As you get into the more rural areas, you may only have a choice of one maybe two larger chain supermarkets in addition to the small local markets. In Moab, I believe City Market is the only major chain with a store. In Vernal, UT; it is Smith's or Walmart. In Great Bend, KS; it is Dillion's or Walmart. In Angel Fire, NM; Lowe's is the game in town as far as larger chains. Even if you drive the 30 miles over the mountain to Taos the choices are Walmart, Smith's or Albertson's. In many smaller Southern towns, Piggly Wiggly is it. The rural areas of the Mid-Atlantic coastal region is Food Lion country. There are many rural areas where a not so nearby Walmart is about the only large supermarket.
We have had mixed results with smaller local grocery stores/markets. Some are excellent. Some leave a lot to be desired in quality and cleanliness. We do like the local farmer's markets, but even there we are picky about what we buy as the quality can be highly variable as well as the price.
With there only being two of us and limited space in the RV freezer, we don't go to Costco or Sam's club for much.
