I actually had to run to three different stores to find decent, non spoiled, navel oranges the other week.  Gave up and finally found them at Walmart a few days later for a better price.  If Walmart carried my bread, I might actually forget the supermarket all together and brave the craziness.  I just can't live without my oranges.


@Laura14  I don't know what kind of bread you like, but sometime when you're in Walmart, try their apple fritter bread in the bakery.  I slice it thick, butter it and toast in my toaster oven.  I'm absolutely addicted to it.  It keeps a long time too, over 2 weeks.

@Frosted Cake

 

Your post reminded me that when DH gets a dozen bagels at Giant, there is a special price.  At checkout, the cashier rings up the regular price.  Back he goes to the bread and pastry aisle, finds an employee who then has to consult a big binder and prints the correct pricing label.

 

This has happened so many times that he ( and now I ) find the clerk first and then go to checkout.  You'd think that someone would figure out how to avoid this hassle.

@Kachina624  I do the Ezekiel products which my Walmart doesn't carry.  I've never strolled through their bakery.  I'll have to take a peek.

I am really picky about produce.  I buy it at a high end local chain.  I can't believe the difference from the regular grocery stores.  When our Farmers Markets open (June) I will purchase there but it is not any cheaper. 


*****Where does Walmart's produce other than pre packaged come from?

Same places every other store's produce comes from.

I would never shop at a grocery store whose produce manager does not put quality as Priority One.   Brown, over ripe product is an obvious sign of neglect--enough to make me wonder what other not-so-apparent things are going unattended behind 'the curtain.' 

 

@DiAnne, I'm with you completely on this subject.  

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.
