I like Ralph's; they tend to be fairly upscale. Food 4 Less is like going to WalMart after sundown.

The Target in West Hollywood is pretty cool, tho.

Publix

Yes, this is a fairly boring thread, but it's one in which every orger should be able to participate!

I remember those from growing up in Florida, but I haven't seen one in ages.

Yes that's where I live- I have been here for most of my life but I am leaving soon- not soon enough though.

I daydream about the Ralph's in Westwood. I've never been more impressed by a grocery store--such opulence!

ralph's

what i hate about ralph's is that they are everywhere and the all have a different layout. so u can't walk into a different Ralph's and just find your stuff. arrrggghhh.

that can be annoying, but I like going to a different store and actually feeling like it's a different store.

luv4u said:

do u use the online site or do they have real stores?

live4lust said:

they're not as much of a ripoff as safeway, though.

evenstar3 said:

I don't if I've even seen a Safeway out here. Where is L.A. hiding 'em?

live4lust said:

maybe they don't have them in so cal? they're the same as albertsons, basically

evenstar3 said:

I miss my old Safeway.

live4lust said:

The online site has coupons you can print out and use. And yes they have real stores coz that's where I shop for my groceries.

i've been to a piggly wiggly back in the 98's.
i believe it was in pitsburg,california.

I always thought it was a grocery store back east. I have never heard of one here, and I am a native californian. I remember Miss Daisy went to the piggly wiggly in driving miss daisy.

i could have been mistaken.

weepingwall said:

that was a long year.

97 was a long year for me, I lost both my parents in 97

My grandma goes to Piggy Wiggly since it's close to her home. She used to have me go there for her sometimes. I swear it would always have this funny smell. I do like their logo of the little pig.....reminds me of Porky.
For some reason, Piggy Wiggly is like a cult thing now.....I don't know how that came to be.

I don't really have a favorite. I switch stores based on who's having the best sales that week.

live4lust said:

Von's is the SoCal Safeway. Go there and u'll find "Private Select" or whatever that Safeway brand is. Most of the L.A. ones are kinda small and dingy. I like em though cause purchases count for United miles!

But none in walking distance to me.

live4lust said:

I like Target....but not really for groceries. I just bought a bunch of flower & herb seeds for a $1 each. Can't wait to see them bloom. Their grocery selection isn't the best.

Loblaws.



How very exciting.

Whoa, I didn't know that was a real last name!

Since the Albertsons near me is fairly skanky, I'm pretty much 1/2 Safeway & 1/2 TJ's...
