Congratulations on the Who Gives a Shit post of the year.
So all you so called “men” allow your women to buy all your shit to grill with and don’t shop for yourselves? You racist Repubs need to understand that there are better options in the world than Wal Mart
Not even close, I do all the grocery shopping but I also don’t get on message boards to discuss grocery stores
This man leaves the old lady at home, and buys his stuff at Galesburg Meat Company. Man place, with many carcasses hanging on hooks. Slice and package whatever the hell I want.
My woman can buy my meat. She used to have a cattle farm, she knows beef better than any of you.
I basically have these options: Walmart (fvck no), Kroger (fvck yes, we have ghetto, regular, and Gucci Kroger options), Aldi (limited selection, good prices, their Kinroo Blue beer is delicious and only $6.49 a sixer), and Meijer (I don't like it, ours kinda smells). So Kroger it is, usually "regular" Kroger but sometimes Gucci, which has a fabulous cheese shop.
Costco's, Harris Teeter's, Publix's
Who am kidding. I don't go to the grocery store if I don't have to.

I'd rather slam my dick in a screen door than go grocery shopping. buy half a beef that a couple buddies raise every other year and buy from a local butcher shop when I run out. Wife goes to either the only local option, shop n save, or to Martin's in keyser, 45 min drive away.
I don't shop, period.

The Kroger my daughter shops at in Cincinnati has a bar in it. I can hear you now: "Honey, I'm going to the store...."
You morons railing on the grocery store discussion have clearly never been to Wegmans.
Warm summer day? You can go to the salmon stand outside, grab a plank with fresh cooked salmon on it, and enjoy it before doing your shopping. Too hot to sit outside? Go inside to the oyster bar and have a glass of wine with your oysters or any of dozens of choices of beer.
Kids have to come along? Send them upstairs to the children's play area with the store babysitter, movies, and tons of toys for them.
The place not only wins best grocery store every year, but it also is almost always in the top few for best places to work in the entire country. But what do you expect from yet another New York creation?

Just send me to Hell or New York City, it'd be about the same to me...
that sounds like a blast, are you f'ing kidding me? Still a grocery store and who would want to take their damn kids. Let me hang out for hours in a grocery store with the kids and 1,000 other people. Hell with that.
I rather get kicked in the nutsack with steel toe boots.
I shop the local Food Fair. Only about 20,000 square feet, I know where everything is, and can be in and out in under 15 minutes for a full shopping trip. If it's just a few items, I can be back to the car before the next song starts.
when we first got married, probably a year in, she wanted me to take her shopping. you know where i live . . . winchester or harrisonburg is the closest shopping. so, i agreed. get to winchester and i pull into a bar/grille.
her: "what are you doing?"
me: "pick me up when you're finished, honey, have fun!."
after about 4 hours of watching football, making friends, eating, and getting sloshed, she comes in. i'm ripped, around a $90 bar tab. she's never asked me to take her shopping since.
especially the "oysters with wine at the grocery store" post above. deere lourde.
Wegman sounds like a German name to me, so it makes complete sense for libs to like a German grocery, since they hate Jews. Just FYI, Horrock's Farm Market has been doing this for 20 years. They have 30 beers on tap, and the best selection of craft beers and wine in town. Sushi bar, coffee bar, pizza bar, local produce and meats, pretty much everything, but you can't get yourself a latte with coconut milk, so you probably wouldn't like it. Plus, it's all white trash, rednecks, Mexicans, and colored folk. Even my one black friend hangs out there.
So, doesn't mean I want to go to the damn grocery store and put them in daycare. That sounds absolutely miserable for everybody involved.
They allow black boys in the play area, so your daughter would love it there.
Yeah, going to Kroger is much better. Who wouldn't want to shop for food at a place that smells and looks like it hasn't been renovated in thirty years? Who wouldn't want to shop for food at a place where the aisles only allow space for one typical West Virginian/Ohio fat ass to walk through it at the same time, which means you spend half of the time trying to jump over people? Who wouldn't want to shop for food at a place where the deli, bakery, and produce sections have food that appear to be two days past their "best if used by" date? Who wouldn't want to shop for food at a place that requires a 15 minute line to checkout? Who wouldn't want to shop at a place where they carry an average of 1.5 brands?
The most vocal board racist boasting about a place that has a ton of diversity including Mexicans and blacks. You morons try so hard to fit an ideology and are too dumb to realize you contradict yourselves on everything.
Obviously you haven't stepped into a Kroger in years...
Most central OH locations have been expanded and remodeled. They include a full bar, and the aisles are very wide. I mean, kids don't have a place to play with stuffed giraffes, but why would someone plan to be at the store that long anyway? The future is likely in grocery stores expanding their services to include home delivery, since most don't want to hang out all afternoon, eating oysters and sipping wine.

