I now live in Virgina but I come home to Chicago, I MUST get some popcorn! I don't mind the line, I have been eating this stuff since I was 10 years old. I bring some back with me to VA and always have to hide a little stash for myself because my co-workers go crazy over it, not to mention my husband and son who eat theirs and come looking for more. The greasy bag is part of the ambiance of the place!

This is a fantastic produce market! They've got lots of fresh items and everything is super cheap. You can get a whole cart-full of things for $20 - $30. They've got free parking which is great. Aside from produce they also have fun items like dried fruit and chips and things. Their fruit is always awesome too!

I love asking the staff questions here--they always have the answer, ranging from quick and precise, to lengthy and detailed, but still precise! I often look for specific wines I've tasted or read about and, if not available, they help me find the closest approximation.
I also like the Belgian beer selection, which keeps getting better, everytime I go in.

I like Whole Foods for the great selection it has. But it really isn't my sort of a place for my everyday groceries because it is so expensive. They carry lots of organic items here and they can run you almost double what you might pay at another grocery store. But everything here is really fresh and top quality. Some of my favorite things here are the cakes and pies they have here, they are so delicious.

I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's. They have such a variety of American, ethnic, and other foods, and their prices are pretty good. I've always stocked up on their freezer items, which are always very easy to make (I don't think anything really requires more than about 20 minutes in the oven). Try the gnocchi in the freezer section (heat it in a pan for seven minutes - it even includes the sauce!), and the pizzas are also great and unusual (like pesto pizza). Also, the cold section is good, where they have BBQ shredded chicken (yum!) and ready-to-go salads and wraps. They also have $3 wine - that's right, $3 wine. It's pretty good too! They also are always giving away samples, so use that as a chance to try a new item.

A great, small grocery store that offers everything the big chains do (maybe not quite the selection, but everything you need is there). But - unlike most of these small stores - this one isn't more expensive than the big stores so you can actually afford to do all your grocery shopping here.
Also has fresh herbs, fruit, etc. and a full deli.
Super-fast check-out people get you out of there fast.

The Jewel down the street from this Treasure Island is so jam packed that sometimes I just go here to get away from the crowds. I do like this store and love the gourmet, ethnic, and fresh items they stock. Their bakery especially is really nice and they stock a lot of really fresh baked goods here. I always find their prices to be very similar to Jewel and sometimes even a lot cheaper. Some of the specials they run here are really great and a lot better than even Jewel.
