How close is your grocery store to your home?

[Jara sang]

We were a mile away from the grocery store in our community but it shut down. Now we are about 40 miles away from groceries. It's a real bitch.

[Gormy Cuss]

1. Two miles, and there are three stores within three miles.

Forty miles for grocery is a long haul. Yuck.

[Deja Q]

2. My favorite one is 15 miles away. The secondary one is 2 miles away.

I say "favorite" because food prices haven't gone up with gas prices.

The secondary one recently updated its image to match the new posh store that's 3 miles away... sadly, it updated its prices to match too.

3. Just a few blocks.

It is a family-owned also, so I love it.

4. I am 10 minutes walk from the Sainsburys supermarket

which is pretty handy.

5. "Vons" is 5 blocks away.

But have noticed crappy produce and tainted ground beef (I got food poisoning last week. Shouldnt have cooked the gamey smelling beef),so I'll drive the xtra one mile and shop at "Ralphs" for now on.

[LibDemAlways]

28. Their ground beef sucks lately, I don't like the

new packaging. Bought it twice and both times the meat was sort of runny and brown at the bottom. The Ralphs across the street from Vons (both 2 miles away) smells bad and has even worse produce than Vons. I drive two miles farther to go to Albertsons when I'm in the mood. Fresher meat and more selection. Since that strike a while back, all the local markets seem to have somewhat gone downhill.

6. 5 miles away

Great place, Union and employee owned, I wouldn't go anywhere else

[huskerlaw]

7. About 3 blocks

but they're building another one that'll be even closer. :)

8. Coborn's is the closest...and it's eight miles away.

:grr:

[Maine-ah]

9. about 10 miles.

[bigwillq]

10. A few miles (nt)

[Broken_Hero]

11. 11 miles....nt

[RebelOne]

12. About a mile to the local Kroger.

[Ghost in the Machine]

13. 12 miles.....

and the closest store of ANY kind is 5 miles away... I live out in the sticks... and wouldn't trade it for the world!

[RevCheesehead]

14. It depends on what time it is.

2 local stores are within 1-2 miles. However, they close early on Saturday and Sunday, so I either have to go to the local Mobil station, or drive 20 miles to Sturgeon Bay to a well-stocked Pick-N-Save.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

15. A mile or so...

They really need to put in one closer to Downtown OKC. It's ridiculous that my only choice is a Walmart Neighborhood market more than 30 blocks from here. Well, there is a Homeland like 10 blocks from here, but it's ghetto. I refuse to shop there. They need to put in another Super Target here, and it needs to be near downtown.

16. About 200 or 300 yards

nt.

[u4ic]

17. Within a mile or so radius

there are 4 major ones - Save On Foods(where I shop the most), Safeway, Sobey's and the Real Canadian Superstore (which I avoid like the plague...).

[kedrys]

18. The closest one is two very long blocks away, but it's skanky

The other two, which I visit interchangeably, are less than 2 miles away (one south, one west).

[sarge43]

19. Country store ie convenience store for you flatlanders - 4 miles

Supermarket - 10 miles.

40 miles?! That does suck. Where you at?

[Norwood]

20. About 2 blocks away

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. The one I patronize is a bit more than 2 miles away...

There is a Whole Paycheck 4 blocks from here. I deliberately stay away.

[Jara sang]

22. Whole Paycheck LOL!

I used to buy the Vitasoy Green Tea Soy from there when I lived in NoVa.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. Not original...

sadly.

[NMMNG]

24. About 3/4 mile

Even less if I cut through the woods.

[Jamastiene]

25. It is about 3 miles, I think.

It seems like a long three miles though, because I hate going. I'm not sure which I hate worse; coming or going, in that case. It's a Food Lion. It's pretty clean. It's not like the SuperDuper Bigass Wal-Mart (we have the biggest one in the world here, officially). I wouldn't want to buy anything much at the Wal-Mart. EVERYONE else goes there, so the food has been handled by thousands of snotty kids and disgusting freeper types. I'll take Food Lion over that any day.

[Nicole]

26. About 2 miles

There are 2 grocery stores across the street from each other. Another 3 miles there is another grocery store plus a health food store.

[GreenTea]

27. Too far to reach the beer.
