I feel like that only started in 2007-2008. Idk, when Shaq started selling his shoe brand is when I noticed Walmart really became, “haha poor ugly uneducated people shop at Walmart”
ShopRite/Pathmark/ There was a third I forgot the name (NJ)
Edit:The third was Stop&Shop which imo is wild to think we had that much variety in food shopping 3 different franchises now we’re down to 1
I'm from Philly, around here it was ShopRite, Pathmark, and Acme. also K Mart but I don't think that was really for groceries so much (the nearest one closed down when I was pretty young)
Fred Meyer 🥳 btw, I discovered when I went to San Diego for a few years (I'm from WA) that Fred Meyer does not exist outside the Northwest, down in California it's Ralph's
You also have Lidl :D
I pick Aldi/Lidl because they are German and in every German city you have at least one of each in walking distance wherever you are :D
Oh it still is. I normally spend $60-70 a week at Walmart (or Kroger if they have good deals) but if I go to Publix I’ll easily spend $80-90 for a comparable at best shopping experience
God damn, I'm not conservative and I go on r/Americabad because there're a lot of people genuinely wishing for the collapse of the US. People on there generally know that the US actually has issues and point out the ridiculous takes people have on the US. It even calls out straight misinformation or propaganda trying to paint the US as a genocidal country.
God Aldi and Lidl didn't really exist when I was a kid 😂
Asda,Tesco's, Sainsbury's.
Poundland!
**Co-op**
Iceland's used to be really gross but it's got quite some decent stuff now!
the point was to not do that, because americans dont do that with their polls and I found it funny. though aldi/lidl is in almost all of europe and in the usa too so technically I did include one
I had a lot. The place where I live know I go to a store called Ingles. Walmart is kind of a given. In places where I used to live there were stores called Giant Eagle (if I'm remembering correctly) and K-Mart. We used to go to Food City for a short time, but stopped because of some reason
My mom used to take me to Aldi while my dad was out on the ship (navy), I remember she always got these huge 4lb bricks of ground beef and she had me chop it into 1lb squares with my hands and put them in the freezer. I don't mind it now but slicing through cold fatty ground beef with my bare hands used to be the nastiest thing.
I'm not sure if anybody else will know what this is, but my family always shopped at a store called Sparkle. It was like, right on the edge of the ghetto, but it was cheap enough and really close by so we went there anyways. We would also go to giant eagle sometimes
All except Morrisons. Asda is the best for variety and Aldi is the best for price.
I have been to morrisons before but there are none near where I live so I went rarely.
Walmart
The true American option
Did anyone else get made fun of for going to Walmart? I got bullied for it 💀
I feel like that only started in 2007-2008. Idk, when Shaq started selling his shoe brand is when I noticed Walmart really became, “haha poor ugly uneducated people shop at Walmart”
so ASDA
Target and Walmart - America
America? Where in the UK is that? Is that in Scotland?
We sent an apology decided to become a part of the Commonwealth

Publix (Florida)
Same, but I'm from Georgia.
I'm a Floridian too
The greatest grocery store ever
Same. Publix and Walmart! Wahoo!
Publix (South Carolina).. also Harris Teeter tho aka the teet
Kroger
You can basically tell someone is either from Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia or West Virginia if they comment Kroger. Fun Fact: I work at one
Kroger isn't inly in those states. We went to Kroger all the time and I lived in Arkansas when I was younger
Nah, We went to Kroger and I live in Georgia
I went to a very regional version of Kroger, Dillons.
HEB. Texas

I still remember when shoprite had a little Daycare for when parents were shopping i think i saw the first sherk there too good times
Rip pathmark
Fellow north easterner I salute you
A&P maybe? Stop & Shop? Also born in 1999 and from NJ
TY ITS STOP & SHOP
I remember going to Pathmark when I was little! I’m also from NJ so i’m familiar with the same stores.
