No mention of Food Lion? My choice (and there is a Walmart and Kroger directly across the street) Maybe just habit because Food Lion was there long before them.
I think Food Lion is cheapest but you have to watch the condition of their produce. Their brand of milk tends to spoil exactly on expiration whereas the Kroger in our area’s milk seems to give a week’s leeway...also is fairly cheap...2.35 for a gallon of 2 percent.
That said some of the Food Lion’s in our area have upgraded and have a walk in cold room for their leafy greans and cukes so it has become much better in some Food Lion stores. On wednsdays you get a lot of manager special mark downs on meats if you get there early in the mornings.
