Grocery stores keep scamming us
So now it's Vons. Last night there were thousands of yellow tagged items.
All advertising "reduced pricing." OK, let's have a look Chock full of nuts coffee - last week regular price - 4.65 New low price - 6.75 Ling Ling pot stickers - last week regular price 9.99 New low price - 11.99 Friskies canned cat food - last week regular price .50 a can New low price ..65 a can Bertolli pasta sauce - last week 3.65 regular price New low price 4.25 Massive increase in prices masquerading as new lower prices. And they think nobody notices. |

On the other side of that coin, my friend's wife works at Von's so she gets to keep an eye on prices and when the time is right, she can fill their freezer with next to nothing priced meats (plus her employee discount) a few times a month. It's obscene!  Best, Andy |

I flew through Von's after work yesterday and snagged a nearly-ripe canteloupe for 50¢ that just happened to catch my eye. Not savvy about marketing, but I doubt this would be categorized a "loss leader" if it's not advertised? I mean, you can't grow, harvest and transport canteloupe for 50¢ - along with an English muffin, it made a tasty breakfast.

Not a problem at VONS in addition they are owned by Safeway and it is their policy to mark down meat close to the "Sell By" date. They are one of my best sources for used meat. -- Dimitri Coming soon: http://kitchenguide.wordpress.com. |

I don't remember who started the term maybe Barb. -- Dimitri Coming soon: http://kitchenguide.wordpress.com. |

While traveling through Tennessee some years ago, I saw a sign advertising "Used Cows For Sale." Odd the silly memories that take up permanent residence, while more important ones are all too transient.
