You plug a quarter into your shopping basket to unchain it and start shopping. As I said, the prices are ridiculously low and pretty generic but there are some hidden gems. The strawberries (.99) were picked over and not too tempting though I'm sure they were looking better earlier in the day. I found some Maple Syrup/Pecan Instant Oatmeal for $1.74 and some health bars for $1.39, The frozen section had some nice products like choice steaks and burgers..the dessert section was meh. I liked it that the cashiers all sit and scan, placing it into a shopping cart. No bagging and no carpal!

My sister told me Food World was one of the only stores open besides Walmart on the holiday and I opted for Food World which was closer. As my cousin and I walked in we noticed only a handful of shoppers inside and a covey (bevy) of cashiers/baggers standing at the registers, waiting for someone to check out. Once we got our ice (20 lbs. for $2.79) we checked out and I asked our bagger if they closed early. "If four o'clock is early", she said glumly. "Do you get time and a half?" I asked. Her head shook sadly in response. Does Food World make any money staying open on this holiday? Why don;t they pay holiday pay to these young employees? I feel like taking away a star! Shame!

I hope the post I seen goes so viral that it attracts the attention of the local media and then some, I've had bad experience with the cashiers my self who act as if the job they have makes them better than the customers they serve and I got news for those self absorbed jerks what goes around comes around.

This merge was established to combine an exceptional meat market with a phenomenal grocery store and create a superior shopping experience that better serves Decatur and surrounding communities. Today, Holaway's Foodland operates on the same principles that were established in 1957 by Larry Holaway, who made the meat department legendary in the area. Our focus remains on providing the community with superior quality meat, the freshest produce available and a wide range of grocery items at the lowest possible price.

Our eyes popped, mouths fell agape, and rumors of fainting abounded. The overall shopper's experience here is the best in Decatur. Among the Pan Dulces (Conchas, Ojo de Buyes, and such), we espied something similar enough to Chocolate-covered Doughnuts to make us kill for it. But we had a bag of goodies we'd already purchased and somehow staved ourselves off. Formerly at 6th Avenue, LEF&FM is a must visit. Oddly, four of the other Supermercados are within walking distance and thus in direct competition, a move seemingly both unwarranted and unwise, unless a concentrated Hispanic population in the immediate area ensures their collective viability. I can't say. The first items you'll notice as you walk in are the greens and such in the well-stocked and eye-catching produce area, and the atmosphere was well ratcheted up in our estimation due to the fact that the employees were all friendly. LEF&FM had a wonderful dairy department, stocked with Queso this, Quesillo that, Quesadillo these, and Crema those. Some cheeses had Jalapeno, others, Loroco, which is evidently a flower bud of Central American origin. The popular Cotija Molido, which is merely grated Cotija, was also evident. It's one of the crumbly cheese you'll see in Mexican food...in fact, I believe it's one of the ones of which you might say, "Why doesn't it melt?" In addition to the bakery and dairy areas, the display of "soda pops" (to import a term) and such was better than average. Yes, they have Jarritos, but also have Foco, Boing!, Tiky, and several others, some of which are actually Asian in origin, rather than Mexican or South American. We are already talking about returning here...and that's a thirty-plus-minute trip. And we won't come back empty handed. Possibly in a sugary haze, but not empty handed.

This is a cute little coffee shop / gift shop type of place in downtown Decatur. Being that it's downtown, parking is a little bit of a hassle. I didn't have a hard time finding a spot midday on a Wednesday, but be careful backing out as you're backing right into the street. Inside, the shop is spacious and decorated nicely. It felt airy and peaceful and I could easily see myself catching up with a friend or reading or something. They have a midsize coffee menu, serve Piper and Leaf tea, and have some typical coffeeshop snacks (pastries, etc). One nice feature is a fridge with take and bake type meals and appetizers. That can prove really useful in a pinch! Service was extra nice here: welcoming smiles, patient with questions, and working efficiently. I appreciated that you can actually order a small iced coffee here. Many places only do iced in medium or large portion sizes. The small was just enough to perk me up for the ride home, but not so much I'd have to stop for a restroom, lol. I ordered an iced peppermint mocha as that's pretty much my favorite coffee drink of all time. This one was a good one! Not too strong on the peppermint and a discernible - maybe even stronger than average - chocolatey taste. Like a liquid thin mint! :) I enjoyed my drink on my drive home and look forward to returning for more next time I find myself in the area.
