And yeah, you are now in the "big city league" grocery - wise, so congrats...!!! -- Best Greg |

There is a whole foods that has a large deli and an entire area just for a salad bar where you can sit down and eat, but all of the Albertans around here are no where near the size of that one.

I believe Boise used to be Albertson's headquarters. I don't care for Albertson's much. We shopped there mainly for sale items only when I was a kid. Other stores had better prices. My mom refused to by meat there. Now I know why! It is not good unless you stick to prepackaged, name brand stuff like Foster Farm's, grass fed organic ground beef or a ham steak. But those things can be purchased elsewhere for a lot less money. I do go there for cat grass and their brand of cottage cheese when on sale. If I need a few more items, I might get them there so I don't have to go to two stores. I would never do a full grocery shop there. Winco and the Walmart food center are much cheaper. I also go to TJ's or Sprouts for a few specific things that I can't get elsewhere. I spent a lot of time walking through the Clearview Albertsons when the dance studio was located there. I know that store well. I mainly walked up and down the aisles to give me something to do. Particularly if the studio was teeming with wild, younger siblings. |

It was a very nice store but soon enough sold out to Schnuck's. I'm sure Kroger is still around but I don't know what other grocery stores are in that area now. This Albertson's looks a lot like the Publix where I shop now except Publix doesn't have a cocktail lounge or a Starbuck's. There is a Hallmark Card shop, does that count? ;) Jill |

What you're telling us here is that you're dumber than a spellchecker and you don't care if people understand what you write. The latter is not a bad strategy, since about half of what you write is complete bullshit. Cindy Hamilton |

It's a pity that the spell-checkers in common use can't tell when to use "take" instead of "bring" or correct such howlers as "very unique" or "new innovation". |

Spell checkers that also check grammar? I use the Google product but it's likely that most text systems will have these in the future. You still have to have some wits about you in order for it to work. It's fairly obvious that some posters care little about grammar or spelling or even remaining in the realm of the logical. That's what makes Usenet and the internet so much fun! In the future, most written words will be finished and refined by AI. That's no fun because it won't be a human product. I don't mind my foods not being natural but prose should always be organic. :) |

No hard alcohol sales in stores, but we do have wine bars and beer, plus all the prepared and cooked to order stations. $14/lb for brisket at a restaurant is lower than anything around here, but we have top-o-the-line smoked brisket here. Good price for roast beef (we pay $12-14 here lately). Are those fish balls or mochi? Nothing there we don't have, but not all under one roof. Whole Foods an Central Market come pretty close, though. Excpect those to be "introductory prices" that will start rising gradually but consistently. It's very hard to run stores like this efficiently and profitably. but overall that looks like a pretty score - "the largest Albertson's ever" - for a Podunk. -sw |

What this Albertsons has is a bar. Surprising because I wouldn't have thought that would get past our ultra conservative busy bodies. We have some of the features in another new Albertsons that was opened last year in our city proper. It is disconcerting to shop there because the layout doesn't follow traditional supermarket layout. I suppose that's why I avoid Whole Foods. As to fish balls or mochi, I haven't a clue. I guess I'll find out when I go to the store. The store is really out of my travel and access pattern and I'll wait until the hubbub dies down. Thanks for telling me about stores in bigger communities. You didn't put a smiley after Podunk ;-( Janet US |

They can't avoid poor syntax or misused words, they just correct spelling errors (kind of). Jill |

The local Albertson's brand, Jewels, returned self-checkout registers after dropping them 2 years ago. |
