“What's not to love about Aldi?! Great prices and food that has little to no synthetic materials. If you're looking to stay within budget, avoid the aisle of shame because they have great items for great prices as well!”
“We were passing by for work and I’m so glad we stopped by this amazing store. Everything is fresh here, bread, fish, caviar, and a large selection of cakes. They even had my favorite Russian candies, and they were as fresh as at home. The service was excellent, and the staff were very polite. All the products are fresh with a great variety. Overall, this is a wonderful store with a wide selection of products.”
“I only visited to pick up on online order. That was the quick and easy part. The online ordering process wasn't. Meijer's website was slow and cumbersome. Each item in a category was scattered across all the category pages. You'd be looking for peanut butter and find Skippy on page 2, Jif on page 6, Peter Pan on page 9, organic on page 10, and the store brand also on page 10. No similar items were ever listed together.”
“I just want to give a shout out to the manager that is on duty this morning who went above and beyond to help me figure out why my coupon was not ringing up correctly. She went back and verified everything and come to find out I was getting the wrong product. She was so kind to return my purchase and gave me no issues. The store also seemed pretty understaffed so to me that shows that she truly cares about her position. Great customer service!! Which is refreshing in these kind of times.”
“I've been in Target stores since I was very little having grown up in Minnesota. This store is typical of almost all of the Target stores that I've been to. It's a very nice store with great selections that appears to be very well run. We stopped in looking for a microwave today as our old one bit the dust. They had a very nice selection at fair prices. We found one that perfectly fits our needs and the cabinet space! People at the cash registers were efficient and friendly. It's a good store!”
“When you see April -shorter woman, brown hair with glasses- be very nice to her. She went above and beyond for me when I could not find a packing box in the size that I needed. Made my day. Thank you April 💙”
“I ordered cupcakes and a small wedding cake on Saturday June 2nd and they were absolutely delicious ( no one could believe that I got them at Walmart) pretty ( the butter cream icing was amazing) , and very affordable. Thank you so much and I will definitely order all of my cakes/cupcakes here from now on.”
“With online shopping, I don't make it out to Wal-Mart often but when I do I'm always impressed with their stock and low prices. Possibly too impressed because I always get more than I planned on getting because I see stuff that I forgot to put on my list or forgot I needed altogether. I don't have that problem when I shop online, I have the opposite problem and tend to forget to get the most important item I really needed, like this trip was to get the dog food that I had forgotten to include with my online order. Since I was in person I tried the scan and go option Walmart offers in their app. (I'm not sure if everyone can use Sacn&Go or if you have to be a Walmart+ member to use the feature.) The scan and go wasn't hard to use and I loved that it kept a running total for me. My only issue was not being able to complete my purchase because of needing to use two different payment methods. To remedy that I had to use the register to check out and must say that process was simple, pressed one button and the app sent my cart from the app to the register and then I was able to pay using the gift card and my debit card. I do have some unsolicited advice to Walmart, I suggest having more of your registers open that last half hour before the store closes. I had to wait in line for 5 to 10 minutes and there were several others waiting behind my in line. I noticed several registers available but not open or in use. It would help get shoppers out the door faster if they are able to check out instead of waiting on slower ppl like myself in the self check-out, just saying!”
“If you have fructose intolerance, you can read the ingredients on the ice cream in the back coolers, a lot of them don't have fructose in them! This is a rarity. I suggest blue moo or white raspberry. cash only though!”
“I regularly visit the Kroger store in Huber Heights on old Troy pike. I just had to let you know what a beautiful person Ms. Pattie is. Every time I go into the store, I see her interacting with all customers. She makes sure everyone finds everything they need. She also helps you and she always tells the customers to come back and visit. I feel like she should be recognized in some way to let her know that the community really appreciates her. Best customer service ever”
“I'm a new customer at this Kroger location. By the time I arrived from my Doctor appointment all my information was in their system and my prescription was ready. The woman that was processing my order was very kind and helpful. I'm glad to have found my new pharmacy.”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.
Walmart shoppers want a head start on the holidays, and money explains a lot of it. Some 44% of respondents call affording the holidays their top stressor, and 61% say holiday costs shape their shopping mood. Asked what would make the season easier, 70% picked lower prices and 57% picked more deals and promotions. Convenience ranks lower: 30% want one-stop shopping across categories, and 20% want faster delivery.
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
