I shop mostly at Crest and also frequent Sprouts. Sometimes I swing by Whole Foods if in the area. I try my best to avoid Walmart and Homeland.

I really love seeing a lot of people on here going to Crest and Sprout's versus Wal-Mart, Sam's, Target and other national grocery chains I hate.
90% Homeland (May and Britton)
10% Sprouts
Moving downtown soon ( ), so I expect to be shifting a healthy portion to Native Roots...
When my family first moved to OKC a few years ago, we relied solely on Aldi.
Nowadays we begrudgingly go to Sam's Club for essentials, Chinatown and Terry Market for Asian items, and occasionally stop by Aldi for random stuff.
And I also need to add Restaurant Depot since we obtained a membership card and can buy food tax-free!
We spread the love around -- Whole Foods, Sprouts, Crest & Aldi for the most part. Wal-Mart if we HAAAVE to. We've been to the Uptown in Edmond and eagerly await the one on May (just around the corner from work for me).
We were in Dallas last month and stumbled upon a newly-opened WinCo in suburban Duncanville. It made us really look forward to having them here.
I go to Aldi at least once a week. I go to Walmart several times a week to walk (and shop). They have the best selection of sugar-free items than any other (non-health food) grocery store I've ever seen. Walmart is the only store in town that carries Hood chocolate milk (which is VERY low sugar). I also go to Buy for Less at least once a week. Dollar Tree has some very good food bargains for just $1.00 (especially frozen fruit like their blueberries and loaves of 100% wheat & multi-grain bread).
When WinCo builds its store at 39th & Hefner Parkway, I'll be there often. I can walk in their store & it's a fun store to shop.

Wal Mart, Sams for non perishable, Crest at 104th and S. May and for a few items and the scenery Whole Foods.
In Edmond, I prefer to shop at Crest but I don't often make it there, because it's on the other side of town from me. Because the Homeland on Bryant & Danforth is between home and work, too often I will just stop there, even though I hate that place. It's like shopping in a giant 7-11. I also will go to Walmart on I-35 for things like pasta, cereal etc. I do not usually buy meats for produce there though. On weekends I will sometimes go to Uptown but their selection is somewhat limited, and their prices are often too high. Went there yesterday and my first stop was the deli. They were out of any kind of salami. What? I took that as a bad sign, and turned around and walked out. Drove to Crest and got everything I needed.
There are certain things I always buy at Sam's Club, like coffee, but I don't do all my shopping there. Buying in bulk doesn't usually work for us. I don't have storage space for multi-packs of things.
Went to Central Market. Had other business down there, and timed it so I could shop and then head on home. Got enough meat for two months of "fun" meals.....all choice and prime cuts that are hard to find here, all at prices per pound that I am seeing for ungraded meat at Honeland. highlights were some Hangar steaks, which I've never seen in the metro, a ton of flap meat (my favorite grill cut), some lamb London broil, beef short ribs, and some prime top sirloins (at 12.99 a pound). Packed it in a soft sided cooler with some free ice and it made it home just fine. Also spent some time in the gorgeous produce section, where my little guy tried about ten new fruits, and in huge bakery where he tried new breads. I don't think we have the critical mass to support a store like this, but HEB would make my day if they would give it a try.....
I wish any national or regional chain would buy out Homeland and bring a real mid-range grocer to this market. It's unlikely H-E-B will ever expand out of Texas but there are other chains that would be just as good in OKC.