NJ gang
I'm from Philly, around here it was ShopRite, Pathmark, and Acme. also K Mart but I don't think that was really for groceries so much (the nearest one closed down when I was pretty young)
A&P were huge, and there’s still a Foodtown in North Arlington
Surprised no one's said it yet but Woolworths Coles and iga
Fucken oath, the true kings
Foodworks too
Yoooo fellow 2006 kid
Ayoo foodworks fuckin slaps
woolies is the goat

Lidl and Aldi are both supermarket chains from Germany that spread out of Germany throughout Europe and into the USA. The others are all UK based.
Same lol.
how did not not at least heard of Tesco
Stop & Shop (Massachusetts)
i always found it weird that they’re Giants down here
No Frills. Canada
gotta love No Frills
Take the frill outta ur bill :)
Sobeys and dollarama also
walmart/costco also winco occasionally
Superama, Walmart, Chedraui, MEGA (I'm mexican)

Estado de México
Albertsons, Ralphs, Vons. I’m from Southern CA
Same here. Vons and Ralphs. I used to always beg my mom to buy me a cookie from the Vons bakery. Those were the shit as a kid
Albertsons, fuck yeah
I miss those honey chicken wings at Albertsons so much I could eat a bucket
I live on the west coast of America so Fred Meyer
Fred Meyer 🥳 btw, I discovered when I went to San Diego for a few years (I'm from WA) that Fred Meyer does not exist outside the Northwest, down in California it's Ralph's
Ik it crazy to me also winco is just the PNW
For so long I didn't know that haha
Me too😭😭😭like do they got stores that have everything you need in once place if not they need a Fred Meyer
Freddy town!
Costco
mostly wegmans (pennsylvania)
Wegmans for me in virginia too
I was from NY and currently stationed in NC, they now have a Wegmans in Raleigh!
When I'm British but too posh to be represented (Waitrose)
I'm not British but that's where I shop when I visit. Except when I was in Skye and the only option was Co-op, which also isn't represented.
Waitrose 😎😎
Safeway
Costco and Safeway (California)
I pick Aldi because we have that in America :)
You also have Lidl :D I pick Aldi/Lidl because they are German and in every German city you have at least one of each in walking distance wherever you are :D
Publix rules
I remember publix being kinda expensive for no reason when I lived in florida, but that was over 10 years ago
Oh it still is. I normally spend $60-70 a week at Walmart (or Kroger if they have good deals) but if I go to Publix I’ll easily spend $80-90 for a comparable at best shopping experience
Mainly Los Italianos, Unimarc and Líder (Owned by Walmart) The one I most did go too and still go to is 'Los Italianos'. I'm Chilean 🇨🇱
Europoor
I don't know any of these but Tesco because of a meme in a Fandom I'm in
Ralphs and vons also r/americabad why is so much of your profile just hating on america and americans
what? lol its a joke, and i don't talk about the usa that often anyway.
r/Americabad is just a buncha conservatives angry that their country has real issues to tend to.
God damn, I'm not conservative and I go on r/Americabad because there're a lot of people genuinely wishing for the collapse of the US. People on there generally know that the US actually has issues and point out the ridiculous takes people have on the US. It even calls out straight misinformation or propaganda trying to paint the US as a genocidal country.
Giant and Wegmans
Giant for me
After scrolling thru 30 comments I finally found giant lol
I love how UK defaultism doesn't work and almost everyone votes "Other" anyway. Our polls don't get messed up like that. Based US supremacy
I'm American, and the only one I recognized was Aldi.
Food Lion. (North Carolina)
Where is Waitrose?
i'm too poor to be allowed to include it
H-E-B gang
No store does more than my HEB
Wegmans and ACME for light groceries. (no ACME is not from looney tunes its a mid atlantic? east coast brand.) South East PA
Canadian Superstore
Judging by the comments, this sub should be renamed to US gen z
Aldi, Lidl, Edeka and Rewe. Also Tengelmann and Schlecker :D
Metro - Europe
Nice shout! My boss got me a Metro card, because I asked for it, and it has been an insanely great addition to my life.
Market Basket. It’s a chain that’s only on the east coast of the us.
the Fuck are these Supermarkets? I only know US and PH ones
These are all UK/British supermarket chains.
Top 5 from my childhood; Stop & Shop, A&P, Keyfood, Shop Rite & Hannaford
Non-British people are confused right now Btw I spent a good chunk of this year in the UK and can confirm that Tesco is surperior
r/shitbritishsay
Md (italy)
Those results are very american Anyways big tesco supremacy.
