There has been a lot of big weighty matters discussed by a lot of folks on
my friends list lately. So, I feel a bit strange going on about this.
But, writing things down helps me work things out. And, the food has to
come from somewhere. Every time I need to go get food, I think about this.
So, these are the pros and cons of my local supermarket.

Price chopper:
Gives $10 off gas for every $50 I spend. (The best in the area.)
The best bread I’ve had in the area
A very good meat section
Has a seafood department
Sells mushrooms in the size package I want (big)
Has a sushi section
Has a good hot food section
Has some items I consider less than bland
Stocks my soda less than half the time
Never stocks the vitamins I like to take
Never stocks the soy “ice cream” cones I like
Has never restocked any soy treat since the store first opened
Lousy candy section
Charges me for cash back with my debit card ($0.10)
Strange self checkout method

Stop & Shop:
Gives $10 off gas for every $100 I spend and the points expire.
Almost always stocks my soy cones
Almost always stocks my favorite soda
Does not charge me for cash back
Easy to use self checkout
Closest to home
Very bland selection
Bad at restocking
Small meat department
No seafood department

Shaws:
Gets in occasional out of the ordinary items
Often has my soda
Some times has my soy treats
Least conveniently located
Higher prices
“Mutant” problem

Yeah, that settles it.
I like Roche Brothers best.
Too bad it’s two towns over and by far the most expensive.
