I can't speak for anyone else, but when I moved to DC, the regular supermarket options were all terrible (very small, don't carry lots of things I used to be able to get from suburban supermarket's, no parking, awful produce, etc.) I found Trader Joe's to be a slightly less egregious Whole Foods, so I did most of my shopping there. What finally wore me out was the fact that I couldn't do "all" of my grocery shopping there (I have no interest in buying hippy toilet paper or hippy soap), so I still had to shop at a "regular" grocery store. Now, Amazon subscription takes care of most of our household stuff (like paper towels and dishwashing detergent and such), and we get produce delivered weekly by some local green grocer (which I let my girlfriend talk me in to, as left to my own devices I don't really eat produce).
