How many places sell groceries?
We were out and about today and the not so close Target was having remodeling done to fit it with an area for fresh produce.
I like Target, but I'm not going to go there to get bananas.
Target's presence in the Dayton area has come a long way since the days when I was once employed by them. I still remember the logistics nightmare created by the installation of freezers.
I have yet to buy frozen food from Target, but I have bought coffee, cereal, Pop-Tarts, and assorted candies there.
Our local Target is across the street from a Walmart. I've bought milk, yogurt, produce, canned goods, tortillas, bread, crackers, and assorted candies at that Walmart. I don't shop there regularly for groceries since the Silk Milk they carry now costs more than it does at Meijer and Kroger, which both have better check out lanes given the option of self check out. Walmart doesn't have self check-out and lines move slowly.
Rumor has it that Walmart has improved their produce, but I don't care enough for lines when I have viable options with Meijer and Kroger.
After all the meat recalls for pre-shaped patties at Sam's Club, we have yet to buy meat at any grocery store aside from Dot's. We generally buy enough meat to last a couple months. Having a deep freezer allows us to buy in bulk. We tend to buy in bulk for most non-perishables. Sure the cost of an extra freezer adds up, but so does buying things on sale. Getting the Sunday paper tends to pay for itself with the coupons and ads.
With that said, I will sooner buy groceries at Seven-Eleven before I consider buying produce at Target.
