Re: Albertsons Now Has Multiple Ads With Different Prices

Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties stores are on the higher priced ad version. It appears Ventura and Los Angeles counties are on the lower based on a limited look. I first noticed the different pricing on meat/produce and ice cream features for the first time on the Memorial Day ad. I assum...

Re: Albertson/Vons/Pavilions Pricing

I guess NorCal ran some price increases. I had to make sure I did not take a trip to Hawaii when I looked at these prices. But no I am in Reno still. Friskies Cat Food- sale price .80, but regular price now 1.29 (was regular price 0.90) 30oz Miracle Whip- sale price 7.49, regular price now 10.79 30...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

I remember Santa Barbara-State St. as a Thrifty going back to at least the mid 1960's.

Re: Albertsons’ Soaring Prices

There is a noticeable decline in customer traffic when I shop my local Vons. I cannot determine how much volume is now from pickup and or Instacart. Recent price increases make me wonder if we are being set up for a "1000's of Reduced Prices" campaign in the very near future. It will be in...

Re: Albertsons’ Soaring Prices

Until recently, I clicked/purchased 15-20 Just 4 You offers weekly. Over the course of the past month, it has dropped to about 5 per week, half of which are ad/electronic coupon items. The personalized J4U offers are ridiculous - Kraft 16 oz. salad dressings at $4.26. Yet they will have the same ite...

I believe the building and center were torn down and the lot is still empty?
I believe that store was from Smith's first failed CA entry and was subsequently sold to Lucky.

Re: Vons closing Lompoc store

There was a Safeway at the southern end (605 N. H St.) of the same center in which the current Vons is closing which opened in 1960 and closed in 1980. The building is now occupied by Michael's. I found a Google image of the center at Christmas 1960, which shows the Safeway to the South and Woolwort...

Re: Vons closing Lompoc store

Ralphs did purchase this location as a part of the consent decree. As I recall, there were some LL issues. Vons ended up with the store after a rebuild and relocated from 1309 N. H St. in April, 2001. It appears the initial lease term is up. The store at 1309 N. H St. was a former Williams Bros. bui...
