I'm glad we have the alternative to shop there. Also looking forward to the opening of the Walmart Neighborhood Market across from Colony!

Now, if we could only get a good gourmet store.
I just returned from Fresh Market. They don't carry Dietz and Watson Roast Beef anymore so I got a half pound of Dans.(That is the one the man said was it's replacement) The only cold cuts that they had with Dietz and Watson were Mortadello and Prosciotto. Neither of which I have ever eaten. I am a Souse, headcheese, Roast Beef, Chicken, Thuringer. Braunsweiger, munchin woman. Went to buy fish and they didn't have any cod and the tilapia was much more than at Publix. And the others were VERY, VERY expensive. I went to see the kabobs and the chicken were $6.99 a pound and that was partially made up of green pepper and onion. Seemed expensive even with the I wanted to try "Thomas Sauce". The steak kabobs were REALLY Expensive. Old habits die hard. I tried to be adventurous and we can afford it but I don't want to spend that much... it is an expensive place.
