Well most of you old timers know of my total hatred for all things WalMart...please watch this and see how one company has single handedly ruined the American economy (well that and unions) but I digress
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/view/
Anyhow...I've been fed up with the crappy service, quality of product, and the morons who work at my local Hy-Vee. Hy-Vee is a midwest food chain and their home office is about 2 blocks from my house. I've kept going back basically out of convienence and familiarity.
My mom was telling me how impressed she and my dad were with the quality of the meat they've been getting from the local Target SuperStore. My parents are kind of steak snobs, but I still couldn't bring myself to support a company like Target.
Long story longer, tonight I went grocery shopping. I went to Hy-vee, got pissed, walked out. Drove over to Target thinking "what the hell".
I was really surprised. After wandering around not enjoying the fact that I didn't know where everything was. Combine that with not recognizing any of their local brand merchandise "Archer Farms", I finally just decided to not rush things.
I did my usual shopping for a couple of weeks worth of food. Shockingly I did for $150 what I would usually do for around $200+. Plus some of the Archer Farms stuff that I bought was really good!
Oh by the way...tonight I saw they're putting a new Penzey's Spices right down the street from me. I don't know much about them. Anyone know anything about them.
Please respond to my poll
