Food Lion seems ghetto but prices are less than HT, but HT is cleaner....I tend to go to HT more, though.

You?

BJ's for food and supplies in bulk, and HT for fresh/perishable foods.

12/8/2009 8:33:38 AM

Price chopper
Wegmans
Wal-Mart
Weis



In that order

The thing with BJ is that I tend to spend more than I want to EVERYTIME I go there!

The trick is to know exactly what you want before you go, but don't impulse buy anything else while you are there, and then it's a real bargain.

sometimes trader joes and whole foods - but sometimes whole foods is too organicy (although they have fucking awesome fresh fruit during the spring/summer)

12/8/2009 8:37:21 AM

Another trick is to just not eat so friggin' much.

I do like to raid my neighbors' fridges on occasion. One is an alcoholic who never eats, so she gives me food before it expires. The other one is 80 years old and doesn't eat enough, so she gives me huge tupperware containers of leftovers ... everything from pot roast to turkey stew to deviled eggs and more.

Dating is also a good way to avoid buying groceries.

12/8/2009 8:47:51 AM

i buy more groceries when i was dating - i'd cook all the time

12/8/2009 8:48:39 AM

for big grocery shopping trips i will go to wal-mart... but it's kinda out of the way, a few miles in the opposite direction of where i normally go when i leave home

just to pick up something after work, i go to harris teeter. just cause it's right on my way home from work. plus there are never really any lines

12/8/2009 8:49:17 AM

over the last year or so i've started going to the grocery store every three days or so, and only buying what i'll consume during that time

it's been good, gotten mostely to entirely away from boxed and processed foods, except for like, 1 loaf of bread every 3 trips or so.

fresh, local, and in season, ftw

When I have a boyfriend, this is definitely the case. But for a first or second date, I prefer to go out so I can figure out what kind of foods they like in the first place.

12/8/2009 8:56:25 AM

^ oh right, that makes sense

12/8/2009 8:57:09 AM

after the first few dates, cooking together is very sensual.

it's one of my favorite activites.

12/8/2009 8:57:59 AM

^^ Plus, food poisoning could make a bad first impression.

^ Most def. And guys absolutely eat it up.

12/8/2009 8:58:00 AM

^^ hawt

^ yes, poisoning a date would probably result in not being called back

12/8/2009 8:58:48 AM

Most of the women I've dated can't cook for shit, which means I do the cooking.

Of course you buy more while dating, you have to cook for 2 more often... However, I eat alot, so I always have a lot of food in the house.

Giant and Trader Joe's. Our Giant kind of sucks though, they don't carry a lot of the varieties of things that I like.

12/8/2009 10:01:27 AM

^oh, yeah?

Speaking of which, I need to head to HT

12/8/2009 10:09:09 AM

you should probably also go to hell

12/8/2009 10:09:57 AM

to whatever store is closer to me

12/8/2009 10:11:17 AM

Sam's Club for most meat (Chicken breast, pork tenderloin, etc.), salad, fruits, bread, and drinks.
Whole Foods for quinoa, pasta, hummus, etc.
Harris Teeter for my short notice needs.

12/8/2009 10:21:39 AM

I shop at the wig shop.

Wegman's is the shit! I wish we had one down here...

12/8/2009 10:53:41 AM

^Where are they located?

12/8/2009 11:10:46 AM

there is one in Ithaca, NY

12/8/2009 11:11:12 AM

Lowes Foods is preferred, but only when I'm with my girlfriend so I can use her card, not that they don't just swipe there own for you when you checkout anyway.

When I'm shopping for myself and family, though, it's Food Lion and Wal-Mart.

EDIT: I never knew a Food Lion could be so ghetto and full of Mexicans until I moved to Raleigh.
