this summer i'm conducting an experiment: does the comfortable, pleasant experience of grocery shopping at genuardi's counter-balance the higher cost?i've been shopping at what i like to call the "ghetto giant." it's not in the nicest plaza. the meat/dairy section reeks (seriously, i'm not exaggerating here!). i saw a mouse running through the store once. they never have more than 2 lines open and it takes forever to check out.
the following are the reasons i'm trying genuardi's: it's close & if i shop there after work, i can avoid being on 611. the staff is friendly and helpful. it doesn't smell bad. i have had no experience with rodents while on their facility.
today my bill was extremely high. granted, i bought stuff to make snacks (like hummus and guac), stocked up on beef/chicken AND got stuff for melissa's birthday dinner on thursday. so i expected to spend a little more. it seemed like the staples were comparably priced. we'll have to see if next week it's as expensive...
