The big chains - Wal-Mart, Kroger and Tom Thumb is what you used to think of, but now we have more choices. Super Target, Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market and those Buy in Bulk Membership Clubs - Costco and Sam's are available. I have storage problems with buying in bulk, but the prices are great if you do not mind packages of 3-5.
Braum's has the best choices of ice cream flavors and a surprising selection of produce for that got to pick up quick items. Albertson is in Lewisville, for those items only they have.
Sprouts has become my Wednesday double ads day place for fresh produce and meats. Newly opened Aldi has great prices, but limited selection and coming soon specialty retailers Market Street, opening Fall 2013 and Whole Foods Market, opening 2014, The Shops of Highland Village, will be in the area choice list. We used to have to drive to Colleyville and Plano. Both stores come with some great pre-made specialty foods.
Even with all these new choices I still go to Southlake's Central Market for the best soups, breads and fresh meat. Central Market has wonderful chef cooking classes. Friends and relatives still are talking about Trader Joe's which just in 2012 came to the Metroplex. "You have got to go there ..." they say. It is still on my list.
Kroger is still my go to place for when I need to buy the weekly groceries and pick up something fast. Best selection and good prices. Tom Thumb's $5 Friday is my husbands favorite!
