Sherm's Thunderbird. Sherm's Thunderbird, Roseburg Prices as good as Costco but with a lot better selection. I am always shocked at how much people pay for groceries in other areas.
I treat Safeway like a convenience store, quick in and out. Albertsons deli chicken is as good as KFC for a fraction of the cost.
By chance I went to Sherm's today and still had the grocery receipt in my pocket.

I would like to know peoples experience in shopping in term of
quality of food
prices
selection and variety of food.
some of us don't have any of the above choices believe it or not.
For me; it is, our local small grocery store, weekly: Sam's about once a month: Aldi's every couple of weeks and once in a blue moon I pick something up at WalMart when I have to go there anyway. If we had a Trader Joes I would use them as well. I also, again rarely, due to cost, pop into Fresh Market. During the late spring and summer we do a lot of produce buying at our local farmers markets. I can't wait.
Are you aware that some of those grocery markets are regional?
Where I live, we don't have Ralphs, Vons, Fresh N Easy or Food4Less...
Same here: we do have one Targot, but it isn't even that close. Even when we lived in Texas, DFW area, we had different choices than you have. I think most market chains are regional, very few, anymore that are national and we are seeing less chains all the time. People are using big box stores, and specialty stores more.
Red Meat and fresh Fish- Winn Dixie= BOGOs abound
Short shelf life veggies and small packaged items= Publix, occasional BOGO
Bulk purchases- milk, eggs, oatmeal, cheese, butter, bread, long shelf life veggies, frozen fruit, frozen fish, chicken breasts, wine= Costco
Walmart out of necessity, it's a small town. There is a Costco nearby, but I stopped Costco shopping long ago. Safeway is here, too pricy. The Albertson's was taken over by Haggen, it seems OK. I also go to a small local store for decent produce & expensive but quality meats, & make a 60 mile one-way pilgrimage to Trader Joe's & Target every 3 weeks. I miss Food4Less, they had good value.
