Interesting. I can't imagine not finding everything I want/need at my local Kroger.
If I'm doing a charcuterie night, which I love to do for date nights, the meats and cheeses aren't plentiful at a regular store like they are at WF.
Best meat department around here is Fresh Market. But Fresh Market is OUTRAGEOUS on produce and they don't even carry shallots.. and don't carry packaged stuff I need.. so off to produce stand I go.
Then I need random packaged/aisle items. Doesn't exist at Fresh Market, doesn't exist at produce stand.. off to Matherne's/Albertsons/WD.
This is not counting that I buy beer every other day or so, so as to always have what I want to drink in my fridge.
It all depends on the type of items you buy on a regular basis.
My mother only goes to Winn Dixie, and she finds what she needs.
This is why I can't shop according to price when it comes to normal stores. I would be in every store in the city if I cared about $1-$2 differences on everything.

I can see that.
In Atlanta I am spoiled because my Kroger has huge selection.
In Savannah everything is scaled down.
Works out for me though because in ATL where I can get everything at Kroger, WF is 45 minutes away, but in SAV, WF is really close.
For others:
Publix may be overrated if you go in there thinking it is going to be amazing, but for a normal store they are very good. They are employee owned and non union and their customer service is consistently good.
