Where do you grocery shop?

[GoOKC1991]

Or your wife/girlfriend? We all talk in different threads about this grocery store, that grocery store. Where do you shop at? Could that change with something like WinCo coming?

Walmart for me but I WILL be changing to WinCo as soon as they are open

Crest or Sometimes Homeland.

[Jeepnokc]

Wherever is convenient but usually Crest at 104/May. Went to Homeland on 19/Classen today of which I used to shop at all the time when we lived in Gatewood and HH East. I guess I never realized how expensive they were and quickly remembered that you have to check expiration dates on everything there. They had Turkey Pepperoni on sale and I went through ten bags that expired in July before finding one lone one that was still good.

Homeland on NW Expressway and Lake Hefner Parkway or Sprouts on 63rd and May

I usually shop at Sprouts in OKC, I love stocking up on fruits when they have sales there and their seafood. I used to shop at the Homeland on NW 23rd and Rockwell back when it was Albertsons ( they had a great seafood selection and meat selection) then homeland took over that location and it went a bit downhill a few years later.

Out here, I split almost equally between Trader Joe's and Ralph's (Kroger). I do a bit at Costco, but they only sell in bulk and I end up wasting most of what I buy.

I would shop almost exclusively at Trader Joe's but they don't carry Diet DP, and I drink a lot of that (my one vice).

As a side note, I've had a gift card to Whole Foods for almost two years and finally decided to go back to the huge, relatively new store near me. I just don't get that place, especially with so many great options here. I ended up buying some craft beer that I could have bought anywhere, and certainly would have paid less.

If WinCo was closer, it would replace Ralph's for me. I was really impressed with their selection, prices and wiiiide aisles. 30 miles is too darn far but I'd drive 5-6 if one was within that range.

You should by a food saver vacuum sealer , your waste would go away when buying in bulk.

[Martin]

my main two places are crest @ sw 104th & may and chef'store. i'd probably go to sprouts regularly if one was conveniently located. -M

Most of what I buy is fresh (veggies and fruit) and that doesn't keep. I do buy ground turkey and freeze it. I don't like prepared foods.

I'll always remember the first words a nutritionist said in a corporate talk I attended several years ago: "Costco is not your friend". She basically said that people feel obligated (or justified) in eating way more than they should when buying in inexpensive bulk. She reminded everyone that warehouse stores are really meant for small businesses and restaurants, not today's smaller families who eat at home much less than a generation ago.

Costco has great quality but I usually just pick up a rotisserie chicken and maybe a bagged salad when I'm in there to buy bulk pet food. And even though the salad is only $3, I almost never finish it before it goes bad; same with the chicken.

About 90% of healthy eating is portion control with minimized snacking and Sam's and Costco are horrible on this front. Every time I go into Costco I look at people with those overflowing HUGE carts and know they are probably only feeding a few people. It's so incredibly unhealthy.

About half my grocery dollar goes to Crest (23rd and Meridian); the rest is split between Sprouts and the Homeland at Britton and May.

[bchris02]

I don't have any real loyalties in OKC. If they had Harris Teeter or Kroger there I would shop there most frequently but there isn't. I am looking forward to WinCo when it comes and also Trader Joe's if that rumor ever materializes.

[BBatesokc]

Edmond; Sam's, Walmart, & Sprouts.

[Jersey Boss]

Homeland, Target and Farmers Market.

[boscorama]

85 percent Crest; 10% Uptown Grocery or Walmart; 5 % Homeland.

[zookeeper]

I drive by two other grocery stores to go to Homeland at May & Britton. Shop some at Whole Foods.

[Rover]

Sprouts mostly, Whole Foods sometimes, Buy 4 Less for staples

[Jim Kyle]

Homeland on NW Expressway and Lake Hefner Parkway or Sprouts on 63rd and May

That's a Buy For Less at NW Hiway and Hefner Parkway, not a Homeland.

For myself it's about 85% Crest at Rockwell and Hefner, and the other 15% at Homeland, NW 122 and Rockwell. This Homeland has a great deli section, and carries the brand of bread I prefer, but like all Homelands its prices are a bit high for my budget so other stuff comes from Crest...

[ljbab728]

Homeland at NW Expwy and MacArthur and will likely switch to the location at Britton and May when it closes. I do go to (shudder) Walmart for some drug items and laundry and cleaning supplies.

Used to be Belle Isle Walmart Supercenter. Now only that Walmart when absolutely necessary. Replaced by enhanced Target at 50th and May, and Eley's Foods at 30th and May. Eley's is a well-kept secret. Unassuming on the outside, and clean, well-stocked and impressive on the inside. They still sack your groceries and take them to your car! If you live nearby, this place is a gem! Slightly higher prices, but way worth it in the lack of crowds and hassle.

[trousers]

Meat & produce from Sprouts. Everything else from the Buy for less on NW expressway.

Yes, I go to Eley's sometimes for meat. Great butcher shop! I agree it IS a well-kept secret.

[KenRagsdale]

Walmart, Belle Isle; Whole Foods, Classen Curve; Braum's 39th and North Penn; Buy For Less, 3501 NW Highway. Each store offers something the other stores do not.

[Roger S]

Whatever grocer I happen to be close to when the impulse to buy groceries strikes me.

I do buy most of the meat that I smoke from the US Foods Chef Store.

[warreng88]

We go to Sprouts for weekly food needs but Target for things like toilet paper, cereal, laundry detergent, etc. Also, if we are in a pinch and need just one or two items, we go to Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market 1/2 mile from the house. It is next to my gym so I can go there after a workout.

[td25er]

Target in Edmond. This store seriously sucks. It is 100% guaranteed that they will be out of multiple items on my list (which is never very long). Unfortunately, they do carry a few regular items that Walmart doesn't, so I keep going back.
