walmart is the best. they have wide aisles and great selection at low prices and the employees are nice, and self-checkout is quick.

I've gotten pretty lazy, but I usually just keep beans, eggs, carrots, potatoes, onions, some protein like ground beef or chicken, and fruit from where I work.
>What stores do you like to go to?
I work at Whole Foods so I generally buy my fruit there, but I go to King Soopers for everything else. However, I kind of want to start shopping at Sprouts.

>>11947800
You seem to be a professional at that by posting lame ass survey threads. What's next for you upgrading to shill threads?

>>11947788
Publix is objectively the best grocery store and anyone who disagrees needs to remove themselves from the gene pool

>>11947844
I don't know what the fuck you're on about friendo, but I did post my response. I'm just watching something in the background (:

Go back to your fast food threads, shill. If you know where I can get paid to make threads though, please tell me

>>11947858
Did I touch a nerve in you? It seems as if I did, though maybe survey threads are an upgrade for you from shill threads. I'm asking you because you'll know, which one pays better? Shill threads, or survey threads?

You also didn't answer your own questions but expect others to answer them, you come across as if you're full of shit.

>>11947800
I fucking will faggot

>>11947879
>>11947814

>>11947897
Perhaps you should have done that in the first place instead of coming across as a survey shill, only after mine at >>11947794
Did it make you feel guilty and help destroy your thread?

>>11947927
Damn you got me anon i guess I'll tell my employers that detective anon is on the case and if we want to make sure that the very lucrative 4chan poll model to work, i need to post in two minutes.

Anyone ever been to a Lucky's market?

>>11947944
You do that, and feel good about yourself too, because you deserve it.

>>11947796
>wide aisles
Kek, ok fatty mcfatfat

>>11947950
They're not bad, we have two where I live. I've never done my full shopping there, but I'd say it satisfies a similar niche that Sprouts does but is like how Whole Foods used to be in terms of variety. Prices seem to be similar to Sprouts too. Some good deals, but you'll really only come out ahead if you shop the sales. I think they sell a whole rotisserie chicken for like 4 or 5 bucks every Wednesday, which is a pretty slick deal

>What's your usual list?
What kind of nosy nigger asks a question like this, it's like this faggot has never been grocery shopping

I am really bad at making a general list and just cooking from what i have, any tips?

>>11948001
I work at one I was hoping to hear someone talk some shit desu

>>11948344
oh well i work at whole foods and you suck and you're taking all our business so stop that

I have no pride so I go to Walmart.

I get: cheap meat like turkey, chicken, bulk hamburger, eggs, lettuce, Atkins brownies because none of the grocery stores have the brownies. Frozen Brocolli florets, maybe some riced cauliflower crumbles, frozen strawberries, coconut cream, canned fish, frozen shrimp

>>11948433
No pride about it, but they do have some products such as El Pato sauce, and El Yucotech hot sauces, and other things that are packaged products. They're simply for less money than I can get in local supermarkets. So I should support a local supermarket that was just doing the same damn thing as walmart but on a smaller scale. I get to a walmart maybe once a year. So I stock up.
They're where I found out about pic related and that's just in mid tear NY.
What kind of a moron would pay more for the same thing, just to save stores that I know nothing about and don't really care about? Get with the times bitches.

>>11948433
Why don't you tell me what pride has to do with this? You can't because you're a fucking presumptuous moron. Do you run around in a pleather jacket with an A in a circle and expect shit?

>>11948467

> just to save stores that I know nothing about and don't really care about?

I mean to each their own anon, but that right there says more about you.

Get to know the folks in your community, it might do you good

>>11947788
>be me
>shopping for fruit
>some women comes up to me and tells me to stop touching all the fruit
>uh, I have to feel it before I buy, there's no other way to tell if it's good
>I continue searching for peaches with appropriate softness
>I just told you not to do that! she screeches
>go away, I say

Pro-tip for autists out there: Just because people tell you to do something, doesn't mean you have to listen, and it's fun to watch them shake with rage when they are checkmated because I know they're not willing to attack me over something like peaches and they realize their words don't work on me.

>>11948479
Do you think that they care about you?
Look into yourself on that one.
This isn't mom & pop stuff, I like the ones that still exist but those are few and far between.

>What's your usual list?
Food.
>What stores do you like to go to?
Closest one.
>What are you planning on making this week?
Food.
>How are the prices?
Pricey.
>Other tips, tricks, etc?
If you come in late, you can get nearly expired stuff for cheap.

>>11948492
Good answer!

>>11947788
I refuse to use self checkouts. I will wait forever to be served rather than go through a computer.

>>11948485
Where did this happen?

