How far do you drive for better quality?

I guess I am pretty lucky, I live in a town where I have a lot of choice. I am pretty picky when it comes to my meat products. I have a couple of Italian places here in Holland that are awsome when it comes to special ingredients. Michigan has a really diverse population of people, spanish, italian, french, Dutch, etc. These people really know there stuff when it comes to good food.

The selection here in town is awful, not to mention way overpriced. I typically drive 35 miles to go to a decent grocery store (walmart), not great.

Nope, the stores around me have good quality food.

Depends, we have quite a few good stores here, but for a special item I could see making a trip. Maybe not a 100 mile trip though!

It depends on what food we're talking about. Usually if it is ordinary meat like beef or chicken, we don't have to drive really far because the grocery store is just about in front of our village. But if it is seafood, we really go miles until we get to the next province.

Pinkperson, I guess you are in Canada? Interesting!

I know where good shops are so i save alot of time travelling. Ask friends and relatives, they should know places.

I live in an area where there is a small market. I have never purchased meat from them. Half of the time their freezers are not working so I think it is safe to say the meat isnt good. I drive about 20 minutes to another town to do all of the grocery shopping. I have more options to choice from.

I would go the distance just to get the proper ingredients for whatever I am craving for. Especially if it's meat because it's usually the main ingredients of most of the dishes we eat at home. So it's really very important and it's a must that we get the proper one.
