[QUOTE="jstaylor62, post: 3307477, member: 6870"] I grew up with a Dad that was in the Wholesale Produce business in Oklahoma, so I have seen a lot of changes over the past 40 years. There used to be a lot small, grocery store chains in Oklahoma, 3-4 stores each. Crest and Reasor's have been about the only ones to survive. Each have their own warehouses now and control costs by buying in bulk and distribute on their own. But I dont just shop at one place ... Crest seems to have the best overall produce selection and quality ... their meat department is pretty good ... depending on the location they have a decent bakery and cheese section Buy4Less and Uptown Grocery are owned by the same company ... Uptown is their more upscale footprint and store layout Its impossible to beat the Mercados for Mexican produce ... Green Onions, Cilantro, Peppers and stuff like that. Also its the place to find Mexican meats; Carne Picada, Chorizo and stuff The Asian Markets like Super Cao Nguyen are an excellent place as well. Its the only place in the OKC area that I have found whole porkbellies WinCo is an employee owned chain that is new to Oklahoma. They beat the hell out of Walmart on a lot of prices. They also have a decent produce section and prices As for milk, you wont find better than Braums And lastly ... WALMART IS NOT A GROCERY STORE! [/QUOTE]
