Poll: Where do you Shop for Groceries?

Mom-and-pop choices are limited in Eagle Rock, but one grocery chain has raised $150,000 for LAUSD schools via its 'Shop for Schools' program.

Eagle Rock is known for its indie boutiques and clothing stores, but when it comes to groceries, shopping at corporate-owned chains appears to be the norm. The good news is that at least some of the neighborhood’s grocery dollars do get plowed back into the community:

For a couple of years now, several Eagle Rock LAUSD schools have participated in the annual ‘Shop for Schools’ program run by the . For every $20 spent at the store, which is located on Eagle Rock Boulevard, participating schools received a $1 donation. LAUSD has reportedly received more than $150,000 through the program, which will continue this coming fall. (On May 1, Fresh & Easy opened its online registration for the fall Shop for Schools fundraising drive.)

All of which begs the question: Where do you shop for groceries—and do you patronize Fresh & Easy at least partly because of its Shop for Schools program?
