The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

Vons is my Pick'n'Save
03.13.05 (11:57 pm)   [edit]
Vons has been my grocery store of choice is southern California.  I've shopped at 3 other stores.  Every worker I encountered offered help, and all seemed genuinely friendly- even offering to bring the cart out to the car. . . They have some pretty great deals on produce and non-perishables alike, if you are flexible.  I'll still go other places to get the best deals, but I think Vons rules, and should get an award for customer service.
(b.t.w.:  I've been in a promoting mood lately- like for freecycle, and now Vons. . . I guess I can be good at sales if it's something I see good in or can stand behind a little).  Pick'n'Save is actually much different than Vons- the one near home (aka walking distance) had a mega-food section, and a good produce and deli section- this Vons has meager selections sometimes, pricey if not on sale- but they also had the peach/nectarine/plum 99c/lb sale . . . Vons is a short drive- the first exit off a highway, and has a Sav-on next door, like Walgreens or Osco stores in the Midwest.  It's nice because sometimes they just have that extra something, this time, dental floss on sale.

Sounds like a small grocery store near my house growing up where my mom liked to shop. It had meager selection and much higher prices than the superstores nearby, but it always had incredible sales on random stuff that apparently (according to my mom) beat the competition by a lot. Sadly, it went out of business 5 or 10 years ago.

I'm sorry to hear that. Did a Walmart do it's damage?

No. It was the combined effect of a Super One and a Cub Foods. But I hear you on Walmart. I do not like their exapnsion policies at all.

You should get on messenger one of these days! Here we are, both online at the same time, with no way to communicate. I'm in the middle of a conversation with Amber right now, too. You could join the fun!
