In this week's Patch Readers' Choice poll, we ask you for your favorite grocery store.
Whether you're looking for a bargain, top-notch produce, convenience, gourmet atmosphere or stellar service, we all have different ways we pick our favorite grocery stores.
Now, we want you to tell us, your neighbors, and other Patch readers your favorite.

Tell us which one is your favorite in the poll below. HOWEVER, if there are other grocery stores you believe belong on the list, let us know in the comments section below and we’ll add them right away.
Voting in the poll below is open until 9 a.m. Friday. Ties will be broken by whichever business has the most positive comments in the section below. We will announce the winner at noon Friday.
Note: Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results, comments below and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.

You did not list ALDI. It is the most economical. They have excellent product. Try it, you will like it!

You also forgot Publix at Hendrix Crossing. Not in the town limits, but a lot of locals go here.

Not only is ALDI my absolute favorite, they have a double your money back guarantee.

I like doing my BIG grocery shopping @ Krogers in Irmo for 2 reasons..... 1) I always save $40 or more using coupons & my Kroger savings card..... 2) I LOVE the savings perk for gas when I use my Kroger card. I paid $2.74 per gallon on gas just for using my card & the fuel points I had on it.....
Well worth the drive for me to go into Irmo to shop there. Wish there was one here in Lexington.

Though it's also not in Lexington, I've also added Kroger per a reader's suggestion.

We moved to Lexington from Ohio recently and were thrilled to find a Kroger's near. I always liked their frozen vegies and produce. The sales save me lots of money. And the lowered gas price is great. I hear theere was one in Lexington once. With all the groceries now, they probably wouldn't consider it again. Too bad. Kroger gets my vote!
