Back east, Publix is the place to go, it's grocery store heaven. We've been going to Safeway, but every week I'm disappointed in the produce selection and my fish always smell fishy when I get home.
How are King Soopers and Sprouts in comparison to Safeway? Or is there any other grocery store I don't know about (other than Whole Foods)?
I had a friend recommend trying a produce delivery service, anyone use one?
Re: Can we talk grocery stores?!
We do our usual grocery shopping at King Soopers. Depending on the time of year, some produce can be lacking (i.e. onions in the winter), but the prices are usually pretty good and if you get their king soopers card, you save on gas as well. I don't eat fish, but my husband has gotten fish from them before and liked it.
I've been to sprouts only a couple times and found them to be pretty expensive for most stuff, although that might just be my opinion.
They're supposedly opening up a Trader Joes sometime this year though. That I can't wait for!
I find the grocery shopping to be sub-par here as well. We are from Ohio originally and have lived in Minnesota as well. I always thought Safeway was supposed to be a nice store but now that I live with them I would have to say not so much.
We never had Publix but a lot of my family lives in the south. I was just telling my husband how I would love one here the other day! I would definitely say there is nothing as good as Publix here that I have found. I can't think of anyhting else you might try unless there is an Albertson's by you but I wouldn't classify them as better either.
Where in SF did you live? We moved from there almost 3 years ago now. We sooo miss the food from there!

Sadly, nothing touches Publix around here.
