Favorite local grocery store?

I recently moved to the LSU area; and I'm looking for nearby local grocery stores that have good, fresh meats and produce. I'm looking for something comparable to Zuppardo's in Metairie, so I'd love to hear what places y'all prefer.

In terms of being near LSU, Bet-R is pretty strong meat wise. They're right at the Perkins Overpass.
Trader Joe's isn't local, but they have good produce at good prices.
The good Calandro's is way down Perkins at the Siegen intersection. The one on Government is OK.

your options are as follows:
Wal-Mart neighborhood market: good for everything except produce, meat, and bread. They have a suprisingly good deli meat selection.
Winn Dixie: similar to Wal-Mart NM, but their bread is better, meat is better, but their deli meat selection isn't as good. Higher prices compared to Wal-Mart NM, but they have fuel perks
Bet-R: limited selection, decent meat, good produce, deli meats somehow go bad instantly, slightly less limited bread compared to Wal Mart NM, great plate lunches
Trader Joe's: best frozen food selection, very good produce, limited but interesting alcohol selection, great prepared meats, surprisingly great prices, lots of unique products, but lacks many tradition grocery items. It's a great niche store.
Calandro's: great meat, great produce, decent selection of more upscale items (ethnic foods, gluten free, dairy free, organic, ect), best alcohol selection in the area, no plate lunches, great bakery, great bread, great deli meat selection, a little higher on the prices
Wal-Mart College Drive: AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
Matherne's (Highland at Kennilworth): best combo of selection (except for alcohol) and price of any store, great bakery, great produce, great plate lunches, sushi bar, great bread, great meats, great deli meats, only issue is it's tough to get to from campus due to traffic most of the time.
Matherne's Bocage Market: similar to the one on Highland, but higher prices and not as good of plate lunches. Kinda far from campus.
Whole Foods: great selection, 2nd best alcohol selection, awesome foods including nearly the best BBQ in the city (sadly), high prices, kinda far from campus.
City Pork: best deli meat and cheeses available

Great response! I appreciate the break down of each location. It sounds like Matherne's and Calandro's are the places I've been looking for!

Best breakdown of grocery stores ever. I live in north La and I enjoyed reading it

Whole foods if I'm buying beer, wine or specialty foods.
Rouses for everyday groceries.
Winn Dixie in a pinch because it's close to the house.

My favorite is Publix but we don't have them here.
Albertsons isn't too bad though.

LeBlanc's (when it opens in the Drusilla Shopping Center next month) It's going to be fantastic.

Props to Winn Dixie on Coursey for sprucing up their place nicely.

Their homemade breakfast sausage is great. Always check for expiration dates on other items.

Publix, where shopping is a pleasure!

It's kinda far and in the ghetto but Tony's on Plank Rd is one of my favorite spots for seafood. I like LA Boilers too
