[Safeway](http://www.safeway.com/IFL/Grocery/Home). I shopped there when I lived in Philly, DC, and SF. Cheaper than Whole Foods but better selection and quality than discount grocery stores. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > I really wanted to answer _ **Piggly Wiggly** _ for a grocery store. I did too but went with Safeway cause it gets mentioned on tv shows fairly often. I have never set foot in a Safeway personally. We call it “The Pig”, “The Hoggly Woggly” and “The Hawg” around here. 😃 ---

There are Safeways in the DC area, but no Krogers! LOL Having lived in Michigan as a kid, though, I know about Krogers. ---
