We have WalMart or HEB, our regional chain here in Texas. Both of them suck, especially when the Lone Star (EBT) cards are recharged.

We had Albertson's, but they were too pricy.

We're supposed to be getting a nicer HEB soon.

Market Basket, cheap, alot of Ebt'er's
Walmart I work there, so obviously I shop there as well
Shaws and Hannafords, can be pricey
Trader Joe's is expensive, BUT has good prices on wines
McKinnons rocks all the way!!!!

I haven't been to a Wal-Mart for groceries since I moved from the DFW area but the Wal-Mart I frequently went to in Highland Village had an awesome produce section.

But this Wal-Mart isn't an ordinary Wal-mart. If anyone wants to take a look at it click the LINK

That looks like one of the updated Wal-Marts.  They've done that to about half of the Supercenters they have around here, maybe more- I haven't visited all of them lately.  They look much better this way.

We're supposed to be getting a nicer HEB soon.

When I lived in Killeen (Ft Hood) I had my choice between two nearby HEBs and the Comissary.

I thought of the HEBs as "the good one" and "the grungy one."  Others in my circle called the grungy one "the barefoot HEB".

This was in 1995 to 1999.  Don't know what has happened to quality across the board since then.

Walmart, Harris Teeter, Lowes Food and the wobbly hog (piggly wiggly )

All great stores and each has its purpose

We only have three large grocery stores here.  Walmart, Kroger and County Market which is a more regional one, I think.  Kroger is the more expensive of the three.

None of them are any fun during the first week of the month.
