So I now know that these two are one and the same. I do remember seeing a
Smart and Final in Oakland. I always wanted to go there but was never able
to.

So for those of you who go there... What do you buy? I don't necessarily
need to buy large quantities of things most of the time. However, once my
husband moves back here I will be needing some things in large quantities.
Amazing how much food one man can consume! Anyway...

We didn't have time to browse every aisle like we wanted to. I saw super
good prices on produce and cheese. And the bread was cheap. 12 pack sodas
were more expensive than the sale price at most groceries. And this week, 2
stores that I know of are giving out free stuff if you buy 3 of the 12 pack
Coke products. We got the skinny cans at Albertson's for free and Vitamin
water at Target. Target was also giving out chips if you bought the skinny
cans but we didn't need the chips.

Anyway... What sorts of things should I look for there? Thanks!
