re: Why are chain grocery stores not frowned upon like restaurants?

Never understood people who don't look at prices

I pretty much base my diet on what's for sale

Adds up over time and that money goes straight to stocks while will accrue over time in such a way that eating lentils instead of steak will lead to tens of thousands

My family is friends with the zuppardo family
Always thought they were nice

Don't let them hate. I don't either. Not in an absurd way, at least.

I realize that doing my entire shopping list at Whole Foods is stupid because it's expensive.

But the difference between Winn Dixie vs. Albertsons vs. Matherne's? Not dramatic enough to matter. I don't grocery shop in massive quantities because I am too prone to get cravings. The $50-$60 trips are not worth pulling the junk out of my mailbox and seeing which is cheaper on each individual item.

Generally, I go by distance. But, say, I have no beer at home.. I'm picking a store I can get the beer I want as well.

I'm pretty much the same way when it comes to grocery shopping. I'm not totally oblivious to price, but selection, quality, familiarity and convenience are far more important to me. Honest to God, I couldn't tell you offhand the difference in price for, say, chicken breast or tomatoes among Rouse's, Whole Foods or Fresh Market.
