What is your favorite grocery store? Is it where you usually get to do your weekly shopping? Giant is my favorite grocery store. I'm there usually 2 times a week. I'm getting pretty good at shopping their weekly ads and now I am getting about a dollar off per gallon of gas (rewards program). I usually save about 20% per shopping trip. NOw if I could just get into couponing...

Doing pretty good. Finally starting to find sleep again after last week's frustrating uncomfortable bout of sleepless nights. DH and I are also organizing all the big purchases we have to/would like to do before the baby comes (redoing the kitchen, some outdoor work, new car) and are trying to see what is financially feasible for us.

We go between Hannaford for the majority of groceries and local farmer's markets (for eggs, local poultry, seasonal organic produce, bulk nuts/seeds, etc...).
I usually go to giant but prefer wegmans but it takes half an hour to get there.
I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger...their prices are the lowest and I like their store brand stuff. Giant Eagle has a huge Market District store down the street which is really nice if I ever need/want specialty stuff (they have EVERYTHING), but it's always crowded and slightly more pricy.
Doing well today. Yesterday LO gave me a scare and didn't move much for 18 hours. She started up again and hasn't stopped since. I'm just incredibly grateful at this point.
What is your favorite grocery store? I shop at 4 stores. A produce store, because they have the most variety and lowest prices....target for other grocery items...and a local grocery store chain for meat and last minute things. Then there is trader joes for specific items, every 2-3 weeks. I am at a grocery store 4 times/week.
I used to get my produce delivered by a local farm, but decided to start going to the farmer's market instead. I do the rest of my shopping at Safeway, but if I am in my old neighborhood, I go to this European market that is really inexpensive and has an excellent selection of cheeses.

How are you doing today? Do you have anything to brag or complain about? I've got a burst of energy today. Must've been last nights extra curricular activities. I've been feeling pretty down on myself lately. Just crazy emotions. I tried looking for more maternity pants this weekend and it made me cry. Then I proceeded to tell my mom I look like a frog...it wasn't my best moment.
What is your favorite grocery store? Is it where you usually get to do your weekly shopping? We have one grocery store. It's a Shur-Fine brand. I'm in a small town so not a lot of choices as far as that goes. I wish we had a Wegmans! That grocery store is awesome!
I primarily shop at Publix. It's definitely my favorite regular grocery store, and there's one two blocks from my house. I also go to Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, and a local natural foods store once in a while for specialty items. We got a Trader Joe's here a few months ago, but the parking is miserable, so I still have not been.
Complaint... I cannot keep my eyes open after dinner! H gets home around 7, we eat dinner and I'm asleep on the couch by 8. I feel so bad bc we don't really get much quality time together during the week and he's basically just watching me sleep. I kept apologizing but he insist that he doesn't mind bc he knows I need the rest to grow his little peanut!
I shop around for the best price. There are probably 4 different grocery stores I use regularly plus SAMs club for bulk things.
As far as complaints go, my boss is really starting to get on my nerves. Today, after talking about how long I was planning to take maternity leave, she asks me if I plan to breast feed. When I said yes, she told me that is wasn't necessary for me to breastfeed longer than 2 months, and that I "didn't want to try and pump while working" because it would be a hassle for me. Um... Sounds a lot like you're telling me that you're not going to support me pumping at work. Fortunately for me, I'm not entirely sure I'll be returning to work at all.
As for grocery stores, I was on vacation last week, and the market down south was called Rouss's, and they were so super nice there! Granted they get flooded with out of towers every weekend, so they have to have the patience of Job, but still, I loved them!
