I live near a wegmans and spend way too much money on prepared foods and things I don't need. Giant has great sales, I could get what I needed for much less.

Ever since Wegman's opened near me I have not stepped foot in a Giant or Safeway in years. I sometimes go to Harris Teeter in an emergency, but never for more than 3 things.

My in laws live near a Giant and we've had to stop there for them and the produce looks awful, especially when my frame of reference is Wegman's.

I cant find anything in these super sized grocery stores, that is why I prefer Trader Joes.

Safeway is worse!

We have a pretty shitty collection of Giants (and also Safeways) in Arlington. Harris Teeter is my go-to.

We have a Wegmans nearby and I haven't been to a giant since Wegmans opened in this area in 2003 or 2004. We went to the one on Waxpool Rd for a while and then to the one in Fairfax.

Giant sucks, especially the western FFX co ones. They know there's no real alternative nearby. Whenever possible, I'll go to Harris teeter or wegmans.

Giant's frozen, wild-caught salmon is a great deal. Same for the wild-caught frozen shrimp they have.

Wouldn't buy the "fresh" farm-raised though.

I miss Giant Eagle. It's not so much the food, It's the two hours of free babysitting. I miss that child-free mid-shop lunch at the cafe more than anything.
