Re: Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket
I've been talking about this for quite some time now. The situation is fluid but I have found locally both McDonald's and Burger King have lower prices on their apps versus in restaurant, and also offer massive discount deals not available without the app. Basically these restaurants have decided t...

Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions Cutting Store Hours
Looks like effective last Monday, most Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions will be open 6AM - 10PM. Previously, these stores were open until 11PM and some opened at 5AM. Prior to the pandemic, many were open until 12AM-2AM. It’s only been recently that some locations near Los Angeles saw their hours expanded....

Re: Outback Steakhouse closing underperforming locations
Another sign I’m getting old. I can recall, over 20 years ago, when waits to eat-in would exceed two hours most weekends. Now, the restaurants are pretty much dead. The last time I dined at Outback was nearly a decade ago, when they had the weekday special for a 6oz sirloin, one side and drink (unli...

Re: California Grocery Market down 4-5%??
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. Instagram account with Costco deals showed NorCal stores selling...

Re: Safeway NorCal: 12pk Coke/Pepsi 10.99
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...

Re: New Ralphs/Kroger Interior
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...

Re: Safeway "New Lower Price" "Everyday Low Price" program?
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 ...

Re: Safeway "New Lower Price" "Everyday Low Price" program?
Maybe two years ago, Albertsons/Vons began tagging many items “everyday low price.” Many of these tags remain, although most seem to have been retired. Many items have cheaper everyday prices at Ralphs, so I assume it’s some type of marketing campaign. Albertsons/Vons just competed another round of...

Re: Hollywood Markets Rochester, MI Closing
Good summary but the new build Detroit Kroger lasted just three years. IMO, the significance of the Hollywood Markets closing is that it had minimal updates of the remaining ex-Farmer Jacks.. Most of the remaining ex-Farmer Jacks are in Detroit and the inner ring suburbs. These stores were divested ...
