I absolutely HATE going grocery shopping. My Shoppers Food Warehouse (also known as the Getro) is almost** the most ghetto grocery store ever. It is really hard to find a decent tomato or any produce really in that store. The deli counter workers must be on valium or something b/c they move sooo freaking slow. I've seen some really messed up people shopping in there. Often. I try to go to the Safeway across town when i can or to a store in the 'burbs if I am out that way already but it doesn't happen that often.
A new Harris Teeter is going to open but not until next year. *** I think because of the competition with HT, the Shoppers is "trying" to get better with their produce and general food selection but they have a long way to go - and honestly any changes they make will not be enough for me to continue to shop there once the HT opens.
The worse time in the world to go shopping is on Sundays. Only half the staff is working and everyone is stocking up on food for the week. Also - the worst time to go is between 6 - 8 pm on a weekday. I seriously ran in for one thing the other day and it took me 45 minutes.
Now - this morning I went shopping before work - got there at 7:15 am. It was awesome! I could walk the store at my own pace and there weren't screaming kids or people clogging the aisles. I got everything i needed - even hit the deli counter with no wait - and was out of there in 30 minutes with all the food i need for the week.
I am going to try to do this as often as i can.
