I prefer shopping at Heath's grocery. I travel much and can shop at any of the big box stores. I prefer the quality of Heath's grocery.
Heath's employees are always friendly and helpful. And those that know Frank - well, he is a living legend and a famous movie/tv star.
Heath's has the best meat department. With real people preparing the meats. Not like some of the supercenter stores where the meat is prepared and packaged in Benton, Arkansas. Then shipped nationwide.
I do wish that Heath's would bring back Calo dog food. I do realize that Heath's is an IGA (I think) and obtains much from them.
I have been to that new store in Meredith across from Dunkin Donuts. The entrances and exits are atrocious and dangerous. I don't go in because it is too dangerous to get out.
And I don't find that the big box stores have cheaper prices. Oh, yes, yes, yes, one can find an item or two that in fact costs less. That's a fact. But calculate the cost of fuel and the savings diminish. And yes, if a big box store has more square footage well obviously more stuff can be placed on shelves.
But Heath's Grocery is just fine for me.
