Kohls, Gap, Banana Republic, Pac Sun

I have to admire the moralistic who won't shop in Walmart. Guess I'm fickle but I go where I'm going to get the best deal and save some money. Crude but simple! Plus my wife gets a 10% discount in Walmart as she is still on career break with Asda

Bob

same idea, in that it is a co-operative, but not like the naff grocery store in the UK...it's, well around here, all organic or locally grown produce, well not all of it, but as much as possible...superb fruit/veg/meat...and great choice of foreign booze...and lovely cheese and proper milk too...somethings aren't cheap, but then some are a lot cheaper, and also get members discount, which is nice

Groceries: Sam's club (mainly for household goods for cleaning etc), Target and O'malias food market (occasionally kroger if im picking something up quickly).

Electricals: Best Buy, Circuit city maybe sears (all depends on what we need and who has it lol)

Clothes: Kohls, jcpenney, Ny and company, Express, general mall stores

Not a huge fan of walmart, don't go there to food shop, usually go in there if im looking for something some what practical (bought our grill there). Prefer Target for food shopping big time. O malias for me has a nice butcher and deli counter, so go there for that stuff.

Bob

So what's Safeway like? take it not like back in blighty? and Publix?

Oh...and anyone miss Icelands? cracking pizza and ice-cream deals, miss those

Bob

We're a bit sad, but as the local walmart, well in ever direction is at least 45-60 mins drive away, we normally pop in for a look around when we're near one, don't go to them specifically, but they do have good deal on mach 3 razor blades and fructose shampoo, which both seems really expensive everywhere else..

.....sad really, but it's mostly walmart superstore for food and most other things...have a look in Kroger's,Cubs and Schnuck's(for food) every now and then,but the only thing that seems different to walmart for most everything thing is the price,at least round here!(Bloomington,IL)....there's a Mejers super store opening at the end of April,I've heard lots about how much better than walmart they are,so I'm waiting to get in there!....clothes are sometimes walmart or Target or Kohl's...Sophia

For me it is not a moral issue, I love saving money however for me it is worth the few cents extra I may at Meijers to shop in place where the stock is on the shelves instead of scattered on the floor... usually a dirty floor at that. Not to mention the staff who look like they just got of jail or who should be in drug rehab. However in Walmarts defence... the one that we shopped at in Orlando (on sand lake rd) could not have been nicer.

I'm a meijers lad too.

although the one I went to in Flint last night didn't have any Pataks or other curry stuff, proper pissed me off.

Elsie The Maid

Mach 3 razor blades are MUCH cheaper at Sam's. I stock up on them there.

Ash UK/US

LOL... I can't do my weekly shop without a stroll down the international aisle. Couple of months back I bought a pataks ready meal... gotta say I was quite disappointed just stick to buying the jars and making my own in the future.

bob,

Publix is fantastic. Clean, extremely friendly efficient staff, always stocked up, brightly lit, a great place to shop, plus they have 2-for-1 deals all week now. They're open in the SE mostly. It is a FL market originally but have spread out the last years.

If I am mistaken, and I could be, the company is employee-owned. Ray might know more about it than I.

if you like veggie curry try Green Guru's Channa Masala, its quite fabulous..seriously the best curry I've eaten since I got here and it made my nose run which is always a good sign. I buy them from Henrys Farmers market in the frozen section but I think Wholefoods also sell them, if you don't have these stores, they are made by deep foods and their website is www.deepsbest.com, they have other ones which I haven't tried yet but I intend too.
