Your Favorite Supermarket
 

I'm a bit shocked this hasn't yet been a thread.

Nevertheless, based on the diversity and quality of products, I tend to think gourmet market in Bangkok, some Migros in Istanbul, city market in Mexico City, and Ametller Origen in Barcelona top my list, plus an * for Japanese konbini.

If I had to choose two -- which I don't -- from the US, I suppose netcost and Mariano's are sufficient. My taste buds of course would clamor for Trader Joe's, but they put a lot of weird [things] in their merch. Plus, their produce sucks.

Tokyo Fish Market, Berkeley CA. Plenty more than fish, so I put it in the "super" department.

overall:
Sunset Foods, highland park il

At home:
safeway / Trader Joe’s / Costco - staples
Kukje - Asian
prepared foods - Gus’ Market

Really, Safeway? From Baltimore to Berkeley, I haven't found one worthy of a repeat visit.

But I'm curious to read why you like them.

US: Wegman's, Central Market, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.

Locally: Fresh Farms (thanks to an FT tip)

Safeway, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, but I suspect this is probably the list of almost everyone in the Bay Area.

El Corte Ingles in Spain, La Comer in Mexico and Wegman's, Trader Joe's in the USA. Quebec grocery shopping is quite dull.

What I appreciated about El Corte Ingles is that they cooked the seafood for you while you shopped. It helped this tourist out a couple of times, especially when trying those percebes.

La Grànde Épicerie in the 7eme in Paris.

convenience everyday groceries as needed - I go there often as I’ll walk and fetch a few items every few days.

i used to buy CDs, vinyl, postcards and books at El Corte Ingles :-)

We prefer to shop at local grocery stores, Dorignac’s, Rouse’s & Robért’s. We try to avoid national chains.

They just opened a number of Wegman’s in the Raleigh Durham area. Become a big fan of them.

My wife loves Trader Joe’s — otherwise Harris Teeter is the common option in my neck of the woods.

When I lived in Chicago (close to 10 years ago now), they had just opened up Mariano’s across the street from me (Lakeshore East) and I was a big fan. But no idea how it is these days

Ingles - Ellijay, GA

Edeka - Terminalstraße Mitte 18, 85356 München-Flughafen, Germany

Netto - Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin

IMHO, Mariano's has gone downhill.
