Meijer.  IIRC you don't have one near you.  I shop there because
the one near me has the best produce.  The fact that they have
low prices is just a bonus.  I use their loyalty program (sparingly)
and they occasionally send me coupons for stuff like $10 off a $30
purchase.  Their online coupons are mostly for stuff I don't buy,
so I don't even bother checking.

  our most local Meijer store is more expensive than several
alternatives.  i do go there from time to time to check a
few items but often their prices are higher enough to make a
longer drive to the cheaper stores worth it.

  i do agree though that their produce section is much better
than almost any other place around.

  i was born in GR so Meijers was a normal visit for food
and a few other things.

  Wallys does better on a lot of prices, but now we have to
see how thing shake out.

I don't look for stuff on sale.  If something I already want/need
is on sale and isn't perishable, I might buy an extra.

  we don't have a lot of space for extras.  i've got a few of
the more bulky things stashed in my closets in my room but i
don't want much more (every extra item means it takes me more
time to clean or get at something else).
