THERE YOU ARE! I was afraid I was the only person who ever heard of PIGGLY WIGGLY. I believe it is one of the oldest groceries. The first grocery store I saw was Piggly Wiggly in Southern Tennessee around about 1937 and I was 4 yrs old. Not so long ago our little town here in W.V. opened a Piggle Wiggly just a few blocks from where I live, and I was happy Happy Happy. I thought surely they had gone out of business since 1937, but there it was and I’ve walked down there many times. I feel like it got there just for me, by the Lord. It’s still good enough for me even if it’s too high $

I’m here, Nan! *WAVES* :)

I shop Piggly Wiggly weekly specials and they always have some good discounts in produce and shelf-stable items. I get their ad in the mail each week as an insert to our local ‘Shopper’ newspaper.

Their store brand is good for canned goods and frozen veggies, coffee, flour, sugar, cereal, staples - Food Club - comparable to any of the national brands, IMHO.

Lots of LOCAL fresh veggies and fruits and I’m not sure if yours is the same, but meats are local, too. Wisconsin and Iowa for chicken and pork, at least. (I don’t buy beef - we raise our own.)

As an added bonus, the Manager is the same age as I am so there is always AWESOME 70’s & 80’s ‘Muzak’ playing in the store. ;)

Shop The Pig! :)
