Will You Go To A Different Store Just For The Deli... - Page 2

I don't really shop that department but, since you mentioned also 'bakery', I do go to a different grocery store for a bakery item that I LOVE that they make there.

In this one store they make these coconut pecan cookies that I love so much! They are soft, not hard or crunchy, which is how I like cookies. But I love coconut so much that I cannot resist them and the pecans are just the icing on the cake.

Another Boar's Head fan here. Also have a favorite Italian deli that sells freshly-made ricotta.

No I don't go to a different store for deli items. I know too much about how deli departments run and I won't eat at any of them anywhere. (I have a relative who was an executive who handled fresh food departments at two major chains and the stories she told. Shudder).

FYI, Boar's Head products are not made by Boar's Head, they source products from different vendors and put their label on the products. Not saying that this is a bad thing ... just is what it is. Large corporations do the same thing w/ their private label items, in deli/bakery, grocery, etc. they source their brands, say deli meats, from Tyson/Hormel/JennieO, etc.

Now I do go to certain stores because of the quality of their meat/poultry/seafood and produce departments.

Hi! SO nice to see you! I do trust Fresh Market! They are the Roll Royce of food stores.

No, but I agree that Boar's Head products are quite good. I rarely eat sandwiches so I rarely have a need for deli meats and cheeses. And, when I crave cheese, the dairy case is fine. Deli salads are great but I can't justify the price so I usually just make them myself.

We rarely eat anything from the deli.

OMG I wish I could reach in and take one.

I live in a large metro area and have 6! Yes. 6 grocery stores all within 5 minutes of me by car. And I actually frequent all of them for different reasons.

I do prefer different items from the different stores including the deli. I am mostly a vegetarian, so I go to the gorcery store every 2nd or 3rd day to get fresh produce. So i spread my business around and enjoy having a lot of choices.
