Aldi - my preferred store Walmart or Target - when I'm there for other stuff Kroger or Publix - they are both about .25 miles from my house in different directions. So I may run into either for something I need quickly during the month. Sam's Club or Costco - I'll usually get gas at one or the other and run in for 1 or 2 things.
I like Trader joe's, but only go a couple times a year since it's further (probably 25 minutes)

mostly just 1. I use WM pick up.
On a rare occasion I stop out sprouts for in season fruit and fancy cheeses.

2. First I look at what’s on sale at Albertsons - especially meat and produce. I make my menu around that. Then make my Walmart list for everything else. There’s a brand new winco 2 hours away. If I’m going that direction I always stop there and stock up. Coconut milk for $1?! Coffee (good too!) for $3-4?! Can not beat those prices.

DH does our groceries - he will go to the three local places - Zehrs, Frescho & Walmart.
I also get a veggie box every week from a local business who lists what is in the box for the week on Monday, and it's $20 for a box full to pick up Thursdays.

Sainsbury's for the big shop and I'll pop into Waitrose after work if I need anything else and see what's being reduced. I'll pop into Lidl for fruit and veg if I happen to be in town. We have an amazing indy baker here so I'll try and buy from them when I can, although they're dangerous! So many good cakes. I wish we had a Trader Joe's in the UK, I love the sound of that shop!

Too many...
Regularly in order: Coborns--locally owned supermarket (mid priced and bag your groceries) Byerly's---Upscale smaller regional grocery and my favorite but more expensive (bag and take out groceries) Wal-Mart--Least favorite but near me and if I want to go cheaper or get other stuff, I head there. ETA: Meat markets--- We probably go to local meat markets about once or twice a month. I do buy at grocery stores, but mostly I buy meat at Byerly's or meat markets.
From time to time:(average once a month) Trader Joes---would go more often but closest is 45 minutes away. I still get there about once a month or so. Fresh Thyme--I go there from time to time and like it, but I sometimes forget about it. Target---We don't have a full superstore, so our groceries are not as extensive as WM, but I prefer to WM. Farmer's Market---in the summer/fall I get there at least a couple times a month Costco--for larger purchases....new to it (used to do Sams) so I haven't been there a lot yet. About once a month. Kwik Trip--regional gas station with some decent last minute dinner options in a pinch.
Other places I shop: (average once or more a year) Aldis---should stop in there more often, but it sorta stresses me out. I go about once or twice a year. Whole Foods---I stop in there sometimes when I go to TJs. About three or four times a year. Good Earth Co-Op---our local co-op. I go in waves here. When I eat better, it moves up to regular when there isn't a farmer's market due (Mid-Oct to May). Right now, I go about every three months, but it will probably be more regular as I am changing my lifestyle, again. Cashwise-- owned by coborns...bigger "cheaper" version that doesn't bag. Dislike it but end up there for something once in a while. Hy-Vee--not local, but when we travel to family in a different part of the state, we end up there for holiday groceries since we often do potluck style.
Yeah, I get around.

I work for a grocery store, so that is where I shop. Doesn’t make sense ( to me) to support other grocery chains! I do on occasion pick up cleaning supplies at wal mart but I rarely go there.

I have a couple friends that work at stores. One is Safeway and the other Fred Meyers. I am always running into them at winco, and Walmart. They can’t afford to shop in their stores.

One for the most part, since I work in one, haha! Occasionally I’ll get something at Trader Joe’s maybe two or three times a year when I’m in the area (TJ is like 40 min away )

Weekly I shop at 2: first Aldi to get everything I can off my list, then to a grocery store popular in my state to get the stuff we don't like at Aldi and the stuff I can't find at Aldi.
We're getting a Meijer in the spring of 2021. I can't wait to try it out... hear great things about it!

I'm surrounded by so many Asian markets it all depends on what type of food and mood I'm in that week. Middle Eastern market for cheaper produce, olive oil, honey, pine nuts, hummus, bread, lamb, tea, and seasoning half the price of Whole Foods. Northgate Market for Mexican food. Danish market has an aisle of black licorice and other goodies I like. I wish I had a closer Japanese market. Otherwise I shop at Aldi's, Sprouts or Food 4 Less/Kroger stores and 'for fun' shopping at Trader Joe's.

3 supermarkets, a health food store, and Costco. Trader Joe's the last three months if the year. Costco for bulk goods, rotisserie chicken, cheeses and frozen appetizers for parties.

I would say 4. I mainly shop Meijer because they are a supermarket and carry everything, but sometimes I don't want to deal with a big store and the smaller grocery stores here have specialty items.

ShopRite for the bulk of my shopping, Trader Joe's usually once every other week and King Kullen which is right around the corner from my house, but most expensive, so only when I need things for dinner that night.
I rarely go to Target anymore. I get all of my toilet paper, paper towels and detergent from Amazon.

Sams, Kroger, Aldi—pretty much at least once a week at each of these.
Occasional trip to Costco, maybe 4 times a year (1.5 hours away)
On very rare occasions, Giant Eagle.

Trader Joe’s preferred store, just feel everything is cheaper, they have fun seasonal products and I like the look of uniform spice containers from one place, don’t mind going out of way to travel there lol
Whole Foods for hard to find products and will check out the sale flyer and get whatever I featured as it’ll be a great deal
Giant/Safeway for low cal ice cream

Kroger, because it is closest to my house (go there the most) Publix, because it is on the route home from work (mostly to pick up 1 or 2 needed items) Walmart if i also need non grocery things too, because they are cheaper.

Market Basket monthly for my "big" shop. BJ's for meat/dog food. If the planets align and I can make it to Costco, I'll go there instead of BJ's. And Roche Bros. for incidentals and DS's muffins.

TJ's, Sprouts, Bel Air (because I work there) Target and WinCo, so 5. Tj's, Sprouts and Target are all one parking lot away from each other.

2. I get a delivery from Ocado about twice a month and then I get any extras from Tesco which is across the road.
