HHHaha Albertson's, who had all the commercials that said, come shop with us, you don't need a club card like Safeway.......now they offer club cards

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 01-11-2003, 01:20 AM

lol

I haven't been inside an Albertson's in years.

XRogue · 01-11-2003, 08:21 AM

Heh, I have an Albertson's card, a Randall's/Tom Thumb card and a Kroger card. Obtained specifically for the purpose of getting those nice loss leaders they offer, and I pretty much buy nothing else in their stores, except for a laundry additive Kroger's carries that nobody else has around here. I love thumbing my nose at overpriced stores.

Jode · 01-12-2003, 05:57 PM

Top Foods baby! The only way to go!

Ghryphen · 01-13-2003, 12:33 AM

haha, I never liked Top foods

Been in them about 3 times.

Stang · 01-13-2003, 04:12 PM

That and Top Foods is farther away, Safeway is more convient

.

Do you still bag your own in Top Foods still? I remember going in with my Mom and like to do that

.

XRogue · 01-13-2003, 07:55 PM

Heh, there is a store called Aldi's where you not only bag your own groceries, you bring your own bags/containers or you don't get any. And to get a cart you pay a quarter (refunded when you bring the cart back in.) It's a bummer, but there are no Aldi's here in Texas, cause I understand it is a really inexpensive place to shop. All their stuff is generic, so some may not like to shop there, but I am the generic brand QUEEN.

Stang · 01-13-2003, 10:47 PM

I remember going to stay with my Grandma and we would go into this little grocery store and if I remember right you got a pin, more like a crayon though, and wrote the price on the items. I think back now and was like hey how do you know if someone put the right amount on it

.

Wonder if its still there

.

Jode · 01-14-2003, 09:46 PM

Wow that would be weird Stang.

No you don't bag your own groceries at Tops anymore.

I like them because they are the only store with a scratch bakery.
Every place else pulls their frozen dough out of the freezer and then bakes it! YUCK!!

Xenocidez66 · 01-15-2003, 02:59 AM

Here in Iceland we bag our own groceries but also have to pay for the bag.

Spinning Hat · 01-15-2003, 04:55 AM

I wouldn't have a problem with Bags. I have enough of them to last me 5 or 6 years.

And as far as baggin groceries goes, I've always had to bag them myself.

Jode · 01-15-2003, 01:51 PM

I think you either had to buy the bags or bring your own in Germany too! I forgot about that!
Most of the women carried these huge baskets they would put everything in.
But people mostly just shopped for one meal at a time.

Xenocidez66 · 01-15-2003, 02:49 PM

We do alot of that one meal at a time thing here as well. Sometimes it just works out that way.

Spinning Hat · 01-15-2003, 03:02 PM

It's hard to feed just 3 people. Trying to buy enough to feed them, but not have a lot of leftovers is hard to do. Especially when you get better prices when you buy stuff in bigger packages.. Most of the time, not always....

XRogue · 01-15-2003, 05:26 PM

Heh, I bake my own cookies and bread, I like it better. I also make my own pizza.

I love buying in bulk too.
