a caveat to the dominick's dis (no comment as to whether it's well deserved or not) at least as to price. i've found jewel to have comparatively higher prices on many, if not most, non-sale items and on items that both have on sale at the same time. as for quality, i've found both to be about equal.
that said, i happen to be sitting pretty in the northern reaches of uptown, where i have equal access to dominick's and jewel, but more importantly argyle, the stupendous golden pacific market on broadway, and delray farms (hit and miss for produce, but the deals are great if the quality is good).
i'd also highly, highly recommend lincolnwood produce (7175 N Lincoln Ave). lotsa great, cheap produce, but it's a full-service market with tons of different "ethnic" items from all over the world.
I despise, more than words can say, the Dominick's in my hood--Broadway between Wellington and Barry. I think my self esteem goes down a little bit every time I scan my debit card there (after waiting in line for 30 minutes with a basket full of over priced poor quality crap) because I know I shouldn't be supporting such a crap store...but its sooo close and I'm sooo lazy.
I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck with New Leaf on Loyola that has the seasonal produce boxes that you can pick up or have delivered.
