I don't shop at sav-a-lot.
You wouldn't be the first person to be insulted or think I am a dumb **** for the way I feel. I spent $6 on a burger today and was laughed at then told I could get a complete meal at McDonalds for less. Some folks just don't care.
Heck I don't even drink beer every day anymore:hairraiser:hairraiser:hairraiser:hairraiser:hairraiser

The retail business climate is worse than cut-throat.
Major players rely on "force of habit" as one of their weapons.
When we were in the contracts department of a major "third party" drug benefits company, we saw predatory behavior played out on a regular basis. A certain chain with operations in Texas would undercut their prices for prescription drugs in order to draw certain groups of insured patients into their stores in specific markets. If they were able to increase market share, so much the better, but the contracts only ran for 3 months, and renewed at the higher, industry standard, reimbursement rate.
It was all just a game ... part of a plan ... they knew exactly what they were doing.
Marketing is a science, human manipulation is a science, that's why they teach it in college.
Personally, we try hard to avoid Wally-World just on general principles.
Wal-Mart, the largest employer in the country, regularly counsels employees on "how to apply for food stamps".
Would the republic crumble if the Wal-Mart board of directors were found guilty of treason and hanged?
We doubt it.
:Agree Had it this week and will be cooking some on the grill tonight!
There are a lot of "I wouldn't eat stuff from that store" snobs on this thread. :rolleyes
It's not about being snobbish, it's about eating healthy. In wally worlds case I have issues with them that are why beyond their products or customer base.
Does save a lot sell antibiotic and hormone free chicken? If that's not what you are buying I do not want any. Greenwise isn't the best but it is better than the antibiotic and hormone laden crap most folks eat. Most of what I eat are whole foods.
Healthy food can be a bit more expensive. Americans are cheap hence the reason the majority are fat. At least I can understand why poor people eat crap food. I wonder why diabetes is rising at an alarming rate. Anyhow here are the fat stats http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm
I PROMISE YOU I WOULD.... Not putting down your cooking at all. Just can't permit myself to eat anything that comes from Sav-a-lot. My money is well spent at Publix and I will gladly pay a little more for better quality,better handled goods.
Dirty Stores, Walk down the canned food aisle everything is a jumbled up mess if the stuff you can see is dirty & messy what do you think the areas you can't see look like?
how are we snobs because we wont eat from a certain store.... I just want a better quality product.....for example, if you have the money and you like nice things is it snobby to buy a nice car NO! because you worked hard for that money and you can do whatever you want with it....so how is it snobby to not want to buy from a dirty environment, with no cleanliness,no customer service, and poor quality **** near expired food?
TMI
Not everyone on here.
There is the problem, there is NOTHING wrong with the product. All stores can be different though. Maybe your Sav-a-lot, Wal-mart or Winn Dixie are dirty. Ours are not. I have ate foods from all of them. Some for 14 years now, some for atleast 10. Never got sick, never threw anything out. If we had a Publix near by, I would go to it for certain Items, but why pay $3.50 for something I can get at Wal-mart for $2.25? The money I save, I can use to go fishing more. :shrug

Hell hath frozen over but sounds like we agree. It is in their best interest to deny the general public fresh caught food so they can sell you sheet laden catfish from China...

I am just here for my amusement.
The whole chicken from Winn Dixie stated Product of Moultrie, Georgia and the 10 lb leg quarters said Greely, Co. Nothing on bags stated a Country origin.
Both packages stated ALL NATURAL. MINIMALLY PROCESSED
FEDERAL REGULATIONS PROHIBIT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL STIMULANTS AND HORMONES IN POULTRY. NO STEROIDS ADDED.

I have eaten there for about 17 years without incident. Last doctors visit (only last month) everything normal.
OK...I did get one gallon of milk that went bad after 2 days. But that is in 17 years.
LOL ... Gallup researchers interviewed 2,027 adults in the U.S. last month to find that 32 percent of adults mostly drink regular soda, 24 percent drink diet soda and 43 percent don't drink any soda. The demographic groups most likely to drink soda included young adults ages 18 to 29 (50 percent said they mostly drink regular soda), people who aren't white (46 percent said they mostly drink regular soda) and people with lower incomes (45 percent of people making less than $30,000 a year said they mostly drink regular soda).
For diet soda, women were more likely than men to say they mostly drank the beverage
This is in our new location. Orlando it was WD, Wal-mart, Alberstons, Xtra, etc, etc. Still alive. :wink

Pesky little facts.
Now that's funny right there.
Fishing beautiful Destin / Ft Walton Beach area!
Agreed...that is why they were doing a big makeover on a 20 year old store here...losing out to Publix badly here around me...they knew they needed to up their game or die...but now it may be too late...lot of people feel like you do..or worse...Heard some old Rednecks say " it's a (n word) store"
