Shopping here is a pleasure. Stores are clean with friendly, efficient employees. I have been a customer for over 30 years. Good, fresh produce, superlative meat selection, excellent quality. Prices may be a bit higher that other national chains, but I have never had occasion to return an item to Brookshires.
Have shopped at Aldi many times and had Aldi delivery of groceries to my door. EXCELLENT products and service. Aldi has been a life saver during this pandemic.
Tip for consumers: Saltines are top quality, produce is great, meat & cheeses are priced right, and the variety of cheese is extensive.
My family and I have bought baked goods from the Village Bakery since it opened in 1948. Excellent baked goods, especially pies and cookies. My Thanksgiving is not complete without a pecan pie from Village Bakery.
Tip for consumers: Excellent baked good and very courteous employees.
I do shop at Walmart to buy certain items, both store brand and national brand. While my local market is clean and efficient, the "super center" can be chaotic at times and is not clean enough to please me.
Employees can be helpful or they can completely ignore you. Good variety of canned goods, meat, produce, etc. Size of store is over whelming to this 81yo;.
Tip for consumers: be prepared to walk long distances, long check-out lines as I have never seen all the check stands used despite long lines.
