Yes, and bighead lives here to AciD.. I was just posting the names of the people who had already posted stores above your post... but Biggie didn't seem to pick up on that and got jealous =)

[Apocalypse]

I think Sam's Club owns the U.S. I love shopping there with my parents and stocking up on things for school. My parents may have a different opinion, but there's nothing better than getting huge quantities at low prices. And they even sell hot dogs and root beer floats!!! :fruit

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

Yankee, you forgot
Piggly-Wiggly
Casey Jones
A&P
Winn Dixie

;)

[roXet]

who's bighead?

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

Quite an assortment of groceries!

When I was in High School, my mom got transferred to Manning, SC w/ her job - Manning is a town of 2000, and VERY much "Mayberry" - there were like 2 cops and everybody knew EVERYBODY (most were related somehow or another :) )

Anyway, there were 3 grocery store, Food Lion, Bilo, and Piggly Wiggly, and I remember my mom would get the sales papers from all 3 stores and hit all 3 to get the best deals...easy in manning - the whole town was 2 sq miles, and NO traffic, and NO lines! - took less than half the time shopping in 3 stores in manning than it takes to shop in one in Florence....kinda funny...

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Thats one of the reasons I hate Wallyworld so much. You go in there, you experience a time warp...time speeds up or something. I mean, it's easy to walk in and walk out 1-2 hours later with nothing to show for it.

I hate that.

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

I'm the exact opposite Tech - it seems like every minute i'm in that store is an hour :biggrin
