I'm in the Lafayette, IN, area. I shop at Marsh pretty regularly, although I do the bulk of my shopping at Payless (Kroger) and Meijer. I used to go to Marsh all the time for produce, but it's cheaper at Meijer ad Payless's produce has gotten to be much better quality, as good as Marsh's now. I go to Marsh pretty often for my WIC items because their store brand apple juice is the only juice w/out any corn derivatives that I can get with WIC. My daughter is allergic to corn. Makes it hard to shop, especially on a budget. There are corn derivatives in pretty much everything. I buy separate food for the rest of the family b/c it would be too expensive for all of us to eat corn free. I have 4 kids and my husband is a grad student at Purdue, so money is tight. I like Marsh store brand stuff, it's usually good quality, often better than the name brand as far as hydrogenated oils and corn syrup goes, and it's almost always kosher, so I can take it for snack to my kids' Sunday school.
I also get most of our prescriptions at Marsh b/c their pharmacy is locally owned and run. I try to support local businesses when I can. The pharmacist is really nice and helpful, too, and remembers me and my kids when we're there.
Our Marsh doubles coupons up to 50 cents and occasionally does triple coupons. I'm new to couponing, so I don't know how often they do that, I just remember seeing signs. I never understood how couponing worked, and I'm amazed at how much money you can save when you do it right. I would have done this years ago if I had known!
