The stories below describe problems with food quality in the grocery stores that are accessible in the neighborhood or nearby areas. The main problem with these stores seems to be that they lack fresh fruit and vegetables.

I have attempted to purchase "A Hint of Salt" crackers in the neighborhood on three different occassions and was not able to do so. I both times had to travel to Walmart West Nashville to buy the crackers.I also had to request "Stevia" at the Kroger on 8th Avenue because the first few times I went in it was not in stock. Once when I asked a clerk where it was in the store, the clerk asked me what it was.

My story is that more people buy more healthy food so that people can get better and be healthier. This Grocery Story was collected at Bethlehem Centers on October 12, 2010 during the North Nashville Community Forum.
Because I don't own a car, proximity is very important to me when it comes to grocery shopping. But I also care about food being fresh and healthy, about supporting farmers, and local businesses. And so every Saturday morning I hop on my bike and go to the Farmer's Market. There I buy first from local farmers, then from the retail sellers. Anything I can't get there, I look for at the International Market or a nearby Asian Market. If there are still ingredients I can't find, I go in and buy them at Kroger on Rosa Parks. This process takes a long time.I fantasize about a grocery store in North Nashville that carries the products of local farmers - especially TSU agriculture graduates. I imagine the store being a co-op or collective, so when local folks work there we get good pay and benefits. A store with healthy food and value added products from the neighborhood, cooking classes and community events.

Mother of 3 young children - 4, 2, and a 10 month old. We have to take cabs, walk or ride a bus. There are no grocery stores nearby that have fresh fruits and veggies to buy at reasonable prices.

I shop where it's convenient for me and my daughter. The store offers produce daily and meat deals weekly. But the bad thing about it is sometimes you might not have the money for the special that they offer and the item is often overpriced. That's why I believe the "pick 5 for $19.99" is a gimmick. What if you only need 1 pack of meat or 1 pack of macaroni and cheese? They retail it as $4.79 or close to $5. That's not cool. I believe they should give you more selections to choose from so if you did only have $15 or $20 you can at least make a meal.
I go to Publix because the store is just nice and everything is in its place. Walmart has everything for low prices. I go to the back of the store first and make my way to the front. I get milk, biscuits and all the cold stuff last. Then I hit that candy wall.
