Been thinking about how I share my dime, curious where other co/ck/suckers might spend there's. Feel free to criticize, just provide your dime.
>Where
USA, smallish town in Midwest (few thousand)
>What markets do you shop at?
Next-town ALDI for most groceries/beer, next-town walmart or a local place for liquor, corner butchery for deli, local (IGA) if the former doesn't have what I need, literally Amazon/whatever elsewise.
>How often do you go?
Once a week usually, more if I need something for some recipe, usually the IGA that case.
>What beefs do you have with it/them?
ALDI doesn't serve hard liquor (but fair on them).
IGA is uncompetitive in pricing, but here I am in bumfuck nowhere.
Corner butchery doesn't nearly provide like the places I'd see overseas, else I would depend on them more if I could. Could technically live off their stock for some time.

Once you get back inside, maybe you can do the same. I'm genuinely curious as some literal.

We have a local market, some fake farmer's markets (produce not local) and two really good butcher shops where I live. for the last year, I've shopped only at these places, because the big box supermarkets aren't doing as good a job dealing with the Kooph. There's been outbreaks at two of them, Walmart and SuperStore.

Now I only like small places where they wipe down the counters after each customer.

My local grocery hired a new Jester and this stupid asshole always has it out for me. Always placing soy products in my cart when I'm not looking. Always making sure I get the creaky wheel cart. Flips the price cards upside down on some numbers so it looks like I'm getting a better deal than I am.

how do I get him to leave me alone, its fun the first time but its like he's picking on me on purpose!

Big Y and local Japanese/Korean markets

Once a week to Big Y, once every other month or so for the Asian places

Big Y's been out of Worcestershire sauce for fucking months.

Kroger and Whole Foods. I get basics like oil, milk, most spices, pasta, yogurt, etc. as well as some produce at Kroger. Bezos Foods is good for butcher counter items like steak, stew meat, and chicken. I also go there for cold cuts, bread, sometimes eggs, and produce. They have some items like marinated chicken breast and marinated taco beef that work well for fast dinners.

>Where?
LA.
>What markets do you shop at?
Save-A-Lot, and Zuppardo's.
>How often do you go?
Once a month.
>What beef do you have with them?
Save-A-Lot doesn't bag your food (I bring my own bags from home) and they are more than often out of the vegetables / fruit I want. That's when I go to Zuppardo's.

I spend no more than 180 bucks on food a month.

Curious, where?
I know from twitch LIDL is popular in central Europe, and I know they have places open in the USA, but I AFAIK its just another socialist store like ALDI.

What do you think the marination adds to it?
Would rather do it myself than have it done by some WohlFohls cuckie
