Why? Why does it matter where complete strangers from all over the country by their grub? Please, lets dont turn this great info based board into another VQ cesspool of nonsense.

Then why even open the thread- reminds me of the story about the lady who called the cops because her neighbor was dancing around the house naked- the cop gets there goes to the kitchen window and tells the lady he doesn't see anything- she says "stand up in that chair and you can!"

Unfortunately where I live I have two choices, WalMart or Food Lion. They both blow to be honest but we usually go to WalMart. We buy our meat at Spring Street Market though FWIW.

So, you ask WRK to confirm some War Room info, now you trying to convince the board that it's going to become like VQ if it has a few OT posts?? You're trying way too hard here.

Watauga- answer me this- How would you handle this situation?
I go in the grocery and by five whole chickens and when I get home one of the chickens is ruined (not uncommon). I bring the receipt to you and ask for a new chicken. I did not bring the stinking chicken back with me.
Would you give me a new chicken?

We have a 200% guarantee on perishable items. We replace the chicken and you get a refund. No questions asked with a receipt.

I actually shop at Ingles, most of the time. One of my students' families sells milk to ingles, so I like to patronize because of that. Food city too. They sell a good bit of local food. If I didn't live in an apartment i'd just grow my own food.

Which Ingles do you shop at?

Does a 200 percent guarantee mean OV gets two new chickens?

Good to hear- I was told by my local grocery that I needed to go back and get chicken- I asked him "do you really want me to bring a stinking chicken up here for everyone to see" I then just walked out- I should have went and got it and threw it in the back of his truck!

I would only take one fresh chicken and don't want money back.

Fair enough. Too bad watauga doesn't sell cars, eh?

What's your position on wine in grocery stores that just passed sub-committee in the state legislature?

K-Roger for sure! They have comparable prices and their "Kroger brand" is the best when comparing to other stores' "off-brands". Also, they are now carrying many items that are organic through their Simple Truth brand. It's clean and easy to navigate around the store.

But anyways, I'm mainly a Kroger guy. Love the Boar's Head deli selection. Whole Foods sometimes.

The reason Kroger carries Boar's Head is because it was actually a Fred Meyer brand, so when they acquired FM, they picked up the Boar's Head brand as well. It's definitely better than anything else we have up here (unless you go to the one butcher shop in town)...
