I would love to know which grocery stores my readers prefer. Please leave a comment in the comments section so that I can hopefully link or post sales with coupons matches to your local grocery store. I can not promise all grocery stores will be matched but knowing what you want would be very helpful to make new additions.

Thanks!

  1. Susan says

    I go to Stop N’ Shop and Wegmans here in Central NJ. We don’t have any stores around here like Publix that offers double coupons or takes competitor coupons! :-(

  3. The Sancken's says

    I live in a small town so am limited to Walmart and Walgreens. I can travel about 40 minutes to get to a Target, Krogers if need be.

  6. Kari says

    I live in a small town also, and we have Hannafords, I could drive 20 miles to stop and shop in I had to but not convenient with 3 little babies.

  7. monica says

    i shop at kroger, food lion, trader joes, walgreens, whole foods and target in nashville, tn.

  8. annie_rue says

    Safeway has great coupons in their weekly ad. Sometimes inside, they have whole or half pages full. They can also be used at Von’s.

  9. Stephanie says

    H-E-B has the best prices here is S.Central Texas. When we’re in a hurry we run to Kroger.

  10. nancyl says

    Jewel (owned by Albertson’s, but I don’t know if their specials are the same), Hyvee and Schnucks.

  11. ashleigh says

    i’m in northern nj and i generally shop at shoprite because its the cheapest around. i go to walmart sometimes when i know i’ll find what i need there for less than i would at shoprite.

  12. ctheilacker says

    Walmart, Winn Dixie, and Publix for grocery items. CVS and Walgreens for misc items and we also have a Target nearby.

  13. Cindy says

    I am outside of Philadelphia and love Whole Foods, Genuardi’s, and GIANT. Whole Foods is my absolute favorite! Thanks so much!

  15. Miss Whyte says

    Giant, Safeway, Whole Foods, our new one is Bloom, and of course Target. Unfortunately it’s an hour drive to the nearest Kmart or Walmart. :-(

  18. tsmith401 says

    Food Lion, WalMart, Kroger, Ukrops. I wish we had someone that doubled coupons as well! :(

  19. Megan says

    Stop & Shop, BigY (a bit expensive so don't go here often), Whole Foods, Target. I'm a newby & also would love you to get into more detail regarding double coupons & Stop & Shop's coupon doubler. Just wondering if you have any insight with these. Thanks.

  21. marlagm says

    First, a very small word of, "Thanks & sincere appreciation for your support and hard work Ashley." We Moms have it so different now than 30+ years ago and your contribution truly helps so very many!
    'Popular Stores' in our area (Oregon): Safeway, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer, Walgreens, Trader Joe's, Roth's, Winco, Target, Whole Foods. Understandably, these are different than your 'neck of the woods'.
    So grateful for you…

  22. amhunt says

    Here in Mobile, AL we have Food World, Brunos and Wal-Mart. I hear that we are getting a Publix soon!

  25. Christy says

    I am in Kansas City where Price Chopper, HyVee, Hen House, Walmart, Target, and Whole Foods prevail.

  26. marie says

    JEWEL-OSCO!!! They are owned by alberstons but the deals are different… i can’t seem to find anything similar to your lists for jewel…. also love the walgreens, target and cvs lists you have … THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!

  27. sa says

    Cub Foods – I am in MN. Does anyone know a blogger who does coupon matching for Cub? Thanks

  32. Makeup By Alma says

    I’m in los angeles CA I go to super A, walgreens, cvs, rite aid, longs drugs, walmart,target.

  35. melyn says

    Walgreen’s, Walmart, and Meijer. I saw you recently on the Dr. Phil show, and WOW! I would love to bring home savings like that. Thank you for helping all of us frugal Moms.

  36. jleigh1982 says

    Living in the small state of Delaware limits the options but I shop at Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Food Lion, Superfresh and Acme. Superfresh does triple coupons but can be a bit pricey if you don’t watch what your buying.

  38. Deanna says

    I shop Albertson’s mostly…I’ve never run across a store that does double or triple…how do you find those or which stores can I check?

  39. Susan Hackney says

    Thanks for all you do! :) I shop at Publix, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, WinnDixie.

  41. Sarah says

    I live in Las Vegas and we shop at: Walmart, Vons, Albertsons, Fresh N Easy. There is also a Smiths here but I haven’t tried it.

  46. Angela says

    walmart, target, kroger, food lion, in that order, and then cvs and wgs for good deals!

  48. wendylea says

    I live in Iowa, so it is Hy-vee or Fareway. Although I do get to a Target or Walmart about 3-4 times a month.

  50. nightfly says

    I shop at Wegmans and Acme(part of the Albertson’s family)in Central Jersey. Acme does have Double coupon days. I also shop at Walmart, Target, CVS and Walgreens.

  52. woohoo! says

    I’m in WA and shop at Fred Meyer, Albertson’s, Costco. The problem is, as a single person with no kids, most of this coupon stuff isn’t worth doing since I don’t buy 90% of the junky sugar-and-carb loaded foods that the coupons are good for. And I find that coupons for brand names are common, but even with the coupon I save more by just buying the house brand. So while it’s great for people who do buy this stuff, there’s not a whole lot of savings for people who pretty much stick to the fresh foods sections of the grocery store.

