I have to hit up the local farm stand. They have a pick your own section, with peaches, peppers and tomatoes. However, it's a fucking circus from now through Thanksgiving. Every year I say I'm going to start a garden, and every year I never have the time.

QUOTE (Idiot savant @ 13/8/2021, 22:06) QUOTE (Meow2 @ 13/8/2021, 21:59) Marnie always had me curious about HEB  never been to one and I love seeing different grocery stores at Whole Foods I always end up with random stuff I don't need same with Trader Joe's. I'd get so sidetracked by all the things they had that my grocery store didn't luckily (?) I'm further away from civilization now so I'd have to burn some gas to get to WF or TJs lol HEB is pretty awesome, but if you are ever in Utah, go to Harmon’s. It’s outstanding. Someday I hope to go to a Wegman’s. And I always recommend Publix even though we don’t have them in Texas.
Wegmans is amaaaaazing
QUOTE (ColdOne @ 13/8/2021, 22:07) I LOVE browsing new grocery stores. I literally have "check out Meijer" on my local activities list haha
Same, and my husband is the same way. We always check out grocery stores when we travel, it’s entertainment to us. When wegmans opened in my area I think I was there for two hours on the day it opened 😂

Pacific Northwest here.
If whole foods = whole paycheck, then PCC market or metropolitan market = whole paycheck x2.
Jen would abso-fricking-lutely love to shop here for non-conventional anything

Pickle those jalapeños! That’s what I did, sooo good. No new garden since we moved, it’s a must for next year.

Y’all 
I thought we hit rock bottom during the c-word discussions, but the price of various coloured peppers is definitely worse

I just went to TJ's before this conversation so I'm kinda bummed I couldn't add recommendations to my list. It was stupid busy so I didn't peruse as much as usual though. I love the white cheddar puffs, all the fun spice blends, the cranberry walnut chicken salad, most of the frozen stuff, and obviously cookie butter everything. I also love the seasonal stuff, like pumpkin bread mix and peppermint Joe Joe's.
I hate Whole Foods. I usually get regular groceries from Super Target and Publix. Pub subs are ~magical~ as are the baked beans in the deli area.

I think the layout of Wegman's is designed for browsing, it's terrible but amazing
Also I've been meaning to go to TJs for noms but it's a zoo on the weekends. Manchego cheese, GF crackers, red quinoa, chocolates, frozen Indian meals, maybe even tater tots if I'm feeling frisky.

My husband built me this for Mother's Day this year. I love it. Container gardening is so easy. It's a lot easier than all of my raised beds I have. All it takes is a couple of buckets with holes drilled in them and you can be a gardener.

QUOTE (Bangle Bitch @ 8/13/2021, 05:46 PM) I really want to see a Wegman’s and HEB some day. I also wish we had Publix up here.
Never been in a Wegman, BUT HEB and their Central Market stores are THE BEST EVER. Fresh produce, a real meat and seafood market, with butchers and fish mongers. You see them actually cutting and trimming fish and they will cut your meat to order while you wait. Heaven. And they stand behind their product. Bought a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving, opened the package Thanksgiving morning and it had gone bad. Took it back (had the receipt) and yes they are open Thanksgiving. I spoke with the butcher, he refunded my money and walked me over the the fresh turkey counter and said "pick one you like". No charge. No hassle. No questions.
They stand behind everything, and you pay by the pound for produce most all of the time. Trader Joes makes me nuts charging PER BANANA rather than by the pound. For me? TJ's is a rip off. No real meat market, everything prepackaged from who knows where, nothing fresh made in the store. Nope. Not a fan or WF either. They've turned my WF into an Amazon shipping center, almost done away with fresh anything. BUT lots of huge shipping carts and wagons everywhere. Nope. It's HEB/Central Market and Kroger. They have a meat market with butcher too. YAY!
And Walmart and Sams or Costco for packaged things and larger sized things.

There's a Wegmans nearby that I've never been into and you all are making me want to go there this weekend.

I made an 8x4 garden once. Grew tomatoes, cukes, squash and banana peppers. You do not need a lot of space, for sure.

I had an insane day. We lost power for a couple hours due to a storm. I had to start bailing water from my sump pump. I called my husband and told him to come home. Thank God the kids were here to carry buckets away as I filled them. I'm exhausted. It didn't phase them because they are running around.  And of course dh pulled in the driveway just as power went on. Now I need to buy a backup for the sump pump because I never want to do this again.
Anyway, I love Trader Joe's but do not like Whole Foods. I shop mostly at Trader Joe's and our local grocery store chain. Sometimes I go to Sprouts. I tried Amazon Fresh when I visited my mom in California and I hated it. They didn't have a lot of the things we were shopping for, so it was a waste of time.
It's hatch chile season! I bought about 12 of them today. Tomorrow I'm going to roast them. I'll get more next week to roast and freeze for future use. They are the best chiles.
For Disney World I think we have used Garden Grocer in the past. Have a great trip! The summer crowds are dying down now.
