[quote=Anonymous]Stores stock based on what people buy.

Where I live, there's a MOMs and a Giant.  Guess who does better business?  Giant.

Why?  MOMs is expensive.  Their produce especially.  And they have actually less variety in produce than Giant.  And honestly, they stock just as many processed foods.  They just market them as healthy.

I find Wegmans to be too much like Whole Foods.  Everyone tells me they are "cheaper than Giant or Safeway," but that hasn't been my experience at all.  I also don't believe they're any healthier.  They seem to have just as much high calorie, high fat items.  Again, they're just marketed differently.   I also think that Wegmans tries to do too many things.  They almost remind me of those super Walmarts, with all kinds of different sections.  Of course, they're more upscale.

I've never tried Aldi.  I do like Trader Joe's, but they don't meet all of my grocery needs, so a trip there always means a trip to another grocery store to get the things they don't have.  But I do feel like I get a lot for the money I spend at Trader Joe's.

Well over a decade ago, I used to live near a little tiny independent grocery store.  That was actually my favorite.  They had everything I needed, reasonably priced.  They didn't have all the bells and whistles, but my shopping experience was always fast, pleasant, and reasonably priced.[/quote]
