It's new enough that it may not yet be installed in every Albertson's. The one by my house (Katella & Brookhurst in Garden Grove) just got it a couple of weeks ago.

I'll have to try the Albertson's the nicer neighborhood sometime. I just happen to drive by the Albertson's in the not as nice neighborhood every day. That one was convenient this afternoon.

And then I forgot to go to the office supply store. I guess that shows where my priorities were this afternoon.

Not really. The fact that we were 18 when we got married and stupid beyond our wisdom had a lot more to do with it. We were doomed regardless.

I'm completely happy with my life since and she's still with him a decade later so I assume it was best for her.

All her falling for him did was give us a reason to say out loud how stupid we had been.

So, I take it that there's no more Lucky's in CA? I remember that the only reason to go to Ralph's was for their double and triple coupon days. Other than that, they were just okay...
The supermarket of choice for us is Stop N Shop in MA. They have these super supermarket locations that are huge and clean. There's an awful supermarket here called Foodmaster (which I call Assmaster) it's dimly lit, dirty and their prices truly stink...
I hate carrying around numerous store cards in my wallet. I also dislike the keyring ones, too. I think I have five or six in my wallet now. It bugs.
I also remember Safeway being pretty good in Hawaii...

Albertson's bought out Luckys and, at least in SoCal, changed all the names about 7 years ago.

Safeway's been gone in SoCal even longer (15 years maybe?). It was surreal to see one when we were in San Fran earlier this year.

Bah. I wish I could shop at Wegmans!

I was just there last weekend. They have a new tapas bar in the Pittsford Mothership location. I'm running out of rosemary olive oil bread...

But of course you have Von's which is Safeway in SoCal (and it is Dominick's in Illinois, Carrs in Alaska, Randall's in Texas, and Casa Ley in Mexico).

Going to Von's is weird, like when you go east and see Hellman's mayonnaise or a Hardy's. Different names but everything is eerily similar.

Ghoulish Delight · 09-15-2006, 09:01 AM

Crap, I haven't been in a Von's in bloody ages. I have been in a Carrs, though.

Gemini Cricket · 09-15-2006, 09:07 AM

So, there's no love for Jon's I see...

I love Vons. I miss Pavillions though, none in San Diego. I just found out we have a Bristol Farms though, yay!
