So don't buy them and let those who can't or won't cook use them. Who are you
to judge whether they are NEEDED or not?

After all, you buy already shredded salad stuff like lettuce and celery.
I don't see the need for those items unless you are too lazy to cut them up
yourself.

I buy shredded celery? I've never even seen such a thing. Once in a while I
buy a small bag of shredded iceberg when I know I will use it for tacos or
sandwiches. Reason for that is I will never use up a head of iceberg. We
don't eat that as salad. Most of the time I buy whole heads of lettuce or
other greens. During the warm season, I grow my own,.

You could buy a whole iceberg lettuce, shred one half and send the
other half to Yemen.

A whole head of lettuce is usually less than a preshedded bag.
You also get more very fresh for the money.
Even if you don't use it all, it's still cheaper to buy whole.

When I buy a whole head, it's usually on sale for about $1.00. As
I know it might go bad before I use it, I actually plan meals
around it as to use it up before it goes off. Keep it no more
than a week at the longest... use within 3-4 days is best.

When I don't use it all and it become rusty, I feed it to the worms in

But a whole head takes up a ton of room in my fridge. Yes, there is waste
when I buy a bag because I generally only use a little bit. No need wasting
a whole head. Not even sure my gardener would feed that to his goats. A bag
is 99 cents. A whole head is usually more money than that.

Your prices are less there than here.

I often buy whole heads of lettuce, various kinds. I never buy those
plastic bags of chopped salad stuff, they disgust me.

My fred meyer puts the same stuff in more than one location - and I
don't mean the organic stuff separate from non, I mean the same brown
eggs are in two separate places, the same milk, the same pepperoni,
the same Lay's chips. They recently shifted the bacon (which is all in
one place) about eight feet to the right. There may be a method but it's
not centered on the shopper's convenience.

I have seen that too. This one disbanded the health food section and put
that stuff in with the regular stuff. I loved it back in the old days when
the health food was a dept. of its own complete with cash register. I would
go in, shop only that section and leave. The Lynnwood one also had a spiffy
candy counter, Shoreline is a much smaller store. Don't remember the candy
counter there.

The deli at my fred meyer is slow - the staff are slow, and there is
no organization as far as a line or number system. If I need something
from the deli I circle back to it a couple of times during my shopping
trip and go when there aren't many people waiting. Sometimes I circle
back and see all the same people waiting five minutes later.

Fortunately the thing I usually get there is black forest ham, and
they've started slicing and bagging it ahead of time in 1/2 lb to 1 lb
portions so I can just grab and go.

They're not my favorite store for groceries. They don't even sell wheat
grass and overall their prices are high. When Angela was young, I bought her
clothes there. We don't care for most of their adult clothing but we did get
some sweaters one year. I do like their plants though.

I've seen bananas in a few places in a store, most often by the breakfast
cereals as well as the produce section.

It's confusing.

Why? Many people put bananas on cereal so it is handy to have some
there as well as in the produce section.

Agree. What I dislike is when a store puts a product in a weird section and
not at all where you think it would be. Example: Central Market has a
section of Mexican foods. But there are no beans there. All beans including
refried are in the bean section.

Another example at the same sto Fortune cookies are on the aisle with
Japanese breads. Not in the section with Asian cookies and candies. And you
have to buy a ton. They do not sell the box of a dozen like other stores do.

Another example. They have cheese in three different places. Used to be
four. They used to have alternative/dairy free cheese in the vegan
refrigerated section. Now they are in the dairy case with the mostly cheaper
cheeses. And yet... They have a cheese case that carries importer and local
cheeses such as Beecher's. It's on the other side of the store from the
dairy case. You will find imported butter over there. Then there is the deli
dept. where you can get more cheese. Oh and I forgot the cold food bar. If
you want fresh Mozzarella, it's over there.

I'm all for convenient product placement. But please also put the damned
stuff where it belongs or at least put up a sign directing people to the
other aisle or aisles where we might find the product.

Central Market has butter in three different places. The two I just
mentioned and and end cap. There you will find the chef's portions or
whatever you call the large, oddly shaped almost rectangles in huge amounts,
wrapped in waxed paper.

Fortunately, we dont have too much of that in the UK..... yet.

The nearest we get is that town centre supermarkets have an area which caters
for office workers grabbing lunch, or something for dinner; so we get a small
amount of various food displayed there - apples and bananas next to
sandwiches and bottled soft drinks, for instance.