  53. Mrs Schuster says

    A new Wal Mart Supercenter just opened near me in South Jersey so that’s where I’ve been shopping for the past few months. We don’t have a lot of the stores you mention, like Publix.

  55. Maisha82 says

    Cub foods. I’m also looking for someone who blogs on coupon-ing for Cub. Anyone know?

  62. siobhain146 says

    I just wanted to say first a big THANK YOU!! Your site and links are great..
    I'm in CT…. Price Chopper, Stop & Shop, Big Y (favorite) CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and Target are all within 10 minutes of me. Shaw's is 20 minutes away!

  64. JasonandMC says

    I just found your awesome site! I’m a teacher also and my husband is in grad school so we need all the help we can get! We have Food Lion, Lowes, Kroger, Harris Teeter, and Fresh Market – then Walmart, Target, walgreens, cvs, and rite aid.

  65. Andrea says

    I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger. At first I thought it was too expensive but when you use your Kroger card you can get some good deals, and they send you coupons for things you are most likely to use. I will also follow the sales to Hays and Country Mart here in Jonesboro, AR

  66. Amy says

    First of all, I love your site! Thank you so much for all your helpful information!!

    I shop a lot at Food Lion and Walmart here in Maryland. I’d love to see your list for Food Lion!

    Thank you :)

  70. Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! says

    I live in a small town in Texas and we ONLY have an HEB in town. I can go to Super Walmart and CVS 40 miles away, but I make sure I consolidate my errands and make it really worth the trip!

  73. mom2maddy2000 says

    Since my husband is a store manager, I have to say Publix! With all of their BOGOs and Advantage Buys, I’m able to save $75 to $100 a week on groceries.

    I like CVS and their ECBs. It’s quick and easy to find the deals. I don’t go for the whole rebate thing, so that’s why I prefer CVS over Wags.

  74. Sharon M. says

    shop most often at publix and cvs. target too for some drugstore items but not so much groceries.

  78. krice says

    I never see advertised specials for Walmart so I never know what is actually on sale. Also Pick n Save would be great

  79. rachelc says

    i shop at walmart, walgreens, owens, marsh, and cvs. thanks so much for this website from me and my family

  82. Heather says

    I shop at stop and shop and sometimes shaws or shoprite. I wish we had a walmart supercenter near me in CT

  84. srr42323 says

    Grocery Stores: Stop n’ Shop, Waldbaums, Foodtown and Keyfood…all in Bklyn, NY. Key Food is the only one offering double coupons at this point in time. I shop at Target, but don’t find the prices really that competitive. There is no Walmart in my area, but when I am out on Long Island I always do some shopping at Walmart.

  85. Michelle says

    Stop & Shop, Rite Aid Pharmacy, CVS, BJ Wholesale club, Pricerite(no coupons allowed here, Walmart, Target, K-Mart, Shaw's, Shoprite.
    Walgreens(but their is no rewards) I inquired the other day if I could sign up to get additional coupons and was told no. I am located in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
    I want to take a moment to thank you for your time and hardwork. I appreciate you sharing the information with other. I was one of the individuals that was able to catch your segment on Dr. Phil and have been using coupons a little bit more since then. The funny thing is that the week before I just started using some coupons and was very excited. What is more hilarious is that now when I am shopping I am looking in other people's carts and want to say do you know there is a coupon that you could use for that. LOL

  87. Beth says

    I am in NY, and shop at Target, WalMart, Hannaford, and Price Chopper.
    I just found this site and am so thankful that you do all of this! I’ve never used a coupon until last week, and I can’t wait to learn more!!

  92. Marie says

    I live outside of Philadelphia and we shop at Giant, Acme, and Trader Joe’s, and sometimes Aldi’s.

  94. Sweet T says

    Long Island, NY We don’t have Publix. Stop N shop, Pathmark is really good, Waldbaums and King Kullen are available to me if have any info. Thanks for listening!!

  96. Queen Bee Mom Of 3 says

    I livein the country so I have to travel at least 15 miles to get anywhere. All the surrounding cities have Kroger,CVS, and WalMart. I do go to Walgreens for the good deals, when it’s worth it….like for diapers. Thanks!

  102. Kymberly says

    Albertsons, Safeway, Fred Meyer, Target, Shop ‘n Kart, Grocery Outlet, Kmart, Rite Aid, and Walgreens are all in my town; then Walmart, and WinCo are 25 minutes away.

  103. Carolyne says

    Giant – In PA, there is not another supermarket with consistenly affordable prices. Acme next. Love the products at Trader Joe’s, but it’s pricey.

  106. Mark and Sue Ann says

    We shop primarily at Kroger (marysville,OH).
    Also go to Aldi and Wal-Mart

  108. janebabes says

    I use Stop N' Shop too! I've heard that they do double, but only coupons that have a value under a dollar I think. I would information on them though!
