Kroger

This is my local grocery and it upset me that the new Super Wal-​Mart will probably kill off the other 2 stores in town since it already killed off one, but not much you can do about that. I find the prices at Kroger are less comparatively and usually if you hit it during the week you can get in and out pretty quickly. They do a good job of keeping the checkout lines open unlike Wallyworld. I find the produce to be fresher and better kept and just the over all selection to be better. I’m here once a week even if it’s out of the way for me and farther.

Kroger’s the busiest grocery store in town (there are only two as of right now, but Super Wal-Mart’s on its way), so don’t expect a close parking space, especially when there’s even a hint of impending snow or ice. Thankfully, there are usually plenty of aisles open and there are also self-​checkouts for quick errands.
Also, don’t expect to find any super exotic ingredients; this is Connersville, people. They have a few select fresh herbs and some variety of cheeses, but the veggie selection doesn’t get much wilder than bok choy and they don’t have a meat counter to speak of. I suggest you start Googling substitutes for anything that might be out of the ordinary in one of your recipes… or head to Meijer in Richmond.
Speaking of meat counters, this place runs out of chicken all the time. I go there to pick up some boneless/​skinless breast tenderloins and that section is always cleaned the heck out, leaving me with nothing but some sad-​looking thighs and gizzards to choose from.
But it’s a relatively clean store, the aisles are relatively wide, and the staff is relatively friendly. I also use their pharmacy due to its $ 4 generic prescription program and the proximity to home. I just hope it’ll survive in the wake of Super Wal-​Mart, because I hate that place with a fiery passion.
