QOTD: January 3

[sheila]

In the grocery store, what aisle do you go down first?

[sheila]

In both stores I go to most often, I hit produce first. There a couple stores I go to occasionally that have their produce sections in a different area and it freaks me out a little.

[EricaW]

The deli is the first stop since it is right there when you walk in the door. Then I hit the produce.

[Jayne]

Produce for both stores I shop at. I like to get it and put it up front so it doesn't get smooshed and so that it doesn't get anything wet.

[Ana975]

I have to start with the produce. If I don't, then it throws me all off and I forget everything.

[Kimberly]

I try to buy as much as possible from the outside walls of the store, so produce is first followed by the deli.

[TtownAnne]

Produce is first at my store, followed by the meats.

[Michele]

My store is backwards, dairy is first, and produce is last. It used to mess me up, but now I like it b/c my produce stays on top and doesn't get squished.

[Lynn]

Produce and deli.

[MamaGoofy]

Produce first!!!

[marcy]

Produce, then deli. The store in Austin was opposite.

[Mary DK]

Another vote for produce first :nod:

[Cami]

My store has produce first. Dairy is somewhere in the middle, which always seems out of place to me. They put liquor as the last stop before checkout. :)

[Nadine]

What's produce?

[Nadine]

I first go to the comsetics/diaper/baby essentials etc section. then the fruit and veggies, then the dairy, then the meat then the rest (pasta, ....)

[Mary DK]

What's produce?
veggies... fruit.

[schwanda]

I start at the beginning of the store which is produce.

AManda

[Bridget]

I do produce first as well, but it's dumb that I don't do it last so it stays on top. I guess it really makes no difference since the stores I use have carts on both sides... I just always do the produce first. :lol:

[Missy&Maggie]

produce first. Our store has frozen foods in the middle, which makes no sense to me since then they have half the store to defrost in your cart, so I always skip that section and come back.

[Karri]

produce first.

[gulp!]

depends on where I park. There are 2 entrances to the store, so it's either produce first or meat first. Generally I park at the far end of the lot, which means I do meat first and produce last.

[Nichole]

Produce first here, too. :nod:

[Stacey]

In the closest grocery store, I do the deli first, which is right before the produce.

In the HEBs we go to, they're set up differently. Generally, I do the side of the store that I walk in on and work my way through to the other side. I always do frozen stuff and the milk/eggs/OJ section last.

[Brookamy]

Beginning in the produce

[Darcy]

The way we go into the store, it's the drinks and then the frozen foods. We hit the produce last. Guess we're the oddballs. :lol:

[magoo]

Deli, then produce at one store.

At the other store, it's produce, then bread.

[MrsPeacefrog]

I normally do what ever is at the entrance, the store I frequent is produce and deli, following by the regular grocery aisles then the freezer section at the back so that by the time I get my frozen stuff then it's straight to the check outs.

I agree though that if I go to a different store and it's set up differently I have a slight freak out and feel like something is just wrong :lol:

[Melissa]

Health and beauty is first in our market, followed by deli and produce.

[Trynitey]

It depends on if I'm going in there to get a few items or if I'm going in there to do my full grocery shopping. If I am going to get a few items, I just go down the aisles that I need stuff, if I'm going full grocery shopping, I usually start at the produce since that is where the entrances of most of the grocery stores are.

[Bonnie]

Usually produce, sometimes I do it the reverse way and start w/ the deli/ bakery side.

[Girlo]

I try to do the same route most of the time. Of course, it depends on what I need.....I don't always need to hit every aisle. :)

- produce
- organic/natural foods
- deli
- bakery
- meat
- dairy/eggs
- condiments/paper products
- health/beauty
- cereal/canned veggies
- soup/pasta
- baking
- juice/coffee
- chips/crackers
- frozen food (always last)

:heee:

[Colleen]

When you walk into Wegmans, you walk right into produce, so I always start there. :)

[AliMarie12]

Fresh fruit and deli, that is the first section on my grocery store.

[Jillian]

It depends on the store....meijer usually the produce section, but if I'm at the other one it's the deli section...just cause those are closest to the front door... I guess that's how it usually works for me, whatever section/aisle is closest to the door is where I start.