true that. Every Kroger in central Ohio is first class that I have seen. I only know of one in southern ohio that would fit that description.
First, you are taking this way too seriously.
Second, why do you think the phrase "Gucci Kroger" exists? Because new Kroger stores have cooked food, wine and craft beer bars,etc. There are Kroger stores with child care areas. All that shit you are bragging about. Like we give a fvck. We want to get in and get out.
Rifle thinks we are in there buying cans of lard, smoking Camels, and spitting our backy juice on the floor.
Florida and Texas have plenty of Kroger locations.
Let me dumb it down for you: if you have a week's full of groceries to get, it would take 45 minutes to get all of it and checkout. Take away the two whiny brats who you have to lug around, and suddenly that goes down to 30 minutes since you walked them over to the daycare part of the store. You just saved 15 minutes and a headache over not having to deal with them while shopping for your groceries.
And since the Disney thread already established that you don't love your children as much as many other parents love their children, you won't have an issue being without them for 30 minutes.
Let me dumb this down for you again: instead of you, the wife, and the two brats having to take 45 minutes each to shop, your brats can play for 30 minutes, and you can sit down and grab a bite to eat and a beer while your wife shops for 30 minutes. Suddenly, instead of four people working (45 minutes each of getting groceries and trying to maneuver around a crowded, dirty Kroger), only one person is doing the work for 30 minutes while the other three enjoy themselves.
Let me dumb it down again: arrive at the store and place an order for your lobster to be broiled, certain meals to be made, etc.? Well, instead of waiting around 30 minutes for it, you can now sit down and have some salmon or any of their huge buffet options.
Yeah, just like the Corolla has been updated since 1980. It's still a fvcking Corolla while everyone else is driving a Bentley (a fair comparison between Kroger and Wegmans).
You should ask the Kroger executives that question since they seem to have implemented children daycare/play areas while the parents shop.
Oh, I see. Kroger stores have the same things as Wegmans . . . which is why Wegmans continues to be voted the best grocery store and Kroger doesn't even get ranked.
Wegmans not only wins the overall award, but it also tops the quality category due to its produce, meat, and bakery dominating any other grocery store. Meanwhile, at Kroger . . .
Yep, and that was one of the categories. Layout/checkout availability/time were included in the rankings. In other words, Wegmans can get you in and out better than Kroger.
who gives a shit, it is a grocery store. I don't want to hang out in a grocery store. You take all day or something? If I had to shop it would be strategically plan. I would probably do that shit on-line and pick it up. I don't want to go and sit in a grocery store.
Yeh Krogers is so bad. That is why they had 105 billion in sales in 2017. Wegmans had 9 billion.

Just because you grew up without a father doesn't mean you have to act like it. You really are clueless when it comes to what families do, aren't you?
Families sure as fvck don't go to hang out at grocery stores. In fact, they spend as little time there as possible. Just because you're a loser without a wife and kids at the age of 40, and you hang out at grocery stores for a good time, that doesn't mean anyone else likes to do the same.
But you keep doing it. Hell, maybe you'll finally meet someone there who can tolerate you enough to get married, then you'll see how much your life changes.
How is WV's education system by the way? They can't be #55 ranked.
My wife does 99% of the grocery shopping.
Like I mentioned, I love to grocery shop when I can (child free). I like Whole Foods and Wegmans but my frugality trumps where I/we as a family typically shop.
We use Trader Joes and Kroger for 90% of the stuff. If cooking something special we'll go to Whole Foods and/or the butcher shop. The cost savings in my experience between WF or Wegman's versus TJ's/Kroger is enough to make it worth it. I can afford to shop at WF’s exclusively, but I'd rather spend that money elsewhere. Plus, like others have said kids at the grocery store sucks - so we pre order and just pick up Kroger via click list drive up.
I agree about the heterogeneity of Kroger. Some are really nice, some are just OK, and some are dumps.

true black. My sons are all college age now. However we never would have went to the store and dropped them off in daycare so we could shop and save 15 minutes LOL. Crap getting them settled in would take 15 minutes. That's why you have a wife.The two of you make a team. Either she does the grocery gig or you do it when the kids are little. Maybe you can have grandma over so you can go together.Taking the boys to Kroger was always an adventure when they were little.
