Retail Watchers

Harris-Teeter does much the same, buy 2 get 3 free. But many times even 60% off is still not a great price.

You really need to know the average everyday prices to know when a sale is really a bargain or not...

[snip]Customers who showed up at Boston Market on Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga to pick up their prepaid meals on a blustery Thanksgiving morning were in for a shock. The doors to the restaurant were closed. A sign outside read: “No employees showing up today… we are unable to fulfill the ...

It will be interesting to see how this affects sales...

[snip]Latest pricing trick at Safeway: Only putting certain "varieties" on sale on items. Yes, the ads have always said selected varieties, but typically all of the items are on sale in a given product family. We have this out on the east coast as well. One time they had Suave shampoo on ...

Never ate there so I know nothing of the quality.

Agreed. Witness every winter in northern VA when the four letter word beginning with "s" and ending with "w" gets mentioned. Stores get mobbed and the following disappears (not necessarily in this order): 1) Bread 2) Eggs 3) Bottled Water 4) Toilet Paper 5) Ice Melt/Salt/Kitty Li...

Has anyone else in the northern VA area noticing that shelves are once again becoming empty? And both my brother and I have noticed that Aldi has been raising prices. This has been predicted (there are a lot of articles about shipping delays and lack of drivers) but how bad is it going to get before...

I was saddened to hear this. I help build the McDonald's in the parking lot back when I was a geotech and used to shop there from time to time. My though is that Safeway is facing massive competition from not only Giant but Aldi and Lidl and is feeling the pressure. The store here in Leesburg seems ...

I have to agree with this...
