S & F is on the Northwest corner and Albertson's is on the southeast corner of an intersection. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-48301249485097445202019-01-31T21:22:42.807-05:002019-01-31T21:22:42.807-05:00I've never heard of Winco.

Some very good prices at Fry's if you watch their flyer. <br />The sunset was calming and the perfect way to end the day. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-42673071453428205192019-01-31T21:21:01.819-05:002019-01-31T21:21:01.819-05:00I'm a comparison shopper by nature I think. I ...I'm a comparison shopper by nature I think. I use the prices back in Ontario as a guide of sorts for what I consider to be a reasonable price. I don't add the exchange to that price as we would still have to eat no matter where we are but it's a good base line for what I'm paying. I like Fry's as I can load the sale item to my Fry's card and not have to worry about it after that, it's automatically taken off without me having to point it out. Walmart isn't always cheaper or at least I don't think they are and their prices vary from location to location. Example: Tennessee Walmart BBQ tank exchange was $14 USD and in Texas their BBQ tank exchange was $16 USD. Same size, same company, just a different location. However I will say the shopping experience at both Smart & Final and Albertson's was good and we will of course return in the future. <br />It was a good day and we enjoyed it. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-39053818021353521222019-01-31T21:06:46.048-05:002019-01-31T21:06:46.048-05:00That's exactly what our plan was but instead o...That's exactly what our plan was but instead of going to Parker this time we'll just do a big shop when we reach our next destination.

Is Albertson's the grocery store close to Smart and Final. I thought the store by Smart and Final was a Safeway. But we only went once so I'm probably wrong.

Actually I have found here in the USA that one must keep an eye on fuel prices as they vary greatly even within a short distance. It's all dependent on the station I suppose. <br />We weren't home for most of the day yesterday and I'm sorry you wasted your time and fuel. Like I said in my last post, we're busy today and tomorrow we're heading out for another location. A meeting just wasn't in the works for this year.<br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-70627578457449312442019-01-31T10:49:23.343-05:002019-01-31T10:49:23.343-05:00Thanks very much John.

Walmart is next, even though it seems you can get some good deals on meat at other stores. Oh well it's nice to check out various stores for sure!

The only thing we do here is price shop from store to store. Sometimes Walmarts are cheaper than our Fry's or Albertson's but Blythe doesn't offer one, of course. <br />Sounds like a good day.<br />Patsy Irene (Chillin' with Patsy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023685247825134744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-23260701653874878302019-01-31T08:10:40.370-05:002019-01-31T08:10:40.370-05:00We always shopped both stores picking and choosing...We always shopped both stores picking and choosing what we bought at each store based on price, we found if you did that it was not too bad.
