Ah, see, reading this and your other comments... the "alternative" supermarkets (Aldi's, Bloom, any kind of Job Lot store, even a Wal-Mart with a grocery section) are all over 40 minutes' drive away. Wegman's is the best of the big-box bunch for us and they're still 30 minutes away. We have to make do with Safeway (EVIL) and Giant mainly, and sometimes run over to Trader Joe's for good produce.
That's the disadvantage of more urbanized living. In NYC there were always good farmer's markets but that's markedly less true here in DC/NoVA, which makes me sadface. :-(
And about the only thing I used to like about Florida when I used to visit my grandparents there was Publix, hehe. Man they have a great bakery!
