East tenn here. Sunday my wife stopped in and got their split-chicken breasts for about $4.50 each. Not to bad.

I totally missed this one too!!!

Im in SE Ky.

My only grocery options are IGA, FC, Save-A-Lot and WMart.

My DH is the assistant meat manager/butcher. You'd think we would get a discount of some sort. Nope!

East TN here too!

I shop in FC every now and then if I see a good buy in the sales paper.

East TN! Does anyone know when the new Food City in Tellico Village opens? Ti is in Loudon but right on the edge of Monroe County. The store is beautiful-all brick, very upscale. A lot of residents in Tellico Village really fought to keep it from being built but there is nothing out that way in the form of shopping!
We buy their chicken when it is on sale "in-store" for card holders. Awesome bargain. They also carry a lot of items Wal*Mart has dropped. Wal*Mart has raised their prices so much we do more of our shopping at Food City!

Rogersville here, found out tonight that FC sells all deli meat left in cooler for .99 lb every night between 7:00/7:30.

I live in East Tennessee too. We just moved here two years ago and it was either Food City or Food Lion for us. Food Lion is way too expensive and Food City has some great deals especially on their brand or Valu Time brand products. We get all our meat and produce at Food City and then everything else we only get there if it is cheaper than Wal-Mart but since Food City is so strict with coupons, we usually find better deals at Wal-Mart.

East Tennessee here too. And I was always a Food City shopper, but stopped going there since I started couponing, because they give me such a hard time with the coupons I get offline, it wasn't worth the arrgument with the cashiers and managers there. I rather got to Kroggers, better prices and happier cashiers.

I'm in East Tennessee also. I really like Food City, but I don't go there nearly as much since they don't double coupons like Kroger. Kroger seems to have more sale items also (or at least more sale items I want!) :-)

On the other hand, Kroger is about 20 minutes away and Food City is only 5 minutes away, so I often go there for fresh produce and meat. They also have Laura's Lean ground beef for onl $3.99 / lb whereas it is $5.49 at Kroger. It rarely goes on sale and I even more rarely have a coupon for it.

I shop Lenoir City and Loudon, TN Food City! I was starting to think this forum was deader than the Ingles forum!

I shop the West Knoxville Food City. I've been searching for a blog to find FC deals and can't find anything. I'm hoping this site helps. I get some pretty good deals with the fuel buck items, but most of my coupon-ing is done at Kroger. I also buy alot of organic items and the Full Circle brand is a Food City brand and is included in the fuel buck deal. It helps to have a FC gas station 5 miles from my house, I think they are few and far between.
