I'm coming from florida with 5 people in the car, and we'll be packed to the brim with our clothes and camping supplies. We decided to get all our food, beer, snacks, etc on the way when we're almost to Bonnaroo. So can anyone direct me to a grocery store directly off of I-75 or I-24? Can you tell me the exact exit #? I'm looking for something close to manchester, and something that isn't far from the exit. I'd like to avoid the wal mart outside bonnaroo. I suspect it will be crowded, plus I hear sometimes you get directed staight into roo once you get off the exit, and I don't wanna miss getting our groceries. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: yes, I-75 not I-74. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the attempt at help though
I take it you are coming in from the north, through Nashville. If so, stop at Exit 78A Off I-24 (M'boro/Franklin Exit) It's about 30 miles from Roo so no congestion yet and there is a Kroger's and a liquor store immediately off the Interstate. Also fairly cheap gas.
Exit 78A (towards Franklin) and Krogers is immediately on the left. The liquor store is in the same strip.
Edit: I just notice you are from Orlando. If you're coming up I-75 (not I-74) through Chattanooga, these directions won't work.

why would he be coming from the North from Florida?
Exit 134 in Monteagle, TN (right before you come off the plateau near Manchester), there appears to be a Piggly Wiggly grocery store right off the exit.
Also on the 'roo side of Chattanooga are Walmarts off the Lookout Valley and South Pittsburg exits. SP is exit 152, and Lookout, I don't recall the number but it's not far past after the bend in the river as you exit Chatt. TN taxes are 9.25% if you want to stop in Georgia before Chattanooga, though.
^^ True TN sales taxes are high and they apply to everything including food, clothes, beer,etc. 9.25% is the lowest it gets. In M'boro it is 9.75%, the state max, as the county added another 0.5%.
So you may be able to save almost 10% by shopping in another state.
just messing
