Well, the parking lot was full and the store was really crowded, but the lot was big and the isle were wide enough to navigate easily.
The shopping carts are big which is good, however the back portion of the cart has vertical lines only which caused some of my smaller items not to make it to check out and even worse not home with me, which was a bit irritating.
I did find that they had a few good sale prices-much like many other grocers in the area-however some of the prices were a bit outragous, Dr. Pepper 24 pk was nearly $10 before tax, needless to say I didn't buy any! The produce section was good, they did have some organic products, but the prices were a lot higher than other stores that carry organic items as well.
The meat section was large, but I didn't really find the meat, though raw, to look as good as other store selctions and even with the lower prices I was skeptical to buy any. I ended up purchasing Tyson chicken from the frozen section.
I also found that a few items, maybe one or two, did not ring up for the price that was advertised. However, it was hard for me to keep track of the items that I was purchasing and sacking my own groceries, which was the biggest turn off for me. I place all my items on the belt in groups of refridgerated items, bread etc, however when it got down for me to sack them she kept some items up in Lane A while she pushed some of my items to Lane B? It was frustrating to say the least and as I was trying to sack my items she kept telling my what my total was. I left sacking my groceries twice to try and pay and she said, "Oh you can wait," as she was checking someone else out. I thought, 'Really. what was the point of repeatedly telling me what my total was?' If I wanted to sack my own items I would utilized the self check out area of the store.
Even though this store has its pros and cons, I will probably not be shopping here in the future, as I feel that I can get everything at one grocer for the same prices if not better AND I won't have to sack my own groceries. (Not that I am lazy, but it was such a hassle to deal with checking two people out at once among other things while in the check out lane(s)). read more
