Shopped @ Kens IGA stores for decades. Decent prices, good variety, great meats. Conveniently close to my neighborhood. Can honestly say I was spending $300. or more per week. Even thru the covid mess the stores were well stocked, prices gradually rose, but were still stable, etc.
Haven't shopped there for many months now...
Over the past yr or so I have seen variety, quality, & prices just fly out the window. The prices have more than doubled, quality of fresh produce & meats are terrible, (tasteless & tough), & shelves are heavily stocked with the store brands or less.
No point in my spending $ on food that gets thrown out..
Anyway.. Stopped into the hwy 80 store yesterday for some hamburger buns & to see if things were getting better.
Well, they had hamburger & hotdog buns.. Fresh from the freezer.... Still frozen. I left. read more
