They did seem to have the highest price on Slimfast products and not a very
large selection. But the lowest price on Atkins bars. Occasionally their
soda pop is not such a good price but that happens with every store. I have
only bought a small amount of meat there. Daughter was fine with it when
she ate meat but husband didn't care for it. Best price on cheese by far!
And they have good pizza crust and sauce. Also love their assortment of
Mexican foods and their bulk foods keep getting better and better. When I
first went there, I stood in the produce department and told daughter, "This
is heaven!"