>>11948546
superstore

I live across the street from a vons / rite aid. I don't need to be that frugal, but it's a good mental exercise to keep control of what I'm doing. I'm /fit/ so working to control my diet through cooking while learning to make tasty foods is why I'm on /ck/ to learn how to use unprocessed foods. I check the weekly add and plan around the cheap proteins. Trying to get my diet to nearly 100% whole food with the exception of some carbs (pasta, bread). I always check the sale aisles, picked up fresh baked bagels for two bucks today and they had cream cheese on sale + a coupon for a buck fifty.

Right now I'm learning to buy up grocery on sale (box/canned), and freeze meat batch cooking days. After I get that going I'm hoping to get into food fermenting and working with better ingredients.

I do

> Look into yourself on that one.

On what? Trusting and caring about people in your local community?

I know it's in to shit on everything and everybody but you really don't have to, I get that it's different in the US but it doesn't have to be

>>11947788
Walmart, because it's about 40% at least cheaper than the Albertson's in my town.

>Bag of chicken breasts for $1.90/lb
>Brown rice
>Sack of potatoes
>Sack of green apples -- lunch each workday
>100% whole wheat bread, two loafs -- breakfast/lunch each workday
>Organic peanut butter (no hydrogenated oil), the kind you have to mix up -- breakfast/lunch each workday
>Five bananas -- breakfast each workday
>milk
>frozen bag of peas/mixed vegetables
>frozen bag of stir-fry deluxe (pre-prepped vegetables)

Then I'll get a treat, something like Walmart brand mac and cheese, or maybe Campbell's clam chowder, or maybe a Walmart brand $2 thin crust supreme pizza, etc.

They have a few where I'm at. Pretty good prices. No raw milk though.

Theres a grocery store nearby I like
>litetarly who Mexican grocery store
>sells the same stuff, but 3x cheaper
>for some reason the meat section is entirely in Russian and it sells stuff like kangaroo and whole pigs
>they sell some bulk stuff ala costco
>there is almost nobody there ever, but it somehow never goes out of business

>>11947950
i lived in san francisco for 12 years and Lucky always seemed like the ghetto version of Safeway

>>11949314
>Tfw I'm socialist who prefers self checkouts

I can check out my own stuff faster than a cashier. Probably because I was one for ages

>>11952884

I think you found a front for a Russian mafia or Mexican cartel, anon. Maybe even both.

>>11948589
only been in one once, but
this place sucks and it seems like it’s for low income people
it’s like going to a flea market, but for food
i’ve never even heard of most of the brands they sell there
i felt like i was shopping in some commie country mid cold war

>>11950432
>ftw no Portuguese gf

>>11950432
frozen cheese? lolwut
it doesn’t go bad
and frozen avocados? rly?
post pic
face or tits pls

>>11953855
it be like that

>>11953861
when cheese goes on sale i freeze it, its prefectly fine after defrosting.
cheese can be very expensive so we try to stock up when we can mainly because the bf loves cheese heh
and yeah frozen avocados!!! they sell huge bags at costco. i was surprised when i saw it too. i buy small bags because bf thinks avocado is a meme. buying it frozen prevents waste and u wont have a bunch of avocados turning brown in ur fruit bowl :)

>>11952486
>>11952486
yes i do! pic related :)))

>I’m a girl btw :)

>>11947788

>>What's your usual list?
I usually just buy stuff for whatever meal I'm making and pick up other stuff I need while I do it. I go to the store pretty frequently, but it's nearby
>>What stores do you like to go to?
Kroger almost exclusively
>>What are you planning on making this week?
Coconut chicken curry is all I currently have stuff to make, I'll cook whatever my wife says she's in the mood for because she has pretty good taste
>>How are the prices?
Probably a little too high but who cares, I make good enough money
>>Other tips, tricks, etc?
Learn plu codes for produce you get a lot and it'll save time when doing self checkout

>>11955118

>>11947796
>employees are nice
lol

>>11947788
slap the rice

>>11947788
>What's your usual list?
Lots of fresh fruits and veggies (I got a dragon fruit and some mango today), a couple proteins, and necessary pantry ingredients.
>What stores do you like to go to?
I live in a really small town, so my only options are Walmart and Albertsons.
>What are you planning on making this week?
Chicken tacos and salmon cakes, maybe some cookies
>How are the prices?
The prices are a bit high, all other towns are at least 2 hours away, so they can get away with higher prices. Walmart is obviously cheaper than Albertsons, but I shop at both for different things.
>Other tips, tricks, etc?
I always go through my kitchen and make a list before I leave. Nothing is worse than getting home and realizing you missed that one essential ingredient.

