Here we have a couple No Frills, Hy-Vee's, Aldi, Fareway, Wal-Mart, and Super Saver. Not to far away in Omaha there's a Bakers.

I do most of my shopping at No Frills and some things I get at Hy-Vee. I get paper goods, household items and heavy things like pop and bottled water at Wal-Mart.

I like Hy-Vee, the reason I do most of my shopping at No Frills is because Hy-Vee is more expensive for most things. But I prefer getting produce at Hy-Vee and it seems like a cleaner store. And frankly, if I lived on the other end of town I'd go with the closest grocery stores, so I'm not attached to any one store.

Looks like we have more variety of stores here so there's more competition.

Honestly.. I go to both Fareway and HyVee.. Peacetrain Jun 2014 #1

I looked on their "new store list" and the QCA is not listed. Sorry rurallib Jun 2014 #20
Like HyVee, but sometimes the prices aren't the best. progressoid Jun 2014 #13
Do you feel like it's worth dealing with the Fuel Saver cards Cairycat Jun 2014 #16
Sometimes it works, sometimes it's just a gimmick. progressoid Jun 2014 #17
I would probably shop at HyVee more if their prices weren't so high Cairycat Jun 2014 #15
