Bye Bye Schnuck's

Our local Schnuck's grocery stores were recently bought out by Kroger, and Schnuck's closed their doors for good this past Saturday.  Even though I didn't do the majority of my grocery shopping there, I find this disgruntling for those who were avid Schnuck's shoppers or for those of us who liked to have more than one option.  I realize I could go to Wal-Mart (which I have a strong dislike for) for my groceries, but why should there be only one grocery store chain in town?  It seems like a monopoly if you ask me.  I sometimes like to shop at Fresh Market or Whole Foods, but if  I were to do that every week, we would be broke.  So I, along with everyone else, went to Schnuck's the day before they closed to see what I could buy for a major markdown.  The markdown's were only about 30%, but I did come away with a good feeling that I got some good deals. Where do you like to buy your groceries and why?

This was the loot I purchased and paid about $36.....the best deal was getting the beer for 20% off.
