The CheckerBoard

Here's another plug for Aldi. Can't beat the prices. Store brands are generally comparable. Some of their stuff (especially things like frozen foods and canned soups) is better, for a lower price.

Can't beat Publix for variety and selection, but you pay for that luxury.

Our household motto is, "if you can get it at Aldi, don't get it anywhere else". Just wish their hours were like the chain grocers...but I assume closing when they do also helps keep costs down.

I actually shop at Ingles, most of the time. One of my students' families sells milk to ingles, so I like to patronize because of that. Food city too. They sell a good bit of local food. If I didn't live in an apartment i'd just grow my own food.

Why? Why does it matter where complete strangers from all over the country by their grub? Please, lets dont turn this great info based board into another VQ cesspool of nonsense.

Whole Foods and there is a joint in the DC area called Mom's. It's awesome.

I am somewhat surprised by the lack of walmart and more Whole Foods. Hopefully this is a sign of people are starting to realize the crap that is in all of our foods. I generally try to shop at the local mom and pop grocery called Sprouts.

No offense to watauga and +1 for his loyalty to his employer, but look out for Walmart. They have only begun to infiltrate the market. They plan to do to the grocery sector what they did to mom and pop stores on all the Main Streets across America.

Sprouts? That's a big chain out West.

Talking about another one?

I think the OP's intent was to gauge the level of UT presence in each of the different grocery stores. That way we can ensure that there will always be orange advocates in any given grocery store across the country, therefore exposing our presence and our fandom to recruits and their families. Everyone's gotta get groceries, what better place to casually yell out a "Go Vols!" at the Hurd family, the Kelly family or the Carter family for example? BTW, the Hurd family is partial to Whole Foods while the Kelly's are lifetime Kroger supporters, interestingly enough. I'm hoping W/R/K can get back with what grocery store Lorenzo Carter and his family shop at so we can start to put in work.

But anyways, I'm mainly a Kroger guy. Love the Boar's Head deli selection. Whole Foods sometimes.

(I hate that I even have to say this, but I know there are some on this board who are professionals at disregarding sarcasm: None of the above is truth...except the part about me...or is it?)
