Consumer Reports' List Of The Best Grocery Stores

In a comprehensive survey of its 75,000 members, Consumer Reports recently published a list of the best grocery stores, both regional and national. As if you needed another reason to worship the grocery chain, Trader Joe’s was named one of the top 13 grocery stores in the country in terms of prices and private label products, beating out other big-name chains like Whole Foods and Target.

Though Publix was noted for its cleanliness, it didn’t make the top 13 in pricing. As TODAY notes, other major retailers like Acme and Walmart landed at the bottom of the list. This calls for a glass of your finest $3.99 Charles Shaw rosé and an entire sleeve of Joe-Joes.

Here’s the full list, in alphabetical order, of Consumer Reports' top 13 grocery chains, in case you suddenly need to make a multi-location grocery run:
Aldi
Costco
Crest
Fareway Stores
Grocery Outlet
Lidl
Marc’s
Market Basket
Military commissaries (open to those with authorized Department of Defense IDs)
Save-A-Lot
Trader Joe’s
WinCo
Woodman’s
