| - I love Woodman's Here are the reasons why:
1. They have an excellent and reasonably priced gluten-free foods section
2. They sell the widest variety of foods of any store in town. For example, they're the only place I can find sugar-free ketchup. They also carry an extensive selection of ethnic foods, salsa, canned items, and cereal. If you're trying to find something weird, like pumpkin-flavored yogurt, Woodman's is your best bet.
3. Woodman's is the cheapest grocery store by far. You can even get great deals on meat if you go very early in the morning. I've found high quality ground chuck for $1.99/pound. There's literally no fat in it. No need to drain. I like that they stock "Manager's Special" in the meat department on a daily basis.
4. Speaking of "wide selection" and "cheap"...have you seen their liquor store? Not only can you find literally anything you'd want to drink, they have some of the lowest prices on booze.
5. I like that it's open 24 hours. I can go super early in the morning and avoid crowds.
Here's what I don't like about Woodman's:
1. It's in a bit of a rough neighborhood (for Madison, at least), and I have definitely felt sketched out when going shopping late at night.
2. The produce section basically sucks. Lots of the items are just poor quality. If you do buy any produce at Woodman's check it carefully to make sure it's not rotten.
3. The flow of the store is pretty terrible when it's busy. I avoid peak shopping times like a the plague, but sometimes you gotta get something on a weekend afternoon..beware, it gets extremely congested
4. There is always, ALWAYS, a wait at the cash registers. I've never gone to Woodman's and not waited in line at least 15 minutes.
"Service and savings, at Woodman's!"
