Last week, Bee readers voted for the best grocery chain (or chain with the best deals) in the Sacramento area.
One thing was made clear: Sacramentans are passionate about their go-to food market.
And after nearly 2,000 responses and 16 grocery chains to choose from, the results are in.
Here are your top picks:
RALEY’S
Raley is ranked No. 1 and accounts for almost half of all votes. Its members get personalized offers, savings and access to online shopping for same-day in-store pickup and home delivery at select stores, according to its website.
He obtained 810 votes, or 45%.
NUGGET MARKETS
Ranked #2, but receiving about half of Raley’s votes, Nugget Markets offers weekly promotions on meats, produce, dairy, frozen, and staples. Simply filter your location to review your store’s deals for the week.
He obtained 409 votes, or 23%.
TRADER JOE
Coming in at No. 3 and receiving less than half the votes from Nugget Markets, Trader Joe’s does not offer a rewards program, according to its website. But this chain of grocery stores offers daily prices for products that are submitted to a taste panel before being put on the shelves.
He obtained 123 votes or 7%.
BEAUTIFUL AIR
Operating under the same flagship brand as Raley’s, Bel Air received significantly fewer votes than Raley’s but tied with Trader Joe’s. Bel Air shares the same savings program as Raley’s: personalized offers, food and gas savings and online shopping benefits.
He obtained 123 votes or 7%.
WINCO FOODS
Ranked #4 with less than 10% of votes, WinCo Foods offers digital coupons, discounted items and weekly promotions.
He obtained 74 votes or 4%.
COSTCO
Making the list the only wholesale warehouse chain, Costco ranked #5 and received less than 100 votes. At Costco, shop warehouse prices for brand name food and household products.
He obtained 57 votes or 3%.
SECURITY
