Whichever is the closest and cheapest. Which happens to be a large Woolworths chain. Small supermarkets are very rare here. All the independant supermarkets have united under IGA (independant grocers association) in order for them to be able to go head to head with the big chains.

The smaller ones.. just because they're within walking distance of my apartment.

I prefer the big ones though. But they're also more expensive.

I shop at Trader Joes. Its a small chain, sells gourmet and organic foods, and is a hell of a lot cheaper than the bigger chains. Who says you can't have quality and price?

Wal-Mart or Target, the prices at Dillon's, Food4Less (HA! A scam), and Price Cutter are off the WALL.

I shop where it's cheapest. For tofu, that means the local co-op. For most other things, that means chain stores. I'd like to shop more locally, but at the end of the month shopping locally doesn't help pay the rent.

Both. I do the weekly shopping at a large chain, where I can get everything we've run out of that usually isn't available or is outrageously expensive at the local store. But I still spend 50-75 wk there picking up staples, forgotten dinner ingredients and the like.

Even regular Target stores here have a grocery section, of like milk and frozen stuff. But the Super Targets have everything. You don't want to go near their produce though, they are notorious for leaving moldy food out for sale

Yeah we really don't need them either, but I shop at it for a lot of things - their meat is actually pretty high quality, it was rated some of the best in the country. And everything else is really cheap there, they just don't have a lot of variety.

Do you have Coles over there?? Coles, Kmart and Target are in the same 'family' sorta thing so I doubt we'll get groceries in target

Nope I don't think we have those - just Kmart, Wal-Mart and Target. Target is the only acceptable one!

oh ok we dont have wal-mart.. coles is for groceries only, kmart is like target but more for the lower class, while target is more middle class.. I'll still buy cosmetics from Kmart though if theyre cheaper, theyre still the same brands.. We also have Myer which is like the upper class version of kmart n target, they dont have as big a range though and for exactly the same thing same brand and all you pay almost double.. only thing i really buy from those stores is cosmetics and cds, Myer i might buy doona covers n pillows from occasionally

Large and cheap supermarkets. Local groceries would only be for those specialty items you couldn't get at the supermarket.
