Farmers Market
Admit it, you're a wanna-be-hippie. You love adorning your flower crown and stocking up on local produce. Gathering pesticide-free fruits & veggies is your obsession, and you never fail to post that ish all over the place. Lucky for you, Athens has several farmers markets to choose from. Check out the Athens Farmers Market at Creature Comforts on Wednesdays or Bishop Park on Saturdays. Pro tip: There's a nifty produce stand on Tuesdays at the corner of W. Broad and Minor St.

Earth Fare (Five Points)
You're health conscious and willing to pay a pretty penny for the food you crave. Because you're not afraid to experiment with new flavors, having a wide variety of ingredients at your grocery store of choice is essential. If Earth Fare doesn't float your boat, maybe take a field trip to Trader Joe's or The Fresh Market. If none of those make your tummy rumble, then you took this quiz wrong. Pro tip: Try Earth Fare's hot bar if you've had a long day and cooking sounds like a death threat.

Kroger (Epps Bridge Parkway)
Congrats, you're average! You're budget conscious and willing to cut some coupons to save a few bucks here and there. Cooking doesn't freak you out, but you also want some quick & easy options. The only thing you're picky about is not having enough choices. Pro tip: There are two more locations for all of your Kroger needs - one on Alps Road and another on College Station Road. Visit ALLLLLLL the Krogers!

Walmart (Lexington Road)
You've officially made the "People of Walmart" list. Embrace it. Sales are a must for your dwindling bank account, and you make sure to capitalize on them every chance you get. Cookies, crackers, and frozen pizzas are some of your shopping cart staples. You're a picky eater but prefer to label your taste as "simple" (*cough* euphemism *cough*). Pro tip: Price matching is a thing at Walmart. Found a better deal? Let the cashier know and save some moolah. (P.S. there's another Walmart on Epps Bridge Parkway but shhhhh don't tell the Lexington location that you're cheating.)

Lay-Z Shopper (East Clayton Street)
You're straight up LAZY. But never fear, there's a grocery store created just for you and your people (if you can ever get off the couch). This is a great stop to grab some quick bites - especially if you're a fan of sub sandwiches. Word on the street is this joint has the best of the best when it comes to subs. Pro tip: A storefront solely devoted to said sandwiches just opened next door. It's called R.U. Hungry, and the answer is always yes.

Your Roommate's Side of the Pantry
Not only do you have zero money, but you also have zero cooking skills. You can barely tell a spatula from a whisk, and the stove took out a restraining order against you. Thankfully, your roommate knows a little more about the world of food preparation. And he/she is ALWAYS stocked up on some goodies. All you have to do is open the pantry and sneak a few snacks. Pro tip: Get a dog and tell your roommate the dog ate the food. #sorrynotsorry
