How often do you go grocery shopping, and where is your go-to store?

[smahala1991]

I usually like to go twice a week. Usually, I shop at a regional chain here called Ingles. But they are sometimes higher in price, so I'll shop at Dollar General or Walmart via mobile app for delivery. Publix is also another favorite of mine

I do one big shopping trip a week - I either go to lidl, netto or rema1000 for that.

Then for the things I need in between - veggies, fruit, milk and such highly depends on the prices that current week. I go where it is cheapest. How often I go for that depends on the week.

[smahala1991]

We have Lidl and Aldi here too. Honestly I like Aldi and Lidl

[dovendyret]

We're losing Aldi - end of this year, there is no more of those in Denmark, they don't get used that much.

[smahala1991]

They are becoming all the rage in the USA

We are within a mile or two of a Safeway/Jewel, Mariano/Kroger, Tony (local chain), and Aldi. On Tuesday I plot the shopping for the Wednesday to next Tuesday store cycle in our region. I'll skim the sales at the SJ, MK and T, and fill in with the staples at Aldi. I work at a food pantry and usually get some produce leftovers, bread, and cheese from there as well. We're getting by.

Each store has its good and bad areas. At Tony, I will almost never try to get "critical" meats (Christmas roast, for example)- they try to hide the fat and the bad sides on the bottom, etc. Plus, to get their deals, they make you buy 3-4-5 or more of an item. I believe in having a few extra items in the closet, but they are just getting greedy.

Usually every 10 days...

somewhere in between every week or every second week, depending how our work is.

We usually go to a store selling food thats been thrown away by other stores, its half price or less, but its still good and prevents or reduces waste.

But as this store doesn't have all items, we go to Lidl for the stuff which wasn't avalable.

Usually once a week or fortnight depending on what’s needed, and I go to Countdown. It’s a little more pricey than PaknSave, but I’m less likely to run into anyone I know at Countdown so I find it better for my social anxiety.

[smahala1991]

Is Countdown like a lower price store?

[petitedollbabee]

From cheapest to most expensive the supermarkets go: PaknSave, Countdown & then New World. PaknSave is the cheapest so everyone goes there, so I go to Countdown, which is more expensive but still cheaper than New World.

We got to Krogers, Meijers, Walmart, Aldis, Sam's Club, and Costco. I'm going to one of them soon.

[smahala1991]

Kroger is a good one

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I like Aldis because they have good snack foods.

[smahala1991]

They do and cheap knockoff of velveeta

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Plus, a bag of Clancy's puffs is probably cheaper than Cheetos puffs. But Clancy's is just a bit healthier version of junk/snack food.

[LiamJHayden]

I generally go about once per week. I prefer Mother's Market, Trader Joe's, and Sprouts.

[smahala1991]

I take it you're more of an organic shopper am i right?

[NathanDavis]

every week... is Costco week

[smahala1991]

I do love the free samples and cheap hotdogs

[NathanDavis]

I spray away anything free... with Lysol

[artsy_dragon]

Once a week for a big shop and any other times I need something during the week. It can be Morrisons, Iceland, Aldington or Tesco

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

About twice or three times a week

[Pink2000]

Once a week

Crest , Walmart, & Winco

[smahala1991]

[Pink2000]
