We have a Brookshire's here, but we shop at Super 1 Foods, it is owned by a cousin of the Brookshire's. They have concrete floors and you have to bag your own groceries, but I like the produce, the meat and the prices. Much cheaper than Brookshire's. http://super1foods.mywebgrocer.com/CircularMain.aspx Becca |