Lol I work at Whole Foods too.
Generally I buy my chicken and beef from Food Lion (NC boy). I get produce from work and the occasional grass fed lamb. Pasta, 365™ marinara sauce, sardines, olive oil, grapeseed oil, whole wheat bread, beer, and salad mix is what I usually eat.

I'm in walking distance of two grocery stores that are a bit more expensive (one is primarily imported stuff) but the upside is that they routinely clearance shit out.

>>11947815
>Food Lion, Wegmans
Where the fuck do you live anon? Wegman's is incredibly regional, and I didn't think Food Lion extended beyond Virginia.

>>11947788
German here, usually I buy veggies, fruit and basic stuff like rice, beans and pasta at Lidl. Sometimes meat too, but mostly chicken (cant get chicken thighs anywhere else in my area).
For general meat and other stuff like coffee, spices and everything I can't get at lidl I pick up at Edeka.
Pic related, meat I got today for soup. Top one is oxtail, bottom is beef shank.

If anyone's interested I can post pics of some flyers of grocery stores around here.

>>11955652
At least I'm not the only one.

>>11956726
Heck yeah, I'm from the states and love to see things from overseas. It takes time for me to translate it to English but I manage, the fun is in the translation.

>>11947788
>Usual list
Meat (usually chicken breast or pork), onions, a carton of eggs, rice/buckwheat whenever I run out, butter, cheese, some fruit (usually citrus, particularly mandarins) and bread from a nearby bakery.
>What stores
Perekrestok at a nearby shopping centre, they're pretty based for selling stuff that's about to expire at a lower price (yes that's actually a rare occurence here)
>What are you planning on making this week
Made some beef stroganoff with mushrooms for the week yesterday
>How are the prices
They're good when stuff's on sale, average otherwise. I don't think there's even that much of a price difference between most grocery stores in general.

>>11956781
I tend to think that it's synchronized, so that while some grocery store will have something on sale, it'll be considered a loss leader to draw people in while they've raised prices on other things.
Then the next grocery store will do the same but in a different way, with the same goal, to draw people in using a loss leader. It just goes round and round, like from the Steve Miller band, abracababra.

>>11956755
Meat at Edeka. Generally like meat from there because they have a huge section with fresh meat, not just some packaged stuff like lidl. With a few exceptions prices are slightly higher at Edeka though.

>>11956811
Fruit and veggies

>>11956811
What's the one left from the lower right, haxan? Meat from hell?
It's a good movie if you get a chance to watch it, Haxan.

>>11947847
Depends on the area friend.
Ever been to a ghetto Publix? It's almost surreal

>>11947788
>What's your usual list?
Depends. The weekly buys revolves around a mixture of vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, rice, lentils, beans), fruits (primarily berries, lemons and apples), rye bread if I feel like it, honey/maple syrup, eggs, cheese and meat. Monthly is restocking spices that run out, buying flour, oats, sugar, or going to Jungle Jim's and buying imported stuff and unusual things you can't get usually get here in 513.
>What stores do you like to go to?
I go to Kroger since it's right next to where I live. If I want something that isn't available there I go to Jungle Jim's.
>What are you planning on making this week?
I made plov to last me the whole week yesterday since I've exams coming up and I don't want to actually cook anything, so I'll just reheat everything. Last one was oats, spice restock, chicken thighs and breast, eggs, cheese, honey, lemons, berries, cooking wine, rice, mushrooms.
>How are the prices?
Pretty good, actually.
>Other tips?
Don't buy brand stuff unless it's cheaper than the off-brand stuff. Have an exact list of what you'd like to buy. Go by foot and use a backpack plus carry bags - you can only buy as much as you can carry.

>>11947788
>>What's your usual list?
About the only thing I buy consistently is milk and oatmeal for breakfast. Everything else depends on the season.

>>What stores do you like to go to?
I do most of my shopping at HEB. I also visit the local farmer's market, butcher, Asian market, and Indian/Desi market. I also visit a "Signature" Kroger, exclusively for their cheese section but I don't buy anything else there because otherwise HEB has a better selection and better prices.

>>What are you planning on making this week?
Masaman curry, potato soup with venison sausage on the side, chicken tortilla soup, pork ribs with beans, beer can chicken with cornbread, grilled squash soup, mapo tofu. Plus misc. salads/sandwiches.

>>How are the prices?
Excellent.

>>Other tips, tricks, etc?
Real food looks like pic related--it doesn't have a brand name on it. Buy ingredients like this and cook from scratch wherever possible, it saves money and it's usually a lot healthier too. Also, whenever you buy meat, fish, or poultry buy the largest possible cut. E.e. whole chickens instead of breasts, whole fish instead of fillets, bone-in roasts instead of boneless, etc. That saves you money, and it gives you materials to make stock from.

>>11947847
Unironically this.
