I saw a Reddit posts where plant workers were exposing grocery stores like Whole Foods and TJs. Apparently, most products are made in the same factory and they just slap their store brands on it. Welch’s juice is bottled with the same grocery store brand but do you homie.

I only buy produce at the expensive grocery stores. Everything else is Walmart super center

You see it.


I hate expensive grocery stores like Whole Foods. Never find jack shyt to by there that isn't obviously overpriced. You can get the same positive experience in decently priced stores if you just pick the right ones.

Use Grocery Outlet as my first option, with some selective shopping at Trader Joes and the 99 Cent Only store, and shop the produce deals at Ralphs/Vons. I spend less money than damn near anyone shopping at Walmart and eat way healthier too.

We dont have the expensive stores here in Decatur, we just go to the "better" of the 3 Krogers.

The one by Airport Rd is the best. It has a better selection. Plus, they dont allow panhandling anywhere near the store.
We moved from Tampa to South Dekalb and always wondered why Publix and Kroger always out of stuff.
:what:
Made a complaint to corporate and everything. We go to stores in Decatur Decatur and they shelves are full.

I’m somewhere in between on this. The key to the lower end stores is just being an early bird. I won’t set foot in a non neighborhood Walmart after 8am

Oh I know what it is I just meant do you guys consider it high end/expensive.

I dont. Their deli, fish/meats (they sell wagyu :ehh:) hot bars are high end but they’re regular grocery is stuff you can find at any regular grocery store.

They don’t carry the local crafted groceries like Whole Foods or central market does.
