This year, we got a Winco in our city. I'd never even heard of Winco before, but I LOVE it! I went grocery shopping last week to Winco and Walmart and let me share why I like Winco better than Walmart. I spent approximately the same amount of time in each store. When I left Winco I had 4 reusable shopping bags full of food. When I left Walmart I had 1 reusable shopping bag of food. Hmmm....you'd think that buying 4 times as much food would take longer. Nope. Not when the lines are SOOOOO long at Walmart. The vast majority of my time was spent in line at Walmart. Winco is fast, quick, easy and spacious. Also, I spent $60 at Winco and $40 at Walmart. Go back and compare the amount of food I got from each store and again things just don't add up. Anyway...I've decided Winco wins in my book.
On the flip side (just so I don't sound like a Walmart hater - because I'm not), I have to buy dairy and soda at Walmart because the dairy products at Winco don't taste very good (especially the store brand cottage cheese and regular cheese) and Winco doesn't sell off brand of Diet Dr. Pepper like Walmart does. Walmart is the only store we have found that sells fat free cottage cheese that tastes good.
Anyway....if you have acess to a Winco and aren't going there, you need to try it!
