Favorite grocery store and why

I was making short rib ragu the other day so I went to Canale's in Eastern Market because they always have boneless short ribs, then I went to Trader Joe's for a $4 bottle of wine to cook with, then I went to Safeway for the rest of the ingredients, all on my walk home from work.

Other than Canales, this is a relatively recent thing for DC.

So you’re a single woman without kids living in Capitol Hill who wastes time stopping at several stores to make one simple meal? Sounds like something a Midwest transplant would say. And their relatives back home are like that’s nice dear, we just drive our Chevy Tahoe over to Meijer or Kroger or Whole Foods and the worker loads it up.

Yep. Ick.

Maybe living in a dense metropolitan urban area isn't for some people.

My favorite is whatever is nearby at the time. If I could pick one to be nearby, it would be a Wegmans.

LOL, wrong. Male DC native, but it's certainly telling that you assume only a woman would be picking up groceries and making food.

I used to go to IKEA, unfortunately it is far for me.
Love the frozen meatballs , beetroot , cracker bread, frozen desserts, candy and chocolate.

Male or female, it's still weird you think it's a flex or admirable to piss away your free time walking to several stores for a simple meal. You're not saving a couple bucks, you're just wasting scarce free time.

I've been in his place. It wasn't a waste of time but a pleasure, if you enjoy cooking and shopping. So I can defend him. I've also learned from trial and error to just go to Whole Foods or Wegmans and get everything there. Learned that too! But he may not have either options close by.

This is me exactly.

Apparently it's also how some bored and lonely Americans shop too. Reminds me of obnoxious New Yorkers glorifying their disgusting bodegas (as if shitty corner stores don't exist everywhere).

That could be used scrolling instagram or raging on DCUM.

Never thought of the store as a grocery store. Restaurant yes
