So I have live all over my giant state and I tend to go to the store everyday to buy lunch and dinner for that day. In my area I don't have any of the big grocery stores, like walmart, Albertsons, Kroger or Tom thumbs.
But what I've noticed in the "hood" is groceries are a lot more expensive and don't last as long (especially produce and meat).
I've lived in extremely rich and extremely poor communities. I have to say in the rich communities groceries are cheaper and fresher. Why is this?
I can understand theft can off set grocery cost, but what's the deal with groceries not being fresh?
Well anyways back on the subject.
In my local commute I have several Mexican meat markets, they are the best for fresh cut meat, and the smaller markets have the best deals, like 1.99 per pound of ground beef and like .69 a lb for chicken leg quarters.
But for the best deals I have to drive to a neighborhood walmart.
But recently I retried Aldi's.. When they first opened, I was like "fuck this nasty horse meat shit". But limited to where I can find great food at a low cost Aldi's is looking pretty promising at the moment. And the girls get to sit down at the cash registers! And they start off at like $12 a hour compared to Wal-Mart's $7.75.
Yesterday I went to three markets to find squash, nobody had it but Aldi's. I guess it's out of season. It was wrapped like meat which is a little odd. But what the hell, right , squash is squash.
But my favorite is Albertsons they hire older lady's to run the registers. They remind me of my grandmother, it's like I haven't seen this lady in three months but she remembers me. For that alone, I would prefer to shop there if it was feasible.
I noticed when I went to California they had a lot of Kmart's and sold Liquor in them!?! My state did away with Kmart's when I was a child, at least for the most part.
Sorry about this stupid ass thread, but over the years I am becoming more conscious of what I eat. Kinda
Just wanted to share