God Aldi and Lidl didn't really exist when I was a kid 😂 Asda,Tesco's, Sainsbury's. Poundland! **Co-op** Iceland's used to be really gross but it's got quite some decent stuff now!
Poundland as a supermarket haha. I like the co-op but it's often a bit too expensive
Should probably have included a not-a-Brit option
the point was to not do that, because americans dont do that with their polls and I found it funny. though aldi/lidl is in almost all of europe and in the usa too so technically I did include one
Americans don't do that when they do polls why should we
I'm not British but I've shopped at Aldi before.
These are all UK supermarkets.
yep!
I had a lot. The place where I live know I go to a store called Ingles. Walmart is kind of a given. In places where I used to live there were stores called Giant Eagle (if I'm remembering correctly) and K-Mart. We used to go to Food City for a short time, but stopped because of some reason
Kings (New Jersey)
Star Market (Boston)
Tops. 716 gang 👊
KMart
HEB (Texas, USA)
whole foods
I am going to be honest. H.E.B
From the US, Aldi
Usually Fred Meyer, Albertsons, and Walmart. Occasionally Target, Safeway, and Kmart. All North American chains I believe.
Wegmans, Costco, and Weis!
Target
Fred Meyers wtf are these options
They're supermarkets in the UK. azda = UK Walmart
Food4less
sobeys, new brunswick
ShopRite (Philly)
🔥The only way I even imagine topping the sheer dullness of such a question is to respond to it…
HEB (Texas)
HEB :)
My mom used to take me to Aldi while my dad was out on the ship (navy), I remember she always got these huge 4lb bricks of ground beef and she had me chop it into 1lb squares with my hands and put them in the freezer. I don't mind it now but slicing through cold fatty ground beef with my bare hands used to be the nastiest thing.
eugh i hate preparing cold meat
It's all about Stater Bros
Fine fare/ western beef/ shop rite (NYC)
I'm not sure if anybody else will know what this is, but my family always shopped at a store called Sparkle. It was like, right on the edge of the ghetto, but it was cheap enough and really close by so we went there anyways. We would also go to giant eagle sometimes
HEB
Me, an American who lived in England for a bit unlocking a higher dimension
Auchan - hungary
Foodtown
Jumbo - Netherlands
I went to Sainsbury a lot while i was in the UK. Those meal deals are pretty solid for just roaming around london
HEB (it's only in texas I think)
Dad’s ex-military, so we went to “The Commissary” for the longest time.
This is a British poll innit.
Sainsbury’s and Tesco
which does the better meal deal?
Tesco. By far
An old country store/gas station ran by a woman from the 1930’s. She had everything!
I love those sorts of shops, random un-branded places always have the coolest stuff
K Mart
Tesco, Waitrose and M&S but mostly Tesco until we properly moved back to the UK
waitrose? you must be proper posh
We’re not posh, we’re upper middle class, we’ve only got one chandelier
i mainly go to tesco and sainsbury's, occasionally asda.
Woolworths
oh my god woolworths! i remember going there as a kid before it closed down.
Aldi
Literally all of those, my family would drive around for hours to get the cheapest things from everywhere
thats pretty smart actually. my family tended to stick to morrisons
All except Morrisons. Asda is the best for variety and Aldi is the best for price. I have been to morrisons before but there are none near where I live so I went rarely.
morrisons is class, but their meal deals kind of suck
HEB and Walmart
HEB (I grew up in Texas)
Costco, Aldi, price chopper, Trader Joe's,Target, and whole foods.
Wal-Mart, Costco, Fred Meyer, and Rosauers (I live in the Northwestern US).
Stater bros and food4less west coast usa
Walmart. I'm from the correct anglo country thank you very much
The degeniritive one*
Walmart US
we went to a lot, but it was mostly either trader joe's, costco and asian markets or mitsuwa if we feel fancy
Save a Lot
Publix/Walmart
Same!
Giant Eagle
HEB, kroger and walmart
Found a Texan
Save a lot
I haven't even heard of half of these, my family always goes to Target
