Oxford, MS 4/8/2011 (Penny PayDay) -- Everyone has to go grocery shopping, and the dread of having to walk inside a Wal-Mart is unbearable (especially if they are remodeling). Having to ask employees to locate things is like asking a blind man to point you in the right direction and the hassle of standing in line at one of the three open registers is stupid. If you’re not going to use all 25 check-out lines then why have them. On countless occasions I have seen 10-15 people in line at three registers while the other 22 are closed. So why not use Kroger?Many would argue that their prices are higher but maybe that’s because they are a grocery store, not a grocery plus any other item you might need store. I bet if you went to Kroger and bought groceries it would cost less because you were not tempted to buy six candles that are on “sale”, and ten of the $5 compact disc that you don’t need.
Not to mention the fact that for every $100 you spend at Kroger you get a $0.30 discount per gallon by using the Kroger Plus Card that is free and gives you savings in the store as well.
Wal-Mart may have Kroger beaten in the stock market with their 52 week range of $47.77-$57.90 and a day range of $52.75-$53.24 versus Kroger’s 52 week range of $19.08-$24.35 and day range of $23.91-$24.24, but Kroger definitely has my vote for customer service and their overall grocery choices.
