This morning I visited the local Save-A-Lot, a no frills grocery store where you can buy no-name brands of the basic essentials and bag them yourself (in your own bags of course). I shop there at least twice a month and stock up on things like spaghetti, instant rice, brats, biscuits in cans, cheese, eggs, stir fry veggies, stuff like that. Their pasta sauce is the best, as good as Prego any day. I can't get everything there but I can make a good dent in providing our provisions at rock bottom prices.
I love Save-A-Lot and not just for the 10, 20 or 30% I save there. I love it because it provides a great service to the working folks of our city whose grocery budget needs to stretch mightily to provide food for a family.
Today there was Cuban lady in front of me in line. She needed to take out at least ten items so that her debit card would cover her purchases. I waited patiently. Out in the parking lot, while we loaded our groceries in our respective cars, she said she was disabled and not working right now and didn't Save-A-Lot have the best prices? I agreed and added their quality was terrific too.
Thanks Save-A-Lot!
