Now, even though Publix is great, I may every once in a while, on occasion, sometimes, go to Fresh Market. I enjoy just walking around looking at all the random and local stuff you can't find in large grocery stores.

Go home @JayKay PE, you're drunk.

I AM TRYING TO TYPE BUT MY DESK IS TOO SMALL, SO MY KEYBOARD IS SHOVED VERY FAR AWAY FROM MY HANDS.  I AM TRYING MY BEST.  T_T

And most of the time their wine and coffee selections are fantastic.

I love hearing about these stores I've never heard of. So cool! LadySquare and I usually shop at Raleys and/or Nugget (our local answer to Whole Paycheck).

I think your Fresh Market might be different from "The Fresh Market" on LI, which is expensive and not that great, tbh.  Not as good as Best Market, but they're being taken over by Lidl, so it's weird.

So do you go to walmart?

Bleck, no. I do my absolute best NOT to support the Walmart debacle but I do not shame those who do since in many parts of New England, it's the only option.

We have Hannafords (chain in NH, ME, VT, and MA based out of ME and owned by a German(?) company), Market Basket (MA chain in MA, NH, and 1 store in ME), Shaws (most of New England), Stop & Shop (doesn't exist in ME or VT that I've seen). Price Chopper is in VT and CT that I've seen

Which reminds me I need to go fill up my mug right quick.

I've gone to Publix before!  There is one around an hour from where I am in Indy.  I used to hit them up a lot when my family visited Florida

Really? I'm on their website and the closest one I'm seeing is in Clarksville, TN.  :dunno:

I think @LyceeFruit would do just fine on the frontier in 1800.

Maybe after Christmas when I get my foraging book!

I personally like going to the SUPER, and I mean SUPER sketchy Ukranian/Romanian/Korean/Kazakh store for certain staples.

Yeah! The Fresh Market. The two I've been to have been good.

I was thinking of exploring the ethnic grocery they have around here.  I'm just looking for leeks, ********, and it seems like there are none to be found here!

I'm so concerned about your grocery store options. Struggles with poblano peppers AND leeks?!

Thanks @LyceeFruit, I've never heard of ANY of these!

There 1 Trader Joes and 1 Whole Foods in the state of Maine right now too.

I just google mapped it.  Looks like it was an error in the "whitehall plaza" location (I guess there are multiple white halls here?  Who knew)

So, basically, Maine = Mars.

There's also Pricerite in CT which I liked. And Shoprite in CT (which I think is in NJ too). I went to those 2 plus Aldi when I lived in CT.
