You can buy staples, cereal, flour, cleaning supplies, and many other things there quite a bit cheaper than other places.

I don't really like the fresh produce for some reason, it doesn't look all spiffily kept like Publix but who really knows about where your parsnips have been?

Some people have other reasons for not shopping there, but it hasn't kept me from going there.

I had folks over to dinner last week and paid...SEVENTEEN dollars for a chuck roast to feed five.

I know. I sound old.
