If that's the case then Winco jumped significantly. They had the limit one on both last week, but it was 2.14 for large and 2.97 for extra large with wacky prices around $7 and $9 respectively for additional quantities over the limit.

At the beginning of the year, Albertsons raised their price in SoCal from 8.49 to 9.49. Ralphs remained at 8.49 through last week. Both stores had a Buy 2, Get 3 free sale this week, so we went to Ralph’s. Turns out Ralph’s up its price to 9.99 right before the sale… Live and learn. We shopped Alber...

If Kroger takes over will Kroger still use the wine tasting rooms at Safeway or the bar? What about the giant glass displays with the hanging dry aged beef? What about the Pavilions style Patisserie? Is Kroger's Bakery program better than Safeway or Pavilions? If the merger is successful, I doubt m...

I remember those tags in SoCal. It didn't seem to be marketed much beyond the shelf tags. No hanging signs or support in the print ads that I could find. Maybe I missed it. Prices at NorCal Safeway are outright crazy. I cannot believe their pricing. I walk the store weekly in complete jaw dropping ...

Good catch, I forgot about that place. But looking at the photos on Google, most of the flooring and signage has been replaced in recent years.

End of an era. While not official, staff at the Rochester Hollywood Markets location have confirmed that the store will be closing soon. Via social media reports, the store manager insists the store is profitable but the shopping center’s owners are significantly increasing the rent. He claims the s...

Here's an article from the LA Times with a full closure listing: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-01-31/cvs-to-close-25-minuteclinics-los-angeles-area Looks like only the Irvine location will survive in Orange County which is ironic considering it never has any business.
