Grocery stores in Pittsburgh — recommendations?

Been meaning to ask this. I'm a college student here and Poverty rate is 12.2%, which is around average. The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. It's a a mid-size city city with about 304K people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. Am I wrong here? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want community vibe, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
