Supermarkets near Middleton, WI

“So I show up early on Superbowl Sunday at Metro Market. I try to use a raincheck for some soda and the nice lady watching the self-checkout points out that my raincheck is from Hy-Vee not Metro Market. Oops! It's OK because the soda is on sale anyway provided that I enter the phone number linked to the Pick 'n Save Advantage Card I got from Chairman Bob far before the turn of the millennium. :) Also, I get these nice Kroger coupons in the mail once and a while. This one coupon says free Energizer batteries 2 pack or 4 pack. It doesn't say which type of battery so of course I choose the most expensive batteries. These four AAA batteries would have been $16.49! The nice lady is amazed and showing due diligence, even holds the coupon up to the light to make sure it is legit. We're talking big bucks here. After no hassle I got them free. I also had a free mayo coupon, so my total savings was $24.82 on a $7.00 receipt. How can four AAA batteries cost $16.49 anyway? My new goal in life is to outlive the 20-year shelf life of these batteries. ? Love you Kroger.”

“This ALDI seems larger than the other ones in the area. I think the aisles are wider. Same stock, different arrangement within the store. Can't wait until they get the self checkout like the Madison store on Watts Rd.”

“As far as Aldi stores go, it is clean, has easy parking, convenient location, is well stocked and has everything you would expect at Aldi. However, Aldi is not for you if you are looking for name, brands, lots of customer service, including packing your groceries for you, plus you’ll pay for bags. Five stars is based on comparison to all Aldi stores and not to all grocery stores in general.”

“I have had a lot great experiences and good customer service at this grocery store. This store has a large selection and variety of items. I like how this store has a lot of grab-and-go items. This grocery store lacks a meat counter.”

“So happy to have this store open! I have been to the Sun Prairie location, and this (in the empty spot of the old Whole Foods) is a great addition to the central part of Madison.While it does headline 'International Foods' there are also many domestic brands, and produce. I think it might also have the best Gluten Free selection of food in town I have seen as well. The staff at checkout mentioned that hot foods like gyros will be coming soon too.”

“I ordered a sheet cake from Metcalfe's for my mom's 90th birthday celebration and it was fantastic. The cake was moist and the frosting to cake ratio was spot on, not too much or too little. The decorating was beautiful. Definitely will order all my cakes from Metcalfe's in the future.”

“Generally I go to Woodmans for grocery. This time decided to give Hyvee a chance. Meat, poultry and fish is a lot superior here. There is a butcher onsite. I got some salmon which someone skinned for me. It was fresher as well. They also have a lot of stuff baked in store. The banana bread was really good. I tried the pecan bourbon tart and banana creme tart. Pecan bourbon tart was better. They also have some food counters in the store. I tried the chinese one. General tso's chicken, fire cracker chicken, crab rangoon and chicken spring roll all was decent. And the price was reasonable. Overall this store is a lot smaller than Woodmans. Also number of products was a lot lower. Prices were slightly higher.”

“August 22nd, 2023, at 7 pm, I was again super shopping with a two page list for a friend of mine who was out of almost everything. It took me almost 3 hours, and I had two full carts, No idea how in the world I would be able to check out by closing time. Theresa K. and another coworker volunteered to help with the checkout and bagging. These employees have consistently gone above and beyond their job expectations and demonstrated superior customer service. I asked Theresa for the other staff's name, and I wrote it down, but I lost the paper. Please give them commendation for their selfless performance. I live on the other side of the city but consider this my hyvee store!”

“I love Festival Foods! It's got almost anything you want for weekly groceries- might want to look elsewhere for ethnic selections, however. The store hours are great because I can stop in almost anytime I want.”

“I had an event and needed good food that was convenient. Hy-Vee is always our go to for catering and they never disappoint. I ordered the slider bar , $13 a person and they count 3 sliders per person so you don't need to order for the exact number of guests. You can choose 3 different meats, two sides and it comes with all the toppings. They do deliver but I opted to pick it up and they were so helpful when I did. If you want good food and convenient this should be your first call. You can also select from many catering options on their website.”

“The deli at Hy- Vee came to our rescue this past Saturday. We placed an order at Whole Foods weeks ago for food for a bridal shower I was hosting. When we went to pick up the order the main entree was missing ( sandwich wraps) all we had were salads and fruit for the main food. Apparently, they sent an e-mail 3 days prior to let me know of the change in the order due to something they weren't able to get in. I didn't see the e-mail, nor did they try to reach me by phone. I asked if there was anyway that they could help me out or recommend something from their hot deli. The answer was " No there's nothing we can do for you" - I then called HyVee and the polite voice on the phone said "let me see what I can do for you, I will call you back in ten minutes. Ten minutes later he said " yes we can help you, we can provide you with sandwiches and wraps, It can be ready in an hour!! Wow!! Hats of to HyVee and the nice assistant manager who went out of his way to help us! My new shopping store as well!”

“Hy-Vee has most of what I regularly need, and the store brand has been comparable to other brands so far. I really like that you can convert Fuel Saver points to small discounts because I drive an electric car. On the other hand, on numerous occasions, I saw one of Hy-Vee's own employees block an EV charger with his Jeep. He literally parked, got out, greeted me, put on his employee uniform, and went inside. He should know better.”
