Jake Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I usually shop at Target. When I lived in Colorado there was a Target and Sunflower next to each other -- I'd go to Sunflower first and fill in the gaps at Target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I live near Howard station and the freakin Dominicks is closing by me. I just sold my car too so now I have to figure out how I can do my grocery shopping since it's no longer walking distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morse Fresh grocery is great for meat/produce/deli, right next to the EL as well. However, it's not great for the non-perishables/frozen foods. For those I typically go to Target or Dominicks (there's one on Ridge a mile or two away, not great for walking for you though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shop there too, but like Aldi they don't have everything you need. I've also "soured" on them a bit recently. We've purchased a couple of refrigerated items in the last few months that were like 3-4 weeks past their expiration date. Kinda screwed up their image with me after dealing with that. At least we're now more cognizant about checking those dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know about them, I am just trying to find a decent store that is walking distance. I didn't miss my car for longest time but now, I have a feeling I'll need one soon.

Not sure why either, didn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Whole Foods may be buying the Dominick's in the West Loop. It won't be Mariano's, unless they want 2 stores within 200 feet of each other.

RockRaines Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 10:24 AM) That sucks. Shotgun season just opened back up in Illinois today. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year. There are some monster bucks where we hunt. So true. But every so often, you get lucky. One of the biggest mistakes a hunter can make is hurry to find a deer that they have just shot. If you didn't drop it right on the spot, it's going to run. If it's not dead yet and you walk up on it, it'll get up and run for days, meaning you will never find it. Thankfully I've never had that issue, nor ever seen it happen to any of the hunters I know. I've never had a deer run more than 40 yards from where I shot it. Why do you hunt with a gun? Seems to take the sport out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do most grocery shopping at Jewel, use the Mariano's for quick stuff/sometimes hot bar and mainly the bigger beer selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Marianos started out awesome, now with all the others opening you'll see the quality and availability of the produce as gone down hill and they jacked up the prices on most items. I compared two receipts within months of each other and it was funny how much they raised prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear it used to have actual salami in it. Back to the spicy italian for me. 2 dollar meatball is the steal of the century IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
