Are you in line behind her or just at Kroger making general observations?

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

I'm in line behind her...

 

[hmanvolfan]

I'm in line behind her...

Every time I get in line after scouting what appears to be the quickest one something like that happens. Every. Single. Time.

Hell, Kroger normally only has 1 or 2 lanes open. I still pick the wrong one...

And then she paid with a check

About half the time in grocery lines, I turn around and apologize to the person behind me, saying, “I forgot to wear my ‘Do not get in line behind me shirt’.”

 

[Behr]

Thank goodness I've never been behind you in the grocery line.

Publix kills Kroger on this but higher prices and no gas points.

We no longer have Kroger would gladly take them back over Food City.... Publix isn't more expensive as long as you just buy whatever is 2 for 1..

Then it comes out the same.

Here in the Tri Cities, the Food City stores are pretty good. The Publix in Johnson City is very good, but expensive. Kroger in Kingsport is terrible, but the one in JC is decent.
Where are you?

Wtf

That's the rub. Kroger 2 for 1 stuff is just half price if you only get one.

It’s also half price if you get two.

Hey, it’s not me. It’s the peeps in front with all the expired coupons and arguing over affinity card discounts and yada yada. I just stand there and try to bring up VN on the crappy store Wi-Fi.

Food city loves to get you on these deals that will give a good price but then have fine print. Like 12 pack of cokes 3.99 but only limited to say 3 and the 4th 12 pack cost ya like 12 bucks. OR some deal that requires you buy 6 or there is no discount at all, again in the fine print. They count on ya not paying attention., or too embarrassed to bitch about it in the line. ....really ****** buisiness model for a grocery chain. I will definitely hold up the line at the front when they pull that, to either do a price check or THEY can put it back on shelf. The worst was tehy had a discount area, and a bunch of spices for like 1/3 normal price so I stocked up, and they would not give me the price. Even after they went back and checked that indeed was in fact what it said....the **** never sold. I am guess cause they never put sales price in system so the discount area just stayed filled with this crap that said it was on sale but wasn't..... Okay I never thought I'd grocery rant but there it is.

Nah the secret to Publix is go on Tues-Wed and get the buy one get one free stuff it is genuinely cheaper than any other grocery for just those items. You can't really make a list and shop that way though, it's more of a load up teh pantry on whatever is good kinda thing. Also Publix deli is superior to everyone. The sandwiches there are a better deal then subway or jimmy johns esp when you consider it's boars head stuff. But yeah alot of stuff is just too damn expensive there. I never go there with a "list"

I use self-checkout most of the time.

Wusses. When I grocery shop, it’s 2-4 stores, driven by value (quality at best price). There are certain food stuffs and sundries that I’ll buy at Publix. Others at Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, and Lidl. Inglés and Kroger tend to make you join their tracking applications to get their best deals, so I shop there less frequently.

I do this too, I have a circuit of about 3-4, including dollar general (sometimes their canned goods are priced under teh sale prices at groceries. Wife usually buys the day to die, I usually buy the shelf stable long term stuff. Ever since covid started I try and keep a pantry more like my grandparents. I feel I would do much better on the price is right now.
