Super, this market


Supermarket loyalty runs deep.  Well, maybe as deep as the point card on your keychain.  But nevertheless, if you're like me, you have a favorite supermarket.

Consumer Reports recently published results of surveys on 59 different US supermarket chains.  All supermarkets were graded on service, quality of produce and meat, price, and cleanliness.  Then the grades were combined into an overall score, and the supermarkets ranked. 

Some near the top: Trader Joe's, Publix, Costco, and Whole Foods.  

Some near the bottom: A&P, Wal Mart Supercenter, and Food Lion.

  1. I am a supermarket snob. When looking at a new area to move to, I also look at the grocery store. The last time around, we eliminated places based on supermarkets. I am also one of the crazy people who drive to different supermarkets for different items.
