Harris-Teeter
You’re probably well acquainted with this grocery store if you live in the south. There ARE some people who love Harris-Teeter.
But even if you have one of these supermarkets in your hometown, you may want to do your grocery shopping somewhere else to avoid the chain’s increased prices.
Harris Teeter, which Kroger now owns, can be closely compared to Publix, which means that it’s not even trying to offer its customers low prices like some other chains have been known to do.
One good thing we should mention is that the chain HAS cut SOME costs on organic and perishable items to attract more customers who would otherwise shop at Fresh Market and Whole Foods.
I don’t shop in any of them .

I agree that Acme is an expensive food store. However, they offer great produce & meats and the store near me is never too crowded; two incredibly important reasons I prefer to shop there
how about the least expensive in the Northeast
You are correct in saying that Whole Foods is one of the most expensive food stores to do your weekly shopping. However, their meats, cheeses, poultry and other select foods are much more superior than your Walmarts, Publix’s and other food stores.
Also, Whole Foods often have weekly specials on many of their food items-making a little cheaper to shop.
I live in Chicago, and to be fair, Jewel Osco is far from the most expensive grocery store in our area. Jewel has a robust (no fee) Rewards program with rotating weekly promotions. And regular (non-promo) shelf prices are competitive with other grocery stores here. P.S. I do not work for Jewel Osco. Just want to give them a shout-out.
Thank you for sharing your research. My regular grocery store isn’t on your list. Each time I shop, which is about every 4 or 5 days, the prices constantly rise. My last bill of $85.00 consisted of four plastic bags. The regular grocery items I purchase have increased by 2 dollars and a few items even more. I am spending 60 – 70 percent more on food each month.
