I f'ing hate Scott's. Especially the one on North Clinton. Clusterf*ck USA.

I find Kroger to be more expensive than Scott's. I wonder when the prices will go up!

Really? I always found the opposite to be true. Then again...you're a mom and I'm sure I don't do nearly as much grocery shopping as you.

well. . .beer and cheetos doesn't count as grocery shopping, regardless of where you go.

I don't buy beer from grocery stores.

Actually, I rarely buy beer, period.

I have always liked Krogers prices over Scotts, but I have always liked Scotts for stickin around.

so I donno.

I don't know, my brother works at Krogers and he won't shop there because of the prices.

Heh...we were just talking about this at work this morning.

For me, its pretty easy, due to where I live...closest stores are the walmart and meijers on stellhorn...actually have to go out of our way to hit a scott's or kroger's, so this is really of little impact to me.

I personally found kroger's prices cheaper than scott's, but scott's has always had better produce and meat selections, imo. But neither of them compare to meijer or walmart in price...which ends up being one of the top two factors in where we shop. I'd really like to give kroger's/scott's more business, but I'm not going to drive out of my way AND pay more at the register to do so...

The only reason I don't shop at Meijer's or Walmart is because they are to far away. It is easier for me to run to Scott's or Kroger's. It is hard to shop with a two year old. Throw in a car ride and it is even harder!
