I like Giant for bakery/deli

I like Safeway for my United Airlines points

I like Shoppers for donuts and cheap prices

I like Sam's for kick ass desserts and appetizers when I'm having a party...

I will NOT step foot in Magruder's...IT NASTY AS ASS!

Wegman's is great.

I'm a Whole Foods girl myself, but I will be 90 blocks away from one when I move. Perhaps I'll find a suitable organic grocery in my new neighborhood. I won't be caught dead in Wal-Mart for groceries.
